my harasser neighbor called the cops because another neighbor played on their stereo the song he was poorly singing/playing on the guitar. cops showed up & had to explain to him, repeatedly, that that’s not harassment. the song? karma police

This was before I read about Kimmel.

Was just telling a friend this stuff is just the latest excuse. We could debate whether it's appropriate for a teacher to publicly celebrate someone's death, but they're going to persecute people for far less anyway. They already have been. Look at speech re: Gaza. Then I opened Bsky and saw this.

I’m sorry, “Didn’t participate in a moment of silence”? What in the authoritarian state is happening.

Oh great. And here I was worried about the discourse and spin coming from this...

NEW: “Minutes after right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at an event in Utah on Wednesday, far-right influencers and extremist communities lit up social media with calls for violence against the left.” @davidgilbert.bsky.social reports www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

This is illustrated really well in the last South Park episode, where ChatGPT agreed with and encouraged every whimsical idea Randy had, until he had destroyed his business and farm. Only apply that same chipper, "constructive" attitude to self-harm.

Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic. But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.

Remember this - Rye.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.”

I think it has to be understood that Republicans see vulnerable people as "waste" and that view frames much of their messaging around how they think public money should be spent.

I don't know why Disney marketing doesn't just turn off comments - where they can - on social media posts or videos for any Star Wars, Marvel, or other movies or series that feature women or diverse casts. Allow sharing so people can spread their excitement. The rest just quickly become a cesspool.

Did anyone else tense up at the end expecting him to be shot with a rubber bullet like the Australian reporter was?

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I ran into the guitarist for Def Leppard as I was leaving a Panera. Stopped and got a quick picture with him. This was especially amusing cause he's been my wife's major crush since the mid 80s.

Some great points. Hey I think we should look at how other major corporations are benefiting too.

Russ Vought leaves the door open to terminating Musk's government contracts: "We recognize that Elon benefits from, and his companies benefit from, the taxpayer dollars ... we're trying to put together the best bill for the American people as we possibly can."

Can everyone else get off #DisneyPlus for a bit? I wanna watch something.

Yeah it's rough. Our audio has been fine, but it's been straight up freezing up multiple times during critical, tense moments. It finally just showed an error just now.

He came to this “realization” in 2017 and then spent the following several months attempting to repeal the ACA.

This is a post about how media narratives are shaped, especially by business interests.

Look all I’m going to say is that for a movie that was “pretty blatantly” about Vietnam essentially no one noticed or mentioned it for three decades as one of the most popular movies on earth, including the creator. As a fairy tale it can absorb a lot of interpretations and still this one was absent

I have some comments ready, but I'm tempted to throw them out and just read Nemik's Manifesto.

Can't watch #Andor right away tonight. Our school board suspended its DEI policies earlier this month without public input, so 113 people have signed up to speak out on it at tonight's meeting. Including me. Can't watch the show about fighting fascism. Too busy fighting actual fascism.

Holy crap, the student speakers are on fire. The kids are giving me hope.
