Anthro nerd, geek, goth-but-doesn't-bother. Definitely on a side: inclusivity, empathy, respect. If your thing involves oppressing or exploiting people, know that my thing is going to smash your thing. Wait, that didn't come out right, did it?

RTO is cause the security for the AI bubble is a real estate debt bubble, and now they're saying openly that the government (that is, our taxes) is ultimately holding the bag, just like last time; Citizen, take comfort knowing that no billionaires will be harmed in the destruction of the economy.

I just saw an AI search summary result telling me "no, you can't do that" followed by the text explaining exactly how to do that. I am so excited to see this replace competence, I tells ya.

There is a direct line between SNAP and Epstein Island. For everyone wondering why they want to make poverty more lethal: their favorite drug isn't coke, its the power to force people to do things because the alternative is mortal danger. They find this interruption in their fun unacceptable.

Remember what the dormouse said: feed your head. As autumn ends, it will have stored enough fat to enter a state of hibernation, allowing you to quietly exit the space.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Yes! The scandal is that the society permits it to happen; it has been going on *the whole time*, we get these occasional glimpses, iceberg tips. The system we tolerate made all of this inevitable. ALL of it, see? From the Island to ICE to Bibi, there are laws for us but not for them.

Nobody gets to say who the movement 'belongs to'. This language is, itself, divisive in approach- who are we letting in to the tent? Is there a bouncer? That's how *fascists* think, FFS. This notion of watering things down so we don't make anyone too uncomfortable needs to die.

If your movement requires leftists to shut up, because we’re a problem,

but the fascists must always be heard and negotiated with, respectfully?

Your movement is purely about silencing the left.

This has always been the Democrats’ β€œgood cop” role in enabling fascism. It got us here.

"Are you sure you want to exit?" should be a setting we can turn on or off. I will not die on this hill, but I will get very obnoxious whilst I'm dragged off of the hill with a face full of pepper spray, as someone in a wholly in appropriate aheyago shirt shouts at me to tell everyone my name.

I'm not both sidesing anything, this is a problem I see. Look at how hard it is to actually discard the divine right. China kind of failed at it- nobody probably walks around saying Xi has that, but they still *act* like it. We're used to being abused by authority. We accept it. That must change.

They have facial recognition data on everyone though. Dashcams, Rings, and civic cams all feed a database the pricks have built. The toothpaste has already left the tube on this one. Assuming they don't start to simply use AI to fabricate them instead, or be all it was YOU in the frog suit.
