Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

So many Judge Dredd movies with Karl Urban. A Kelvinverse Star Trek film. The last DCU film with Batfleck and SuperCavill vs. Darkseid. And they would release the Batgirl movie.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Hell, no.
Aside from hackability, here's why this is a VERY bad idea:
A cop (or cop impersonator) pulls you over, asks to see ID.
You unlock your phone to access it and show it to them.
They grab your unlocked phone and can now browse through it at will.

This is how rape culture and a patriarchy works. The loudest, most extroverted men get deference from the ones who prefer to avoid conflict and want to stay in the good graces of the bully. And the consequence is whatever the bullies want to do to women, it’s allowed through complicit silence.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.
