Unfortunately, they can and do run universities exactly this way.

They're also avoiding looking at the dangers to themselves. "The flu," and not just the COVID-19 variants, can and does wreck immune systems when it doesn't directly disable or kill people, and there are plenty of other things that could make people more vulnerable than they want to believe.

So would treating air. We didn't used to treat sewage. Pairing these is dangerously close to saying people in power have some responsibility to provide a safe environment. They've made it very clear that they will frustrate any measures to do so, sometimes by sending to cops the funds so allocated.

Ask Algerians what they think about the guillotine.

Hint: a killing tool designed for throughput and not for accuracy or precision has so many more bad uses than good ones that it's a REALLY bad idea to build it.

It's hard to imagine how an ionized manufacturing plant could function at all.

"Greens" as they exist in NZ are doing some extremely dumb shit, to include their opposition to nuclear energy, which just happens to be the only clean form humanity has devised thus far. It's also abundant, and so makes a post-scarcity anything even possible.

Good thing I'm in neither of those places.

I focus my efforts on doing mutual aid and building dual power in that process. It feels really great to make things happen instead of playing Lucy with the football via electoralism. That latter is exhausting and depressing.

You are under the misapprehension that I was for an embarrassingly large fraction of my life, and that is that substantive change for the better can occur through Proper Channels. Proper Channels are all finely tuned to prevent such change while grinding you to a paste. It's what they're there to do

Take it from a doctor who is VERY informed and just read this thread. It may very well save your life/quality of life, your loved ones’ lives, and anyone within shared breathing distance from you. 😷

I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

WEAR A MASK. 😷
CLEAN THE AIR.
Multiple Covid infections do not give you immunity.
The Covid vax does not give you immunity, you can still get Covid vaxxed.
Get informed and protect people in your charge.

There’s 6 years worth of research about how debilitating Covid is. It’s just embarrassing now.

What's happening is that the Call of Duty series was always for this, only you weren't supposed to care because it was about doing it to faceless foreigners. Foucault's Boomerang has entered the chat.

Do you have a specific time in mind, or even a vague memory, of a time when it was unambiguously a compliment?

I'm still taken aback, if not surprised, by the degree to which management types--the ones that say shit like this--find reality to be existentially threatening.

In important senses, they're correct. That's what happens when your position in the hierarchy and the hierarchy itself is based on lies.

At what point does AnPrim (or AnCap) stop being treated as a (correctable, presumably) mistake? For me, it's right quick because ignorance is a choice.

I have the entire series. It's really something.

When was that?

It had to be before the 1980s because at that time and frankly all the time since, advice at least this bad has been pervasive, i.e. a fella, going by the norms and the scripts that the culture broadcast 24/7/366, would do stuff at least this bad.

As someone who used to think of political participation only in terms of elections, as you are appearing to do now, I empathize. Now that my politics have expanded, I get back to my question: what's being done NOW to show her she can't do this NOW?
October 11, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Elections are...well, let's leave those aside for the moment because this isn't the moment they're being held. What's happening to get it across to Hochul right this minute that that's unacceptable?

Ezra Klein was always a fascist. Maybe look into his employment history just a little closer.
