May I present to you, our new King.

This comic goes over the political history of technology in the workforce, showing that even automation to reduce manual labor was introduced as class warfare against the laborers, and that sabotage, protests and legal action were needed to preserve worker's rights.

San Antonio police kill Melissa Perez in her own home during mental health crisis

ragnell,

@lazysupper @stopthatgirl7 There is no union except the police union that can manage to negotiate for a contract where they CANNOT fire you if you do illegal shit.

That's why the police union is not comparable to any worker's union. It is something else.

Last Boost: They put razorwire in the water crossings and are pushing children into the water.

Oh, and they are not allowed to give migrants water.

Some jackass blames "Biden's dangerous open border policies" which is fucked up since Biden's border isn't even as open as Bluesky's beta.

ragnell,

They are defending it with "the raxorwire is to stop smugglers" but smugglers are also human beings and that's not a crime that should carry a sentence of bleeding out, drowning or dying of heat exhaustion/thirst.

ragnell,

"The smugglers don't care about the migrants, but we do" is a direct quote from the assholes who put razorwire down and banned giving water to migrants.

Of course.

Y'know how I like nuance and am skeptical of simple narratives?

Well, I have a bugbear regarding the discussion on pedestrian fatalities in the US.

To start this thread, I'd like to think I have an unbiased perspective here. I don't drive a very large vehicle, I loathe the arms race in vehicle size, and I welcome all efforts to reduce car-dependence and make our streets safer for all.

But... every discussion I listen to on this topic is real handwavey on the impacts of distracted driving.

So there IS a fediverse wiki out there.

https://joinfediverse.wiki/Main_Page

ragnell,

@FinalOverdrive We'll see. We do need a resource to explain all the services on the Fediverse.

Anyone else sick of hearing that sacrificing our privacy is the natural and fair compromise we make when we go online?

what's a concept (for a story, a show, a product, a song, a toy, whatever you want) that sounds mid on paper but actually is great in practice?

Don't deliberately try to make something great sound mid, it has to be something that legitimately would sound mid to somebody being told about it who has never seen/experienced it.

Bonus points if you explain why it "works" in practice better than on paper

ragnell,

@ami_angelwings Community. "A study group at a community college" sounds pretty boring but they upped the sitcom wackiness so much that it appealed to a lot of people.

CT state troopers entered up to 60K fake tickets, issued to imaginary white people, to game a database designed to ferret out racial profiling. (And didn't enter real tickets issued to Black people.) One in 4 troopers were doing it. And it seems like nobody is being punished for this crime.

ragnell,

@JoshuaHolland How can you reform people who go out of their way to resist reform?

So Bluesky censors this pic for nudity.

ragnell,

@stavvers @vagina_museum I hate hate hate that the comics community has settled on Bluesky. I'm thinking they're all going to be chased off soon by these sorts of things.

I love watching local news to stay informed that a Pennsylvania man is trafficking in sloths and it's still technically legal but Pennsylvanians are concerned, except this one lady interviewed while rushing to buy a sloth before it's outlawed

ragnell,

@sannewman Pennsylvania is its own little kind of weird, isn't it?
