“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” ~ J. Robert Oppenheimer

The Radiance - Linkin Park (A Thousand Suns)

I take you’ve never been affected by a tailing pond or pipeline failure then.

Being closed-minded and stupid is seen as a sign of greatness these days.

Probably the first one to shit his pants.

From the givesendgo page …

All proceeds will be sent directly to Luigi or, if he chooses to reject the funds, they will instead be donated to legal funds for other U.S political prisoners.

Why not every charge that can be leveled at them?

Because the link I shared was how a similar situation was dealt with in court.

What do you think should have been done in the current one?

So you would rather they get off unscathed instead?

In a similar deepfake porn case at a school in New Jersey, no charges were brought, and the alleged perpetrator does not appear to have suffered any academic or legal penalties. Dorotha Mani, a mother of one of the New Jersey victims, outlined her frustration with the leadership at her daughter’s school in approximately three pages of written testimony to Congress published in March. In that document, she called Westfield High School’s tepid response as “not only disheartening but also dangerous, as it fosters an environment where female students are left to feel victimized while male students escape necessary accountability.”

40 years ago I would have agreed with you.

But not now after unfettered capitalism’s rise to power. It’s time they found out how weak they truly are.

It can be turned around tho. Just stop voting in right wingnuts.

The isolation during the pandemic has been proven to have affected kid’s education as well.

In Canada the only reason that our administrative waste has increased is because right wing Conservatives have begun to privatize so many of our public healthcare services.

To date the only provincial leadership that has moved to reverse this trend is Manitoba’s premier, Wab Kinew, who recently announced a ban on “public health providers from signing new contracts with private nursing agencies”.

I missed that completely then.

This doesn’t seem to be vigilante justice tho. More like the cartels working towards a coup, then a massive fight between the cartel leaders over who will lead/own Mexico.

You’re right, but a revolution seems to be closer than ever before.

Seeing as Israel was the first to attack I believe it’s the other way around.

Many revolutions and massive nation changes have happened so quickly that many never saw them coming. The Berlin wall coming down, the Duvalier’s and Assad’s reigns ending are three in relatively recent memory.

The thing is that the rich and powerful often miss the signs, if for no other reason than they fundamentally believe they are untouchable … because they are, until they aren’t.

What I find amazing is that the rich and powerful continue to be blind to the history of inequality and how many elites are killed, been overthrown and/or have to beg for asylum in foreign nations.

If they kill him they’ll have begun another American Revolution, this one freeing Americans from the evil capitalist scum.

Do Squid Have Bones?

Squids are fascinating marine animals that belong to the class Cephalopoda. They are known for their unique body structure, which includes a soft mantle, eight arms, and two longer tentacles. But one question that often arises when discussing squids is whether or not they have bones.

Unlike most vertebrates, squids are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone or any internal skeleton.

However, they do have a hard structure called a pen or gladius, which is located inside their mantle. The pen is made of chitin, a tough and flexible material that also makes up the exoskeleton of other invertebrates like insects and crustaceans.

The pen serves several purposes, including providing support for the squid’s mantle and acting as a site for muscle attachment.

While it is not technically a bone, it serves a similar function and is often referred to as the squid’s “internal shell.” It is worth noting that not all cephalopods have a pen, and some species have evolved different structures to serve similar purposes. For example, the colossal squid has a unique “chitin shield” that covers its mantle.

That’s because the orange asshole thought he was playing 4D chess when in fact he was playing checkers.

Tell me you think he even knows the difference. /s
