Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth.

Is it about time that someone told @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social that their "Tourmaline stone axe" is actually made of cheese?

in the mornings the cat wants to cuddle very badly, and when indulged, he purrs louder and harder than during any other cuddle of the day. it is very hard to be alone at night and he is very brave

Bill Kristol is quoting Mao
Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

in the process of rediscovering moral philosophy that America is going through, I think we’ve just encountered the unity of the virtues: Alex Pretti was brave because he was kind, and the ICE agents are cruel because they’re cowardly.

Generated code = soulless slop, horrifying
Hand written artisanal code that creates a better queue process so health insurance review doctors who lost their right to practice real medicine deny even more life saving procedures per second = moral, upstanding, representative of the human spirit

Someone should create a video that juxtaposes footage of ICE roundups in MPLS (and the neighborly pushback) with Mr. Rogers singing "Won't you be my neighbor." Noteworthy that "won't you report on your neighbor so we can deport him and his 5 year old child" was not a Mr. Rogers lyric.
