Has Meta the brand usurped the meaning of meta? Or can we still call posts about posting “metaposts”?

it's pretty much a hard rule now: if a widget that could still be done manually, let alone without electricity, yet requires network connectivity outside the house as part of its core function, then it doesn't belong in the house

time to say no to all this fragility

I am just saying: LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN LEGALLY INTERVENE WHEN FEDERAL AGENTS ACT UNCONSTITUTIONALLY. THIS IS SETTLED LAW.

The ex-prosecutor also said this:

“I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

If you still have the contact info for artist, I think asking for an update and perhaps making a similar offer to donate to charity would be a lovely gesture. 💕

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

And the idea that poor and working class people don’t care about anything symbolic, are monomaniacally fixated on money, and incapable of holding multiple ideas in their head at the same time is condescending and empirically false.

Reminds me of “NPCs.” Think of humans as automatons, not as people.

This mystery happened in my house ~decade ago: mystery was the way gutters and roof angles met kept getting jammed up so: water got blocked up, and for some reason the path of least resistance = leaked thru ceiling light in hallway. I hope your mystery is solved quickly and cheaply

I believe in redemption for everyone. I do. It's a part of my abolitionist makeup. I believe anyone who genuinely wants to do the work can be redeemed.

I also believe that redemption is not forgiveness. See, the people I've wronged in my life are under no obligation to forgive me,

Marcellus Williams was executed as an innocent man, and those who supported his execution often said he hadn't shown remorse...for the crime he didn't do.

I think that's one of the things that's bothering me about not just Platner, not just Cuomo, but our whole society.

I'm lucky. I've managed to atone to my family in ways that let them trust me as much as they'd trust any other adult child, but I've been at meetings with people who've had to accept they can visit their grandkids but can never be alone with them and that their kid was reasonable to set the rule.

I like this. it more specifically captures the problem with that particular attitude. “stupid” is overly broad while “willfully ignorant” shows where the refusal to take agency lies

My feed is always England-heavy when I wake up, I don’t get a lot of US posts until later in the day - even when the posts are older! I don’t mind, but it’s quite curious

Sorry you’re not well! (unsolicited info: you don’t need expensive toilet! I bought a fairly low cost bidet at the beginning of the pandemic and that has made all the difference for tummy troubles and menses time)

This is only a slight exaggeration from
how the 14 yo has phone set up and yet still requires the work Rachel describes on top of it. Luckily that’s the spouse’s bailiwick
