I've talked about it before but Bethesda Fallout LOVES the past and it sucks. Everything important comes from before the war and everything afterwards is forever stuck. The player character in 4 is from before the War. In the show roughly 3/4ths of the named characters are, in some way, Pre-war.
Also obligatory “Bethesda can't let go of the past in their franchise where the most flawed characters are obsessed with recreating an imagined past”

Like what is the difference between a robot that will do your dishes and just a solid dishwasher appliance. Why wouldn't the ideal assistant robot be like a box on tank treads with a single arm that could pick up clothes. They WANT the humanoid form they can bark orders at.

Ever since someone pointed out that the reason billionaires are so obsessed with the concept of the humanoid personal helper robot is that they really really want to own slaves, I simply can not unsee it.
MUSK, in Riyadh:

"My prediction, actually, for humanoid robots is that ultimately they will be tens of billions. I think everyone will want to have their personal robot. You can think of it like, as though you had your own personal C-3POor R2-D2. But
even better.

abolishing ICE is the minimum.

one's soul does not recover from the abject depravity that ICE agents commit, that is a stain that will never come out, and it's a stain that was willingly opted into.
"Ice has become Trump’s private militia. It must be abolished"

It's become fashionable for even progressive politicians to diss the 'Abolish ICE' movement. I make the political and moral case for abolition in my latest for @GuardianUS, with receipts:

"Hey we should stop killing children"

MSM every fucking time: "Wow you're really doubling down on this huh? You really want to commit to that message? You know people are gonna call you antisemitic right. I mean we're not saying it but SOME will accuse you of being antisemitic for this."
The interview comes on the heels of intensified scrutiny of Ms. Rachel, who has been accused of antisemitism by some online critics who take issue with her posts about Palestinian children.
Ms. Rachel doubles down support for children in Gaza
“It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering,” the YouTube educator said in a recent interview with Zeteo.

EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST KILLING PALESTINIANS, YOU'RE SAYING IT IS JEWISH TO MURDER

*THAT* IS THE ANTISEMITISM
STOP SUGGESTING THAT IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST MURDERING CHILDREN

YOU'RE LITERALLY PROPOSING THAT IT IS A JEWISH THING TO KILL KIDS

IT'S FUCKING ANTI-SEMITIC, YOU JERKS

A reminder that the word 'terrorism' has no value. It is selectively applied to different people and groups and places, by the US government, and the West more broadly, based on self interest and convenience. (Until a few months ago, the US had a multi-million-dollar bounty on al-Sharaa's head.)
The White House and Trump have confirmed that Trump plans to meet tomorrow in Saudi Arabia with President Ahmed al-Sharaa of Syria.

I wish I didn't have to make this, but we really could use some help right now. Not only was our car totaled today, we're being kicked out of place. Me, Bloops, our 2 kids, and our animals. I'm unemployed and we are scared. Anything you can donate would mean the world to us..

Never talk to the police!

Cops act friendly to get you comfortable and talking - not to help you, but in hopes you'll incriminate yourself. No good!

The less you say, the harder it is for them to win in court.

Stopped by 12? Invoke the 5th - and lawyer up - fast!

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

"It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift" the fuck are you talking about man. Like a bribe isn't a bribe unless the bribee is like "haha I love being bribed."

Purely engaging with the thought experiment, if I catch my friend holding people in their basement, they get to have a little basement time themselves, as a treat.

If you found out a person in your group of friends was torturing and starving people in their basement with the money you gave them, would you continue associating with them and giving them money? Or would you turn them in to the authorities?

This is a thought exercise unrelated to current events.
