Lumberg’s stock is up .0025! Working as designed.

20 years ago I read an article in the Atlantic or New Yorker or salon or something good and it was a Japanese American author talking about going home over Thanksgiving and how her family and relatives were super gung-ho about the, then new, anti-arab, thinly veiled “anti-terrorist” initiatives that Shrub’s administration was ratcheting up after successfully getting the left to support The Patriot Act, which enshrined surveillance at a level that had never been tried before.

Anyway, the author then revealed that her grandmother had been sent to Internment camps in the 1940s in the US and her dad had been born there.

TLDR;racism overrides all rationality. If Japanese Americans who were interned as villains during WWII 100% due to pure racism can’t understand that scapegoating a minority group only leads to bad things, then the broader public has no hope.

The government has been conditioned to give away control so much due to decades of corporate lobbying, spectacular they make a jump probably for social reasons without understanding the technological and economic underlying drivers. I’m sure a $500/HR big 4 consultant will provide them a slide on it in 20 years.

This next two years of “FO” realizations for the FA crowd will bring me no pleasure. Unfortunately we’re past the point of return now in participative democracy due to a menially literate population that has had the capacity for rational and forethought drowned out for 3+ generations.

Time, yet again history, to teach people lessons the same, hard way. 😔

1/1/27 calls on home cremation kit producers

Shirley it’s redundant when they have the blind US Justice system™ to hold all accountable equally

You can’t triple stamp a double stamp, you can’t triple stamp a double stamp!

Privatize education. Get stock in some for-profits your shit friends own like devos, declare everyone else terrorist or on your watch listz watch “woke” chaos, award your new for profits gov contracts. And that’s just education.

Planned parenthood? Immigrant support orgs? The “wrong” religious orgs(while you conveniently get kick backs from those allowed to be in favor)…

It’s not that hard to solve the equation here, it’s simple corruption, destruction of opposition targets, retribution, and delivering your masses the lion matinee they voted for. Like every authoritarian ever.

Screw indeed

Medically necessary mandatory with those psychos. If you don’t get to control whether or not to have a child, imagine what else women will not get to choose. 18 men register for selective service, and women will select which “service” they can do for their country, Botox, perma-spraytan, or augmentation. Patriot Points will be determined for those who refuse, holding camps and deportation await. A glorious future.

Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

Is this a platform pun? It’s perfect if so.

For my child to participate in elementary school, and not be left out of comouter-based learning, I have to approve of her using a chromebook which is doing exactly what I’m sure we can all imagine with future marketable data sources: building profiles.

“…and when they were 7 they liked…” “Try the color red, they used to prefer than, might be a good nostalgic pitch…”

It’s an excellent point–for those who live without memory, the mistakes of the past are bound to be repeated frequently. It’s why the focus on reporting “now” in the news is so destructive…a random car accident death in the grand scheme of things is much less important than a local city council decision but “if it bleeds it leads”. Combined with consolidation of media ownership (lack of diversity and voice), especially including corporate music dominance in publishing and distribution, is the death knell of protest, change and democratic participation.

The fact the youth of today mostly feel they only have a voice through Zuckerfuck and data scraping IG/FB OR Chinese state sponsored manipulation and data scraping Bytedance/TT certainly answers Ops question as to where the protest music is…

You just need to buy the North America Animal Recognition AI subscription and this wouldn’t be an issue plebs, it will stop for 28 out of 139 mammals!

“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”

Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing new methods of enshittification to harvest user data

Literally the line, from the guy, in the movie. It spawned a sequel you may have heard of that then played it up as it was such a perfectly ominous line.

The original is where he delivers the line and then crashes through the police station fam.

The same dude whose company is suing to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional.

Super healthy.

Caught me completely by obvious
