Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are on the Muppet Show tonight

Content warning: ICE, racism, police brutality

An extremely simple syllogism, for which the evidence is ample and has been easily available for over a decade:
ICE : white people in Minneapolis ::
regular police : Black people everywhere in America
If you're saying "Abolish ICE" right now (as you should be) but you're hesitant to say "Abolish the police" then you're okay with the brutality as long as it's reinforcing the racial hierarchy, and that's not a good look.
I understand that "Abolish the police" is a scary thing to think about if *your* experience has been that they keep you safe, but recognize how much of that is myth vs reality, e.g. have you ever personally had a positive interaction with police, or do those all happen in stories? Also, even if they do keep you safe, is it worth it if the cost is brutality to the marginalized? (No, it's not.)
At minimum we can see the following behaviors on both sides of the syllogism:
- retaliation for legally "protected" defiance or even just observation
- random killings, with mostly-nonexistent repercussions for the officers involved
- regular widespread harassment & surveillance
-more that I don't have time to list right now. Feel free to reply with your own examples.

Sometimes I feel that I could have my introduction much better. So I'll leave another piece here, and maybe one day I'll be able to find it again and use somewhere…
I'm a radical. I believe that every human has a right to dignity in life. Yes, even these people who allegedly "are too lazy to work".
I believe that everyone deserves safety, that nobody should be cold or starve, that everybody should be able to use a toilet or wash themselves, have access to healthcare and public transportation.
I think that restricting access to drinking water and toilets is a crime against humanity. The latter is also plain stupid, because it only leads to people using other places as toilets.
I'm so tired of the postsoviet labor cult (a kind of Polish thing). Seeing labor as a value in itself. Everyone must work, and it doesn't matter whether the work is actually beneficial, or outright harmful.
And last of all, I can't tolerate smokers. There is no excuse to harm yourself and everyone around you, just to satisfy your stupid addiction. And I'm also talking of all the random people who breathe all the toxins because smokers think they deserve to smoke everywhere, all the time.

My kid's logged back into Animal Crossing and has been switching around some villagers and such. There are entire islands that people playing the game have set up as clothing shops, huge warehouses of sets of clothes everywhere, that you find and fly to via a code. It's absolutely wild

Kae you may know from his #Grammy nomination last year, his work with #BadBadNotGood, and his #TorontoJazzFest Emerging Artist award he couldn't accept in person as he was munching octopus on a beach in #Barcelona at the time, so sent…
Nolan Murphy is well known to #QueenWest fans, ubiquitous sous/bone/vibes/tymp/perc/drum sub in a spectrum of genres, founder/leader/arranger of @… seen at street fests and brass events everywhere, also winner of Emerging Artist by the City of #OwenSound and left #UofT Jazz when they nix'd him pursuing Jazz Tuba, the idiots, what the hell sort of college says tuba isn't 'proper jazz'? Assholes. But I digress…
Me, last third of the trio, you know. I'm just me.
The audience at #JohnnyGs detected a pattern in both surname and phenotypes … 🤣

Doea anyone know of any organizations in the greater Seattle area working to eliminate, or at least oppose the further proliferation of, unnecessary urban lighting? One of my favorite places to go in the city at night is now full of street lights. The whole reason I loved it is that it was *dark* and you could look out across the water without glare everywhere.
Not every beachfront bike path needs to be lit up like a sports stadium. It's a waste of electricity, contributes to light…

If ICE gave even half a damn about actual safety, they’d have backed off for a few days to let things cool. Instead, they’re coming on hotter than ever. Just everywhere. Doubling down.
They’re casing daycares now, for god’s sake. I know personally of at least one preschool teacher who was abducted.

Madison Bikes sent me an email about winter biking that said:
"Please at least have a studded front tire, especially if you bike on streets. Traction and control are well worth the $50 investment."
So I replied and asked where the heck they are seeing studded tires for $50 USD because they are twice that price everywhere I look.

Donald Trump didn't say he wanted to fix elections everywhere out of some altruistic vision of a more free, more democratic society.
He said he wanted to take over the voting in at least 15 places.
We know that means he is targeting the specific cities, counties, and districts that saved American democracy in 2020 and that could destroy Republican majorities in November.
This is why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County.
They are already on the ground,
already …

Jones and Gravenberch, playing not necessarily as double pivots, but certainly playing as a reserved tandem… that’s working. Both having a good game (Jones has been incredible all season!)
Wirtz looks like he’s really figured out the speed of the league. Ascendant, these last several games. I’ve been trying to figure out his movement. He’s everywhere, similar to Jones in the back.
