Doomer Post Alert!

Like most public-facing doomers, I get the question all the time, followed by "where's the best place to live?"

In the US, we are lucky we live in a neo-fascist kakistocracy. Because it's going to get a whole lot worse.

I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.
I was a stranger and you sent me away.
I was a stranger and you put me in chains.
I was a stranger and you filmed my humiliation.
I was a stranger and you showed my humiliation.
I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.

The journalist below is playing a vital propaganda role: parroting the idea that what the richest authoritarians in the world are doing is “cost savings.” Speaking like this provides cover for the commandeering of public machinery for authoritarian oligarchic rule.

Takes a lot of guys to cover “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Nirvana….but I think Post Malone actually kind of killed it

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

@equalityAlec Using “the status of our country” as a bond factor on the record is absolutely wild to do

Two days ago, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that "shaken baby syndrome" is junk science.

Today, the Court decided that Texas can execute a man who was convicted based on that same junk-science evidence.

And they couldn't even be bothered to explain why.
