Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

I like my dad’s version: “You don’t have the brains God gave a turnip.”

I’d be interested in a show with new characters in the same world, sans Joss Whedon. Otherwise, it’s disrespectful to disinter corpses and use them for entertainment.

This is the speech.

It’s a culture of “everything’s a con/grift and the only people who say they don’t play that game are fools or liars.” It’s always existed, but in my lifetime, the acidity and concentration have increased. It has now burned away many pockets that were previously safe.

Total help me sing

Page 261 of economic historian Guido Alfani's book "As God's Among Men," relaying the history of European democracies preserving themselves by banishing the super-rich, from ancient Greece through the Middle Ages. I apologize that I'm unable to type in the text verbatim: I'm on my phone, typing with one finger on the tiny keyboard (meaning: typing is very slow), and I have to go to an appointment now.

Fun fact: for over a thousand years, European societies banished & exiled the super-rich, who were recognized as posing an existential threat to democracy.

Even in the 4thC BCE, Aristotle said the rich would "be placed above the law or they could even become 'the' law."

Bring back banishment?

I resent these AI weirdos using us as human shields against critics.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"

but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

So they’re trying to sell over-50s on the war.

This point isn’t made enough.

Besides, every day since nukes were invented, every nation on earth has lived under nuclear threat.

Does this fool think no one worried about nuclear threats after 9/11?

Jacob King @JacobKinge X.com It's insane to think about the fact that banks made $89 billion in overdraft fees this past year. That's $89 billion they took from people who literally have no money.

Yes. If your approach reduces your capacity to ask “Are we the baddies?” it’s a bad approach.

It’s behind a paywall. But we have realized that a lot of “rare” conditions we thought were rare when we treated them as bad behavior are common when we don’t. Like autism.

I’m aware. And they apparently they at least try to deal with Nazis among them, which is better than most groups now. I’m here for the Furluminati; plus, unlike these fools, they aren’t looking for me to fund what gets them off. Competence and consenting adults ftw.

That is amazing. Truly. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

They can’t do worse than these fools.

You usually have such insight. Disappointing. Not far from people who argue that autism or left-handedness didn’t exist in the old days.

Ah, my mistake. Apologies.

What an odd thing to say. Being deaf/blind obviously doesn’t make one a fool.

Like pizza.

If we could not be weird about all Jews everywhere because the US has partnered with Israel for war on Iran, that’d be great. (To be clear, criticize Israel’s and the US’s governments and paramilitary groups as much as you please.)
