Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

You might need to prepare yourself to hear this, but humans are also native to this planet. It is our natural habitat.

A funny thing about foxes, though, is while they could move away from us, we can’t move away from them. Like cats and rats, foxes are opportunistic and will move to be closer to human societies, which are sources of easy and abundant food.

Humans also take care of animals, be they pets or pests. If you’re a stupid injured fox, the number one thing you want to see approaching is a woman. That woman will pick you up, wrap you in her spare car sweater, put you in the cargo organizer in the back of her car, and break every traffic law on the books to get you to the animal hospital. When they tell her you’re going to be okay, she’ll cry.

You, a stupid fox, will be the reason she has to get a rabies shot. And, since no creature respects technology it did not invent, you will wildly overreact in mindless and counterproductive ways to traveling in an automobile, so she’ll also have to get her car’s interior cleaned. There’ll be no saving the car sweater or cargo organizer, not with that much fox urine, but still she won’t be even a little bit mad at you.

For the rest of your life, she and her extended family will visit you at whatever taxpayer funded wildlife rehabilitation center you end up in. And, long after you are gone, her grandchildren will still tell tales about grandma and the fox. You, some dumb fox who broke your stupid leg and had the incredible luck to be found by a human woman, will have a legacy that passes down through entire human generations.

Fuck out of here. Foxes have never had it so good.

Now my eternal struggle: figure out which essays I want to read online now vs those I want to wait to read until the hard copy arrives by mail

[Rubicon @Rubicon_Press]

We are pleased to announce the launch of Rubicon, a new quarterly of books and ideas.

Every journal makes a wager about what its readers can bear: how much difficulty, how much dissent, and how much of the past. Our wager is that they can bear quite a lot. Elsewhere, opinion arrives without argumentation and the facts of history arrive flattened into whatever narrative is needed by present expediencies. We are betting on the alternative: that a reader will follow an essay of six thousand words if the thinking is honest, and that ideas outside the current consensus deserve the same attention as those inside it.

Rubicon exists because the essay-review—long-form, argued, unhurried—has become an endangered form of thought. Our inaugural issue attempts to reinvigorate that tradition by bringing together eight essay-reviews spanning left-wing political violence, Cold War diplomacy, civil rights law, fin-de-siècle Vienna, Hollywood’s rise and fall, the ideological ferment of interwar Italy and France, and generative anthropology.

@Tara061417362 @jk_rowling I know who I am as a person. I’d be leaving with quokka VD. God really saved me from myself by putting oceans between me and them.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

@jk_rowling It needs to be illegal for me to enter whatever country they’re in because I will absolutely feed them.

@lecternleader @grok Step one to the quick fix happening behind the scenes right now appears to be removing the word “lectern” from Grok’s memory. You’re a proud craftsman now!

Hey @grok where did you source this information? I can't find any evidence Adam Johnson took it from the building.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

@FreddyLA7 Anyone bring you to the range yet? Because I can take you fellas to the range on that swing through Eastern PA if “shoot stuff” is on your to-do list.

@SomeBitchIIKnow I’m still kinda mad that it’s so good. Really wanted to hate it. Now I clap my stupid hands when it’s on a menu.

“Why do Americans have a negative reaction to our presence and behavior” seems like a discussion England needs to have privately as a nation.

[HMS HTAFC @HMSHTAFC]

I find it interesting how so far this world cup everyone has loved seeing fans from across the world take over pubs, chant, bring a part type atmosphere to wherever they are

But as soon as England arrives and do the same thing it's looked down on

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

Now seems like both right and wrong time to reveal that her unHerd piece kicked off a series of events that ultimately resulted in me, an American, having Irn Bru on auto-delivery from Amazon. I lost every ounce of respect I had for her, but the Irn Bru is my little silver lining.

At this moment in this neighborhood there lives a man named Ahmed or Samir or Yusuf, who holds power he can’t even comprehend.

Should he come across this video and see this cop warn a white man about the many thefts in the area, he will take offense. He will decide it is racist for a white cop to caution white visitors against displaying their valuables here, in Ahmed’s vibrant little corner of town.

Maybe Ahmed is busy today, too busy to waste time online, and the video will lose traction before he logs back on. Maybe fate will see fit to have Ahmed robbed of his phone on his way home tonight, leaving him unable to scroll until he replaces it. Who can say what today holds for Ahmed, except that this cop’s future hangs in the balance. He has both committed and not committed a crime. Only Ahmed can decide.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

Listen to what these Police officers say:

It doesn't matter if what you said wasn't racist, if someone claims it was we can arrest you.

Madness

@dissproportion This one weirded me out when I learned about it. Now I imagine them like those giant inflatable tube things you see at car dealerships, flopping around and slamming into each other until an egg drops. Undignified.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

Guys when I am killed by a black bear, please let the record show it’s because I was trying to steal a cub for my black bear domestication project and not bc I tried to fight one.

[pagliacci the hated 🌝 @Slatzism]

it was a black bear that killed him. a black bear.

do you know how comically retarded you have to be to piss off a black bear enough that it wants to kill you?

If women collectively decide to use the room under the men’s signage (since it’s apparently unisex, as well) then at least you’ve put the men-in-dresses in a bit of a bind, torn between their desire to be in the same room as actual women vs having to enter the fitting rooms labeled as men’s.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

@CartoonsHateHer This looks incredible on you. It flatters you from every angle.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

@_LukeCSkywalker @eigenrobot He has a well established history of succumbing to vice, so I find the charge of cowardice plausible. Vices are known to cluster.

When you mute Aella on this app they put her fluffer on your tl instead.

@xwanyex I really enjoy that arms were unevenly distributed but everyone got a belly button.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

Anyway, just to circle back to my chief complaint, I expected rap battles to feature more prominently in the rap battle movie, and I specifically expected Lose Yourself, the song famously written for this movie, to have some sort of prominent place in it. Alas, this is where expectations get us.

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

Anyway, Rabbit goes on zero dates with Brittany Murphy and has 1:30 of factory sex with her and so now his kind-of-friend is the bad guy for having radio-station-sex with her? It kind of seems like maybe this is just WHAT SHE’S LIKE and fighting over her is futile and they’d be better off making that demo together so we can SEE HIM PERFORM THE SONG IN THE MOVIE?

[🌲la loba🌲 @unamomber]

I mean I’m not proud of this but I’m pretty well acquainted with the dance battle genre of movie. So I guess I expected that to translate to the famous rap battle movie. Like I didn’t expect Steve Harvey to be there to guide these kids away from the streets and onto the dance floor, but I did expect the rap battle movie to have significantly more rap battles.
