that's not the point of the post it's not about trying to access media it's about the inability to own anything and how we've become nothing but conduits for data mines and even the slop that's supposed to pacify us is worthless
Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.
I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Comparisons with the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans are well placed, but I'm struck by a distinction
The War Relocation Authority, sensing pushback, went out of its way to paint these camps as humane (they weren't!)
Trump and his ghouls appears to almost revel in the inhumanity of it all

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

Major news:
Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.
It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"
I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.
Shameful.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.
