By design, infringements on privacy are irrevocable, both on the individual level (unqualified retaining of private info) and policies of access to people's privacy (historically it's far harder to regain privacy rights once revoked).

I'm so grateful for you. Thanks for keeping lights on all this.

I loved your father's lecture on this story. It created a cascade of myths about the human mind. (Heck, I think I still have the .mp3s!)

You can make any Star Trek series you like. Premise, mission, characters, GO. *high 5*

You are indeed Hovind's best gamble to stay relevant beyond the 2008-era YouTube atheism wars; barring of course your self-built self-respect and busy schedule making the world luminous.

"I loved being you. Every second of it. Oh, how you burned like a sun; like a whole screaming world on fire. I remember that feeling, and I always will. And I will always miss it."

I... just...

I think definitely Enterprise. Besides the colonialism, there's explicit gender policing, from "You should smile more, woman who works for me!" to "Hahahaha you did something that women usually do I'M NEVER GOING TO STOP MOCKING YOU NOW" to "Other cultures should tone it down for my comfort".

[Andor spoilers]
Agreed, vehemently! But: I can't fathom a decision to make an Andor finale in mid-2025 that wasn't ALL about the dissolution of the Senate. After the s02e08 speech that was the only thing needed to connect present and future in a final warning.

Reminds me of a nicer version of the goblet Worf's son made him!

I'm from Vancouver. I was dismayed when this new mayor resolved to "solve" homeless suffering with more cops and disappearances. The numbers showed we were really helping people by guiding them out of addiction, but gentrified snubbing of undesirables, fuelled by correlations of race, won. Now this.

If there's no such thing as due process, there's no such thing as a citizen, and there's no such thing as a crime. You are whatever the nearest cop says you are, sometimes even as a function of your attitude, skin colour, or in the case of vulnerable women willingness to submit to sexual favours.

THAT WAS THREE POSTS WORTH OF ONE SENTENCE. Mallinson you weirdo badass weirdo you.

Anyhow, my new essay is about how any external comm about a service provided has the responsibility to be accessible and easily understood by every person it serves.

And yet I sometimes miss being a code to unlock.

it must therefore be said that existence is entailed in the concept of that thing, such that insofar as its existence is denied, the internal possibility of that thing is rejected (B624/5)"

"Kant offered a possible objection to his response, that involves what would be the only conceivable case in which the contradiction might hold is a hypothetical being (which, Kant admits, we are justified in believing might exist) which contains all reality....

I was livid with the famous atheists who took on an anti-feminism crusade in 2011. After that it legitimised a lot of theist contentions that atheism is just more patriarchal colonialism, and on one hand we absolutely have to unpack that, and on the other hand I was like "You are embarrassing us!!"
