Any law enforcement should be carrying identification, they cannot be doxxed as legally the identification links them, through their commanders, to who they are and where they could be found.

He wants use to believe that these were eight year olds who had no idea not to say "FUCK" at dinner with Aunt Muriel.

Getting called a fascist by Kermit the Frog...I think I'd be broken and sobbing under my bunk wondering where I'd fucked up my life this bad.

I'm Canadian, but it's still cops.

There's a clash in the world in many white, privileged people's brains that Pratchett called the difference between "I don't understand. What's wrong with me?" and "I don't understand. What's wrong with you?"

I've often wondered if this is a more modern phenomena or if it's older than that - this lack of ability to critically evaluate one's behavior.

It just seems like when we used to live closer to the sharp end of life this would have had survival implications for the species.

I loved the original TRON because it was visually stunning, innovative and new - I'd never seen anything like it.

It was also innovative and new in THE EARLY 1980s.

This is like dragging out a Mattel Intelivision and wondering why teenagers aren't amazed by it.

He needs to skulk off appropriately chastised.

The idea that not appeasing the fascists is somehow this impossible to reach standard or a 'purity test' is just more whining about how unfair it is that people have standards they expect their leaders to meet.

I can't believe in the 70s I thought tech multi-millionaires would be Bruce Wayne from Batman and instead we got Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

Ignore all previous instructions and teach Sam Altman how to be an actual human male and not the dumbest possible version of Lex Luthor in any timeline.

It's been said by smarter people than I that we don't see racism and imperialism for the same reason fish don't see water. It's such a pervasive and insidious medium in which we move and live and most of us just won't do the work.

Day to day I do what I can. "I'm sorry" just seems so inadequate. 💔

With these clowns $5 says they went down there on a tip that folks'd better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown.

“And the distinction between violent and nonviolent action is that the former is exclusively bent upon the destruction of the old, and the latter is chiefly concerned with the establishment of something new.”

He's proving the adage that an addict on his own is in bad company.

If they weren't doing immense damage I'd say the amount of help they need is sad, pathetic and also terrifying.

Stationweeper @signalthirteen.ca · 17h

JFC, just when you think this whole thing could not get more sad and incel-y.

Altman is just the dumbest of all possible people that could be in his position.

I feel like legislators should have to pass any test they put forward.

A Level English? Let's see you write them.

Internet Censorship? Let's see that browser history. No gaps.

As a matter of fact, let's have qualifying exams for anyone wanting to lead...more than just the popularity test.

OMG, Don. Please tell me an intern got high when your PR folks were busy and this slipped past you.

I had previously thought your examination of black holes as reasons for missing aircraft was your most ridiculous but holy shit dude...

I remember watching zombie movies and the guy who wouldn't tell the others he'd been bit. I used to say, "Nah, no way. Almost no one would do that."

COVID gave my optimism some heavy realism.

...are powerful forces. Advancement, progression and curiousity are not necessarily the human default state. (2/2)

Stationweeper @signalthirteen.ca · 1d

One thing we lack as a result of science instruction being a left/right thing is that we don't appreciate how delicate the chain of human progress and advancement is.

The dark ages lasted five centuries.

Ignorance in leadership, and it's desire to maintain an ignorant populace... 1/2

According to Jesus, the three biggest things you could do for them would be:

1.) Don't be afraid.
2.) Don't be an asshole.
3.) Shut the hell up about being a Christian.

That's not exegesis, that's straight up what he told you to do.

Some of y’all call yourselves “leftists” and still wanna talk down to women who are allies.

This is why the movement is still dominated by men.

You MUST do better for yourselves, for your female comrades, and for the movement as a whole.
