The equation is simple: you can’t afford healthcare anymore because ICE agents are making 6-figure salaries and $50k signing bonuses. The money is not marked for life, liberty or happiness. It is set aside for state suppression.

In celebration of me quitting my retail job for tattooing, I’m giving all TAG members $50 off my hourly rate for the months of Feb & March!

That’s $100/hr for any tattoo, regardless of size or location. Just bring your TAG membership card (expired is okay) ☺️

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

Annihilation, but I’ve never seen the movie I just think the books would be better adapted to Evangelion-style animation instead of live-action
we often talk about “what anime would you adapt into a movie” but here is a reverse: what movies would you adapt into an anime?

no longer content to just take your money, a handful of oligarchs, many of them immigrants to these shores, are now taking whats left of your freedom and political power. the very idea that you might have a say in your local government or sit unmolested in your home is offensive to them

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

Not to dissuade folks from leaving passionate long messages about the importance of the human condition here but they 100% won't care about why, ethically, they shouldn't use AI. Instead I would just tell them you'll never spend money on their shit again or at least add it into ur response somewhere
