I've been thinking of how to express what I think about the Burning Man situation, but this guy just did it perfectly.

Fuck Burning Man.

#BurningMan

A man with long hair and beard talking into a camera inside his home, a tiktok video with tiktok watermark and username (@pearlmania500) on the side, and slightly "misunderstood" captions (curse words replaced by words that don't trigger moderation).

SallyStrange,

@mzedp I enjoyed the many variations on replacements for the word "fucking" in the captions. "financially unstable" "boring" "fiduciary"

Actually there is something worse than linking to Xitter - and that's linking to a "news" article comprised entirely of things someone said on Xitter.

SallyStrange,

@Helengraham @juglugs you can't free women from subjugation by regulating their clothes. That just means they'll be subjugated by clothes cops on top of everything else.

SallyStrange,

@nazokiyoubinbou @Helengraham @juglugs Banning the burqa mostly only happens in France where Muslims are an oppressed minority. They claim it's for human rights but its effect is to further marginalize Muslims, especially Muslim women. Turns out you can't show people that banning certain types of clothing for women is wrong by banning certain types of clothing for women.

    I love it when I see people boosting their own toots. Because it tells me, You really wanted me to see this! You want others to see it too probably! So I just boost away. Glad for a second chance.

    SallyStrange,

    @_otter_ I bet you money that this phrase migrates into general usage someday

    SallyStrange,

    @neonsnake it's really not spam tho

    or, if it is, then spam is something we need with a purely chronological algorithm

    The forest has taken over this abandoned cabin in Hemesdal, Norway - unknown photographer

    SallyStrange,

    @ClipHead @phranck @henkheijmans @scottaw Do like this: Image is a photo of a snowy cabin. Several conifers are growing off its slumping roof. #Alt4You #DescriptiveText #Accessibility

    then boost away!

    SallyStrange,

    @I_Like_Books @ClipHead @phranck @henkheijmans @scottaw it's possible. Hard to tell. I actually looked hard at the roof and couldn't see holes through which they'd be growing, but perhaps the branches, all snowy, cover those up.

    Does Mitch McConnell have a family? Does anyone love him enough to talk with him about... the finite nature of life. The preciousness of hours, minutes seconds?

    How from dust we all have come and to dust we shall all return?

    He could be petting some kittens. Listening to the sound of a child's laugh-- Dude really wants to die in front of us holding a pen mid-way through signing a bill that forces orphans to work in coal mines or something.

    SallyStrange,

    @futurebird No. He married for money and political advantage in the early 1980s and hasn't looked back since. Nobody loves him.

    Why drive a cybertruck when you can drive one of these?

    A tiny, semi-triangular boxy red car with its triangular front end opened up to reveal wiring and batteries

    SallyStrange,

    This is a "Comuta Car"; the only reason I know about them is because I spotted one for sale not far from my home a couple weeks ago. They were built between about 1974 - 1982

    @ned Geez I didn't know you can get paid for having a small peen! Awesome!

    SallyStrange, to fantasy

    I'm reading "He Who Drowned The World," the sequel to Shelley Parker-Chan's epic fantasy about the end of the Yuan Mongol dynasty. I have three words: LADY RIVER PIRATES

    #NowReading #SFF #HistoricalFiction #Fantasy #queer #ShelleyParkerChan

    SallyStrange,

    @Loukas Yes. And actually the magic plays a very minor role. In these books it consists only of giving those who have "the Mandate of Heaven" the ability to call forth supernatural light on command and also to see ghosts. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/the-mandate-of-heaven/

    SallyStrange,

    @Loukas It's a mix, I think. I'm not super familiar the actual history. This book definitely queers the accepted storyline, like, a lot. But the overall arc of events stays true to what really happened.

    I'm shocked

    Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data | Reuters

    https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/police-are-not-primarily-crime-fighters-according-data-2022-11-02/

    > A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.

    In Riverside, about 83% of deputies’ time spent on officer-initiated stops went toward traffic violations, and just 7% on stops based on reasonable suspicion. Moreover, most of the stops are pointless, other than inconveniencing citizens, or worse – “a routine practice of pretextual stops,” researchers wrote. Roughly three out of every four hours that Sacramento sheriff’s officers spent investigating traffic violations were for stops that ended in warnings, or no action, for example.
    Researchers calculated that more of the departments’ budgets go toward fruitless traffic stops than responses to service calls -- essentially wasting millions of public dollars. Chauncee Smith, a senior manager at Catalyst California, told me they wanted to test the dominant media and political narrative that police agencies use public funds to keep communities safe. “We found there is a significant inconsistency between their practices” and what the public might think police do, Smith said. “It begs the question of why we keep doubling down on public safety strategies that have been proven time and time again to fail.”

    SallyStrange,

    @BigAngBlack shocking! lol
