Trump lives in some sort of reality pastiche of Richard Scary and Marquis de Sade.
the police are 0.6% of the population.
including their families they could be wiped out very easily.
i think that trump wants to use the police to incite a class war to avoid losing the election.
i have no idea who would side with whom in the US.
"failed state" is a funny way to call a geography that has been at the center of Xian conflict for 1500 years.
Israel will end up using its secret nuclear arsenal for a similar guarantee.
One landlord told me he had to charge so much because of his Asian wife was greedy.
Glad that old white landlord can hide is greed behind his racism for his wife's ethnic background.
Rich people are shit people.
enshitification is based on the ease of moving profits from users to creators then from creators to shareholders in a digital service economy all the while degrading the service for the users and then the creators as the profit fulcrum.
so enshitification might be a different thing than the reality around manufacturing items in an international environment which requires design decisions that later require revising because not all materials are available from everyone in the way a design is called for. and finding people that can assemble things while receiving a wage that they can live so that a company can make a profit requires compromises. and that is just two tiny points in not including shipping and workspaces and insurance et cetera
it is hard, yo. in a not a one part is inconceivable hard but in a it gets complicated pretty quickly type of hard.
i was really close to using this service.
then they got hacked. so i waited.
now this makes me glad that i waited.
Doxx all of the cops.
It is literally that simple. Them being vulnerable at their homes should be required for that job.
Everyone knew where the heroes of the Iliad lived. If they want to be tough guy heroes let us know where you live, officer.
Everybody knew where the sheriff and deputies lived in Mayberry.
Honestly I hadn't thought of him until this post about that tweet.
Talk about a living.
anyone with extensive use of kitchen tongs has a primordial understanding of our clicky-clack fates

For when you are too fierce for the chaps there is the F-150.
They’re harder to extinguish than a gas car if they end up catching on fire.
Yeah that is gonna be a bigger problem than most people imagined.
Anyone else seen this possibly insane man driving insane truck? by throwdataway31
Anyone else seen this possibly insane man driving insane truck?
There's this truck, I see it hauling ass everywhere around town like it's blasting across the alkali flats of some future hellscape.
This truck has no regard for traffic laws the regular citizen is upheld to.
It's missing a headlight and has a stuffed dinosaur shoved in the whole where the light once was.
The man inside appears to be some kind of psychotic but handsome construction worker, he leans out the window and calls old men "baby". The truck itself while already loud usually has some sort of loud music emitting from it, last time I saw it was limp bizkits popular 90s track "nookie".
Anyone else seen this fool? I can't be the only one. This truck+man inside are lawless hooligans.
wherever I saw "putting a wet piece of parchment over the loaves and then removing after 15 minutes" thank you, thank you, thank you.
That addition moved me one huge step closer. I don't remember where I saw or read or listened to or wherever I learned it but I was too weary to pour boiling water into my gas oven and this really worked for me.
In 2022 the WA legislature began to allow police to use force to take a person into psychiatric evaluation. WA police are also now allowed to use force to take a minor into protective custody.

Evil betide me if I do not open the door to know if that is true which is said concerning it. So he opened the door ... and when they had looked, they were conscious of all the evils they had ever sustained, and of all the friends and companions they had lost and of all the misery that had befallen them, as if all had happened in that very spot; ... and because of their perturbation they could not rest.

I just found that out from my local store. What a weird system.
We Cry Together by Frederick Joseph
We Cry Together
Her shriek is raw, snapping all the world’s quiet As dreams, unborn, tumble into the abyss of almost. I don’t know this sound; an anguish that pierces my soul. With what little strength I have, I grab her hand, Weaving through the grooves of her sorrow, Though my grip is frail. The geography of her face is foreign to me, As the doctor explains the terrain of a pain I cannot mend. A black hole I cannot save her from. Nah, this can’t be right. Look again! Refusing to accept my wife’s body, As the site of such an inexplicable vanishing— A promise left lingering in the world of daydreams.
She asks me and the doctor to leave the room, Needing a moment to plead with the universe. From the hallway, I hear her sobbing, an ocean devouring her smile. My knuckles meet the steel door of a sterile hospital room, Attempting to punch away our misfortune, until I can replace it With something she actually deserves. For all of the IVF shots, The nights we debated over names, the anxiety attacks about money, And the moments we pinched ourselves at the idea of being chosen by Saadiq. Saadiq Joseph.
How do you stitch a wound living in the syllables of a name never called? There is nothing to say, when spun into a vortex of unspeakable loss. We spend weeks huddled around grief like a campfire, Telling silent ghost stories about the people we stopped being Just days before. Nurturing a flame so small it could be mistaken for hope.
In the most somber hours, when the world took its deepest breath, I sat beside her, staring at the slight crescent of her unhoused belly, For so long, I swore I heard a heartbeat, but it was actually planets collapsing In the cavities of my chest. And I wondered, how are we going to survive this, And in time, my question was answered: Together.
TIL that in Victorian London mail delivery routes would go by every house 12 times a day.
I just came across a great New York Times piece on the mail service in the Victorian era. It's full of trivia: for example, did you know that in 1889 London, mail was delivered TWELVE TIMES A DAY? Read this: In Victorian London, though service wasn't
