hot take? "AI is destroying internet media" is not the story here, it's "AI can delivers slop better than what's left of internet media post-private equity". AI summaries can't replace a @gamersnexus.bsky.social vid. I stopped reading gaming sites when they fired all the writers I gave a shit about

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Screenshot of Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper article. Text:

No humanity: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple federal building

Immigration sweep brings overcrowded rooms and overflowing toilets. Lawyers say they can't visit their clients. The Department of Homeland Security says "all detainees receive full due process."

Screenshot of Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper article. Text: No humanity: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple federal building Immigration sweep brings overcrowded rooms and overflowing toilets. Lawyers say they can't visit their clients. The Department of Homeland Security says "all detainees receive full due process."

Packed 'shoulder to shoulder'
After the young Muslim woman spent nearly 24 hours locked in the bathroom with the three men, agents moved her to a different locked bathroom in the building's base-ment, she said.
When she had her period, agents told her to use toilet paper. When she felt dizzy and vomited twice, agents did not grant her request for medical care. When they gave her a sandwich, she didn't eat it, fearing it contained pork.
After her release, the Star Tribune visited the young Muslim woman at the sparsely decorated apartment where she lives with her mother. She recounted how federal agents tailed her after she dropped her mother off at work in mid-January. Afraid to drive home, she parked in a busy area, she said. Two agents knocked on her window, asked for identification and detained her.
While the Star Tribune was unable to independently verify some details of her detainment, much of her account about conditions at Whipple is consistent with descriptions from other interviews and court filings. Many detainees requested anonymity, fearing retribution.

Separate cells for citizens
U.S. citizens, many detained while protesting, said they were kept separate from and treated differently than immigrants.
Will Vermie said he landed in Whipple on Jan. 13 after observing the detainment of two young men across his south Minneapolis street.
Agents started pushing observers, telling them to get off the sidewalk, he said. An agent grabbed Vermie's arms, and the two lost their balance and fell to a heap. Four agents handcuffed Vermie and tossed him in an SUV.
For 8 hours at Whipple, the 39-year-old U.S. Army veteran said he stayed in a small cell for citizens. Seven more U.S. citizens were brought in. Some were bleeding, and told im they had been roughed up in detainment. They were given water but no food, he said, except when a guard brought fruit snacks to one man with low blood sugar.
Lawyers were given access only after providing the full name of a detainee, he said. So Vermie memorized the names of four detainees. When he was released without charges at 6 p.m., he gave those names to an attorney outside.

🧡The Whipple Building in south Minneapolis is a torture facility.

If this occupation is ever over and if we are restored to our rights, the state of Minnesota must reclaim the land, raze that building, and erect a monument and museum to memorialize this war against Minnesota and its people. 1/4

RFK Jr. Demonstrates How To Remove Tapeworm By Scooting Ass Across Carpet WASHINGTONβ€”In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demonstrated Thursday how ...

β€œDoctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapewormβ€”all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim.

I lost my affordable insurance entirely because of JD Vance’s political party.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
