i literally just got a doctor who listens to me about my pain and the first thing she told me was, "it doesn't matter what anything says, your pain is real regardless of how you express it and nobody can tell you how much pain you are in" and it's cool to see that kind of empathy die in real time

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

(Also also: with trek tech, the distinction between a submarine, surface vessel, and aircraft might well be very blurred compared to today)

Also, assuming the primary restriction in power/firing duration for beam weapons in a world with antimatter reactors is heat, a submarine/wet ship in the ocean has a nigh unlimited heat sink compared to a ship in vaccum

I mean, a submarine would be a good platform to mount surface to orbit weaponry that can evade detection and relocate to avoid retaliatory bombardment....
Also given some of the wildlife seen in trek, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some *nasty* sea critters on a few of the colonies lmao

Nah, unaccountable goon squads rounding up "racial undesirables" with impunity?
Quintessentially American.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.

This is true, but surely virulent misogyny is just as much a motivator?

m @keptsimple.bsky.social · 6h

overwhelmingly, the thing that motivates a young person to become a movement conservative is racism, specifically anti black racism. the conservative movement does care about other things, but racial animus has been the primary motivating factor for entry into the movement for decades.

in college i got thrown out of a very nice vietnamese restaurant because i got in a screaming fight with a young republican from my school who sneeringly declared marital rape wasn't real

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

I feel as though in 2020, the worst of liberal schadenfreude was "haha!! orange man gone!!" but then Trump returned to office and every day since his guys have said things like "here is an Excel sheet to demonstrate the feasibility of executing Democratic lawmakers"

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 9h

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

My feed has been an endless parade of horrors committed by ICE for MONTHS.

And this is the best the 'opposition' can muster.

I hope I live long enough to see justice done to all these monsters, the ones with their fingers on the triggers and the ones who handed them the guns.

Liberals don't have any substantive disagreements with fascism, and so whenever they try to oppose fascism they default to takes like 'no true member of the master race would be caked up lol'

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.
