Oh look, another actual news story I initially dismissed as fake social media bullshit. #fuckice #iceout #abolishice #americanfascism https://apnews.com/article/ice-electric-shock-gloves-85ff746d3e0ee5f39e7a9a3f1f576252

Very shrewd of the #RedSox to go on a losing streak and deflect some of the cheating allegations ... #baseball #mlb

So I guess we got ourselves a streaky team...😬 Hope this is the start of another winning run. #redsox #baseball #mlb

That Post about #PostpartumDepression is a handy demonstration of why #women MUST have voices, votes and representation in government. Because cishet men have had millenia to get a clue, and they're still coming at us with garbage like that in 2026. #MattWalsh #whyaremen

Fewer people like this leaving us, more of the terrible ones instead pls #timcurry https://apnews.com/article/tim-curry-dies-obituary-ece7aebde225cfcd16745cd0584494dd

Today in what the actual goddamned fuck: "[The judge]ruled that Minnesota’s lawsuit was premature because Abbott has not yet denied its extradition request. "The record reflects only that Governor Abbott has neither agreed nor refused to sign the rendition warrant as to Castro," the judge wrote." #ICEOUT #ABOLISHICE 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ https://www.foxnews.com/us/judge-clears-path-ice-agent-accused-minnesota-shooting-case-leave-texas-jail

"Just don't go" WHAT A FUCKING CONCEPT. Similarly: Don't like abortions? Gay marriage? DON'T HAVE ONE! Why is this difficult? #dragshows #justdontgo https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/judge-strikes-texas-ban-drag-shows-tells-people-offended-just-dont-go-rcna594448

21 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Its aftermath did more to shatter my youthful innocence about the world than 9/11. That's just a fact. I don't know why I took notice of the date today, and not on the 20th anniversary last year. But today, it's on my mind.

@Brian_Mahoney I might have avoided it last year because there were lots of videos and shows out, and I still really can't watch those. I saw enough at the time.

Nice to see the #RedSox win one today. I predict they split the series, just because these two teams historically tend to play to a draw unless an outcome is forced. #redsoxyankees #mlb #baseball

Ugly, gut-punch blowout loss in NY today. Should we be glad we were even playing such a meaningful game in late August, given how this season began? Or is it even more maddening, in the end, to be given possibly false hope? #redsox #baseball

Watching #RedSox play-by-play on the phone and a #NewEnglandPatriots drive on TV. Still the most wonderful time of the year in my world. #nfl #mlb #football #baseball #sports

@xChaos @FeloniousPunk Not aware of the other 2 being detectable by brain scan. Psychopaths absolutely are.
-
@pmjv @xChaos @FeloniousPunk Not sure what you're getting at here. Unless you're suggesting that the traits shared include the incapacity for empathy, which I couldn't find in the article, I don't think you're addressing what I suggested. I think the blind person drivers license discrimination is a better analogy. Certainly some papers state that a brain scan is not diagnostic of psychopathy. That's valid too. If it doesn't work, I with...

@xChaos @FeloniousPunk Fully agree. I can't think of a safe way to do it. It's just frustrating to know that psychopathic traits are detectable and are reliably disastrous when people with those traits acquire power. It's easy to imagine people being disadvantaged by faked test results. "Computer says psycho" as a form of disenfranchisement. With visual impairment, it's hard to hide and easy to understand and independently verify. Not true of...

@pmjv @xChaos @FeloniousPunk I read the Solomon story as a gamble that the real mother would speak up, the ruse hopefully pre-arranged with whoever would have carried out such a brutal sentence, so the kid would never truly have been at risk. But maybe that's a naïve view. Regarding the decision capability question, I want any moral decision that is made with limited oversight to be made by someone with a conscience. Are you suggesting we might need a heartless ruler sometimes?
-
@pmjv @xChaos @FeloniousPunk same!
-
@pmjv @xChaos @FeloniousPunk > the onlookers would probably classify that as psychopathic behavior Not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about using the ability to determine without reasonable doubt and without any behaviour sample whether someone is a psychopath. > i believe that all human traits can be utilized to some benefit, Ok. I don't. > we will always need people to make decisions nobody else does, Maybe, but that doesn't sugge...

@pmjv @xChaos @FeloniousPunk Nope, it's shorter. It's near enough identical for the point I'm making. Without empathy, psychopaths only fail to harm people by chance. https://mindpsychiatrist.com/are-all-psychopaths-evil/ Failing to consider the impact of actions on others is not a trait anyone can reasonably want in someone wielding power. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Are you seriously suggesting that discriminating against psychopaths in...

"Israel is where we go when it happens again." It is such a powerful message of pain, tight with centuries of unjust oppression. It's compelling rhetoric, and it's a trauma response. Because it's a trauma response, it's not rational. What if the next time it happens, it happens in Israel? Is there something that makes Israel magically immune to injustice? I think that's part of the struggle some people have with calling out Israel&...

@micr0 Work BYOD device means I have little option. I recognise that 2 physically distinct devices would be the better thing to do, but given that the level of chaos my ADHD regularly provokes means I must set reminders to brush my teeth, see sunlight and drink water, I don't think I could reliably remember to carry both machines.
