It’s astounding to me. It’s like people don’t realize the stranglehold the police have on democratic cities and states. They are almost always conservative and are antagonistic to the elected officials with an attitude of “If you don’t let us do what we want, we won’t protect you when you need it,” and it seems like, for the most part, that’s enough to scare democrat elected officials into stepping in line with whatever the police force wants.

I mean, on January 6th, cops pretty much just let a bunch of violent thugs with guns walk up on Washington State Governor Jay Inslee. And yet that dumb piece of shit hasn’t fucking gone balls-to-the-wall on reigning in the cops in his fucking state. The cops here would let right wing thugs kill him, and he still supports them. Democrats are god damned pussies.

I’m not sure, although I’m fairly sure it’s from a parody, and not the real film. So you’re on the right track!

Indeed, so sad when it was cancelled. At least we still have Joe! And his new comedy special is free on Youtube.

Also, Joe is connected to so many cool people (many of them also named Joe) like Joe Bennett, who drew the art for Joe’s bathroom book.

Joe Bennett is one of two creators of Scavenger’s Reign, which I am about halfway through the currently released episodes and it is so good and the art is so amazing. Really reminiscent of the art of Moebius. Nice to see some high quality animation that isn’t in faux-anime style. The original animation that inspired it is also on YouTube and is a little closer to Joe Bennett’s natural style, as seen in Joe Pera’s bathroom book.

The Wired article was reprinted from its original version on pluralistic.net, which is Cory Doctorow’s website.

Reminds me of the episode of Joe Pera Talks with You where he talks with the guy who pours liquids professionally for television commercials.

You have secret super powers that allow you to shapeshift and be the “spitting image” of anyone else, but it literally requires you to essentially spit slimy goo out of your mouth to cover yourself with to make it work.

Holly brings three decades of invaluable experience in nonprofit management, having served as a consultant, director of development, executive director, and board member for numerous organizations. Notably, she founded the nonprofit organization Artists United, dedicated to empowering individual artists and fostering collaboration across artistic disciplines for the collective good. Additionally, Holly served as the Executive Director of the BioBricks Foundation, an international, open-source biotechnology nonprofit.

I guess her actual career credentials don’t matter?

No wonder so many women consider tech spaces inhospitable to them.

I rarely see the same cynicism applied to men in tech who believe dumb shit like trickle-down economics.

Interesting stuff! I’d say the main difference is children are able to be controlled, while we’re dealing with adults who are cunning and willing to stop at nothing to change the system to benefit them and only them. In other words, their Extinction Bursts are capable of being effective, and Just Doing It Harder may work. Especially when “doing it harder” is cheating the system.
