41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

A death cult uses a torture device as its main symbol, conducts ritualistic cannibalism on its holy day and prays for the end times to arrive. Any questions?

The debate around whether Star Wars should be preserved in amber by Disney or tinkered with by Lucas, released in a version which goes against Lucas's wishes or hidden away from future generations, misses the most inviting possibility: that we sieze the chance to destroy Star Wars once and for all

Come to think of it, Pete Hegseth just admitted openly that they're committing extrajudicial murders in international waters partly in order to please MAGA influencers that want retribution for political attacks on Pete Hegseth:

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-

THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:

Can Bernie please explain what the exit strategy was for the shutdown fight? Was the plan to refuse to vote for the CR no matter how long it took? I have yet to hear anyone explain how we were getting Republicans to vote for the ACA subsidies.

The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.

It's clear you care about this a lot, but you deeply misunderstand why I'm talking about this.
I came up in ag as a farm worker. I AM one of the minority of farmers who aren't millionaires. I have to rent land.
And knowing *I'm in the minority* is super helpful for navigating the ag sector.

Please rethink speaking for all of us in sweeping ways. I've never made more than $17/hr farming, don't own any land & live in an area surrounded by farms of all colors & economic backgrounds. Our farmer's market farmers don't fit your mold-many are Amish & others don't own the land they farm on.
