@supernovae The lightbulb was invented by candlelight. Technology is almost never a clean transition from the old thing to the new thing. It’s messy.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

@godpod A god had a human manifestation of himself pretend to die horribly in order to guilt humanity into worshipping him. I’m seeing some major red flags in this relationship from giddy-up.
@aral So AI designed to reach conclusions opposite of those derived from human empathy and compassion? We should probably all get our affairs in order.
It’s okay to be of Northern European descent. It’s not okay to have a “white” mindset, because “whiteness” is by definition exclusionary, exploitative and oppressive. I’m with the other 47% on this one, as a descendant of vicious colonizers. Especially as a descendant of vicious colonizers.

MostlyHarmlessGive a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and then buy the pond. Tell him he can't have the fish, but he can fish for you and you will sell the fish and give him a very small cut, and then he'll say stuff like "I am hungry and my teeth hurt". Nobody wants to fish these days.

Action this quick is good but it's important that that's not just an excuse to bury the story and forget. Even if those cops go behind bars, something must be done to prevent this shit from happening. Things like this don't happen in a vacuum.
Between this and the bullshit "no bodycam footage" in #Arlanta with the #CopCity shooting, the next few weeks seen like they're going to be tense. People are going to need support, and cops will come down hard on protests.
Dave Troy Everybody's worried the fascists are going to win the game, when the real concern is that they're trying to blow up the stadium.
