I've said this many times before, but that the insurrectionists barely got the lightest of sentences, if any at all, is why they will 100% try this again.

In my opinion the "Prisoner's Dilemma" would be a lot easier to explain if instead of this prisoner/police framing it was about whether people decide to wear facemasks during a COVID-19 wave

@lady Babies can be gross. We've been lucky as ours seems pretty fussy so not a lot of random stuff in his mouth.

An excellent summary of contemporary anxiety from Eventually Everything Connects by Sarah Firth.

Sarah Firth in her wonderful comic Eventually Everthing Connects has a chat with her partner about all the shit that's going on and her need to do something about it. He says: 'If your sphere of concern is much bigger than your sphere of influence, you're gonna feel totally overwhelmed'.

„If libraries were invented today they would be illegal.“

Well. It’s not a joke anymore:

casual eldritch horror is my favorite

a dark, misty road winding through a forest with tall trees on either side. The central focus is a large, ominous red monolith floating in the middle of the road.

"God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you're back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun's cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me."

"The only influence X has left is the influence journalists and politicians give it. For the good of all of us, it’s time for them all to unplug."

Journos and poIs I know many of you feel your brands require you to be there. I was once in a similar position, no longer am, so leaving was easier for me than it would be for you. I'm not telling you that you should, only that if you do, many of us will honor the decision.

I'm weird and I approve this message.

Remember people: "Normal" is a setting on the dryer.

There is no such thing.

We are all "weird" to someone. No biggie.

Screenshot of a social media post that says “basically people who don’t mind being called weird are good weird, and people who don’t like it are bad weird”

Just sharing coz this might be consequential. He’s currently the 3rd most popular candidate and there’s a chance he endorses Trump: RFK Jr has a body count with actual kids dying as a direct result of what he did. He faced no consequences and in many ways just benefited from it.

Not just WEIRD but heartlessly CRUEL. The GOP, the Right in this country are deeply, deeply unpleasant, unhappy people, who want everyone to be as miserable as they are

After DOJ concluded Phoenix police systemically violate civil rights, 56% of Phoenix cops say they’re thinking about quitting unless city fights DOJ oversight

Like they tell people subject to stop & frisk, “If you got nothin to hide, you got nothin to worry about.”

Outrageous that law enforcement doesn’t want to be subject to law enforcement. We need reform ASAP.

There are only two *appropriate* responses to Marc Andreessen pontificating:

(1) Roll your eyes until you leave yourself with a migraine.

(2) Point and laugh at the guy.

Today, for TechPolicyPress, I choose option 2. It's the healthy choice.
