Thank you for that detail

Thanks for the explanation. Is a second space a space you’re obligated to be, like work/school, or just anywhere you spend most of your time regardless?

I would argue that similar tech in our lives causes similar issues. We don’t write things down anymore - just scroll on, with a fragmented mish-mash memory of what we’ve seen. Some capacity for retention gets exhausted in a given day. Just what I’ve observed in myself or among friends/family.

I haven’t listened yet but I’m subscribed, so I will. Just to say that this guy is great. Gary Stephen’s.

Yeah, I’m curious too. I think in the USA, voters register in advance as, for example, Democrat, Republican, etc. So I’m guessing that voter files might show those affiliations, if not their actual voting record. So what concerns me is that this could basically be used to target voters of a particular persuasion. But, I’m not a Turtle Island settler and so I’m not a reliable source of info.

“War criminal” is not a dirty word to those people, and it comes with rewards, not consequences. See UK and Tony Blair, for example.

Oh dear. It appears that whatever grooming operation the media companies are facilitating there is working.

I assumed this was available on https://www.watermelonpictures.com/films but it doesn’t seem to be there. I hope it makes it to other platforms.

We should also be boycotting USA until they honour their treaties with the tribes.

Just looking at your post history. Is this some kind of cruelty fetish of yours?

That term isn’t translated to represent Russian grammar and politics, hence not relevant to this topic.

Interesting commentary on this by historian Aparna Nair on Bluesky. Essentially, saying that caste and discrimination is inherent in a certain cohort of the society which adhere to racism and eugenics.

So basically when translated directly from Russian, “the” means that the place is no a sovereign place (eg, a hill). This is done deliberately to lull people into the idea that Ukraine is not an independent state. Ukraine has asked Russia to refrain from this, which it doesn’t. But we don’t have to collude. Fair enough.

Very interesting and credible. I recognise the hypervigilance part, and it sounds like there’s some practice/training as well as “instinct” in there too.

I’ve tried but they* don’t hit the way they used to. And they’re a bit louder than I remember.

* The Real Ghostbusters & TMNT. Both from the 80s/90s.

First they came for our users and I did not speak up …

I’m relieved to hear that. I’m thinking back about the times where I might have missed something like that. Not a comfortable thought. Thanks for the reply!

That is absolutely terrifying. Good instincts on your part. I’m assuming/hoping she was okay?

That was a terrifying read, but thanks for sharing. I’d like to be able to spot it.
