It's me! Still bi, still married. Still white and anti-whiteness (feel free to ask about that). Originally this was an alt account, then my main instance went down. Idk.
Header: still from "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" where Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) says, "Run, Piggy, Run!" (She's attacking a police station.)
Avi: a high-contrast edited selfie where my face is covered by a two-tone blue scarf, large amber sunglasses, and a dark blue tuque.

I gotta say, at this point in time, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is starting to look like a pretty good basis for a system of government.

@alice @dgar Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords vs. autonomous collective with rotating leadership:

Why not both?

Is it possible to teach an introvert to be an extrovert (if they were presumably motivated to change) ? Would it be possible to transform extroverts into introverts through some program of calming and conditioning?

    Still experience an insufficient number of girls kissing me on the face. There are sapphic supply chain problems in my area. I am at risk of a gay gap in the girl-kisses race. If this is not addressed, I will experience lesbian languishing as my queerness fails to be quenched! 😭

    Watching "The Imperial Age" I totally fell into the wiki rabbit hole of Ming Dynasty emperors and this guy deserves special mention.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiajing_Emperor

    Jia Jing Emperor didn't give audience for 25 years, basically did nothing but bask in sex (with minors no less), was so cruel that his own palace maids tried to assassinate him, and somehow the system of ministers and eunuchs still held that dynasty together for another 100 years before the Manchurian Qing dynasty came and cleaned that crap up.

    Political systems don't fail in a day. Even under the most inept leadership, it can take time, but no doubt it will happen.

    Truth Sandwich blocked me for calling him a little baby.

    I don't know what else to call it when I link to a site, and someone says "what site?" and I link to the post where I linked to a site, and they're like, "that's just a link to your post"

    Anyway I'm sorry I couldn't keep him going longer. Someone else is going to have to distract him from bothering lefties now.

    Unsurprisingly "predictive policing" software fails to predict crimes but does reliably send cops into Black and brown neighborhoods.

    So much of "policing tools" is a grift, it turns out. The data behind the non-lethality of tasers is suspect. The science behind accepted forensic science e.g. fingerprints is far from solid. Cops' claims about preventing or solving crimes are exaggerated. It's fakery all the way down.

    Fascinating interview with Penn & Teller in Rolling Stone, where they talk about how magic can distort a person's sense of reality, and how they now understand that it's a pretty dangerous thing to do if taken too far.

    @SallyStrange@autonomous.zone avatar

    @gilhova gee maybe if Mr. Teller and Mr. Penn had listened to the early critiques from leftists about their politics they could have avoided making this "mistake" of treating a sexist racist douchebag as if he were a respectable businessman

    @jdm2 Thanks! I've never heard of yours, except for Frankie Ruiz. I bet they're awesome tho. Something to check out.

    There's a Calle 13 song, the chorus goes "No hay nadie como tú" and it's almost like it's made to be an Español teaching song. I should learn it all the way :)

    If we look for it, we can still find sanity out in the wild.

    @jd so just to be clear: you're saying cruelty and disrespect for other cultures are the province of the insane?

    SallyStrange,
    @SallyStrange@autonomous.zone avatar

    @jd You said you found sanity in the wild. This is what you're characterizing as sanity:
    1 Empathy for the Troubled
    2 Respect for our Laws and the Rights of our Neighbours
    3 Consideration for others, Regardless of Politics, Religion, Gender or Race
    4 Appreciation for what we Are and have as Canadians

    So it's insane people who lack empathy, consideration, and appreciation. That's insanity to you.

    On Feinstein: I understand people’s concerns over ageism and, more importantly, how sexism and racism might shape criticism of older women or people of color in positions of power. However, centering personal accomplishment, no matter how impressive, is never the way forward. 1/

    On this, the day of Dianne Feinstein's death, let us not forget her contempt for young climate activists, but let us also not forget that in the 1980s, she put a lot of effort into flying the confederate flag over San Francisco.

    Fuck all politicians.
