I think of choices behind that programming, though, and of choices behind the [lack of] record-keeping in the first Trump administration’s family separations.

Congress has let them murder civilians eight ways to Sunday since they took office a year ago with not a single meaningful guardrail

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

like I know there’s no point in trying to apply logic here but can you imagine any other institution besides the carceral system where you could just handwave away dozens of suspicious deaths that happened on your watch and not be shut down immediately for a full investigation

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

I think it’s also partly faulty logic that’s blossoming everywhere, noisomely, in which it’s imagined that only „all“ statements are ever being made. „I don’t think your statement about that all Qs are q is true.“ „OH, so you claim that NO Qs are q!“ Well, nooooo….

Women are *Imperfect*. Men are *Promising*.

It's the law.

Which is to say, it's been legislated and imposed.
