The shooting death of a protestor at the hands of police feels like both an inevitable outcome of this long battle over Atlanta’s South River Forest and a completely preventable tragedy.

five years from now we will survey the damage that large language models and diffusion engines have wrought upon the internet, and we will wonder why we chose to actively sacrifice the single most transformative source of knowledge the world has ever known. and there will be no satisfying answer

Also, don't get me started about how sick I am of "bodies" being used to describe *people*. Yes, I've read Foucault. I'm an academic, I understand it *intellectually.* But for the purposes of public facing advocacy, it's alienating.
The state wants to turn us *into* bodies. For now, I'm a *person.*

This shit is so insulting; I grew up next to an interstate (which contributed to my asthma) and under a La Guardia flight path. Amadou Diallo was killed by my local police precinct.
And none of this bullshit resonates with me at all. This is so fucking condescending.

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas
