Genuinely believe that cops have become a service elite—a hereditary caste w special legal priviliges and status—like samurai or boyars or Qing bannermen
Ordinary regular poor people trying to live their lives and raise their children: Can we get a $25k loan from the city to use as a down payment on a home in a nice neighborhood?
Governments: Absolutely not
Cops making about $75k/yr base: Can we
Governments: YES AND YOUR LOAN IS FULLY FORGIVABLE

Genuinely a huge problem tbh. I've been noticing it for months as I like to show the baby nature videos, and so much of it is AI generated garbage. Just absolute arseholes flooding the platform with shit.

More than 20% of videos shown to new YouTube users are ‘AI slop’, study finds
Low-quality AI-generated content is now saturating social media – and generating about $117m a year, data shows
More than 20% of the videos that YouTube’s algorithm shows to new users are “AI slop” – low-quality AI-generated content designed to farm views, research has found.
The video-editing company Kapwing surveyed 15,000 of the world’s most popular YouTube channels – the top 100 in every country – and found that 278 of them contain only AI slop. Continue reading...

after interview with the vampire, we watched the 1 season of mayfair witches available on netflix. it was. so. fucking. dull. none of the characters had any life to them. they were just so boring. lifeless. the story had nothing for us to root for.
so skipped season 2 to watch talamasca.

As well as being perfect for those starting out in film photography, our Kentmere films are also a great option for anyone looking for a high quality yet budget friendly black and white film.

I'm going to be an asshole and say if you look up the Donner Party history through an indigenous lens it's less a tragedy and more a story of white colonialists getting what they deserved. Wel mel ti/ washoe oral history says they tried to feed them but they shot at them.
The Donner party tragedy, while obviously a tragedy, also ginned up sympathies for settlers in a time of westward colonialism and genocide of Native Americans.
Based on John Sinclair's journal, Dec 26, 1846 was the day starving members of the Donner Party chose "either to die, or preserve life by eating the bodies of the dead; slowly and reluctantly they adopted the latter alternative." t.co/L40lvPBopW

btw gay marriage was not popular when cameron/clegg legalised it.
self-id is more popular, right now, than gay marriage was when the tories legalised it.
labour's anti-trans policies aren't based on polling or voters they're based on @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and streeting's christian beliefs

labour did homophobic 'civil partnerships' instead of gay marriage bcos blair let his religion get in the way of smart politics. cameron then completely undercut labour
streeting and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social are pushing transphobia bcos they let their religion get in the way of smart politics

...and this is going to happen again. badenoch is the last of the 'crazy' tories and once she's gone they'll go back to 'moderate is how to win' and they'll push self-id like may did.
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is setting labour up for failure in the same way blair did with 'civil partnerships'.
