the stancil saga on here makes the entire mn situation look like some ridiculous chaz/chop or occupy activist drama bullshit where it can just be safely ignored by anyone who isn't part of the protesting fandom
Also: the very normal, non-radical, everyday people who make up 95% of rapid response in MN will never, ever agree to some kind of code of omerta around random arson. Dads standing in front of schools do not want to turn their cameras off when someone lights the neighborhood on fire.
If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

Just ask the Yamato and the Odyssey!
I forget who actually said it, but around the TNG era one of the writers said something like "We assume all the other starships out there are having the same kinds of crazy adventures every week" and I always liked that thought.

you turn everything into a joke and a meme and you can get people who weren't born bad to do this shit. how much shit is just a joke and a meme now? all of existence? oh
The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Trumpism has permanently shattered my belief that voters know what is best for them, and thus my faith in the entire foundation of democracy. What do you do when you can't trust people not to punch the self-destruct button?

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Ladyhawke soundtrack is legendary
Ladyhawke. Legend. The Last Unicorn. Labyrinth. The Green Knight. A Knight's Tale. Arguably Reign of Fire. The Neverending Story. Excalibur. The Dark Crystal. The Princess Bride. Clash of the Titans.

...those are just off the top of my head
Without saying Lord of the Rings, name a fantasy film.

I suspect that if it happens, the response will be like what happens when Trump does things that should logically crash the markets, but instead crash nothing

In the places where acknowledging reality would hurt too much, everyone will agree to ignore reality for as long as they can. Coyote time.
i mean i think a world where the US genuinely break NATO and launch an invasion of Greenland looks so alien to us that we will not be able to understand it
The thing I think folks struggle to appreciate with this stuff tho is however hard it is to wean Europe off US tech is *at least as hard* as it will be for US tech to get back into Europe after that type of transition kicks into high gear

While the human form is brilliant, it’s ultimately limited.

The real future of robotics lies in the permission to move beyond our own biological constraints and optimize.

Note, we didn't achieve supersonic flight by mimicking the flapping of wings.

Ancient Greece beyond myths, marble statues and temples: an everyday craftsman. The terracotta shows a carpenter at work with a bow-saw - a timeless image of human creativity and craftsmanship.

From Boeotia, Greece, late 6th/early 5th century BC

The first big AI early adopter I met previously made slop for a living. Basically the day gpt 3 dropped or whatever changed their life forever.
Yeah and like - clearly, there are some major social media networks that will richly reward a high volume of slop. They did it before AI got big, they still do it without AI (video reacting to video, video that's just a 10-year-old twitter post with a reaction gif etc).

sitting around killing time doing pointless shit is great and to return to it we would have to destroy most of the modern internet and phone
Like, are any material conditions, no matter how good, going to fix whatever mental condition this is?

I feel like in the years since then we've only learned that yeah, a lot of people would be ok with a degraded hellscape ending to all human history if it meant their enemies suffer even slightly.
