  • Proper headline:

    “ICE Agent Faces Consequences of Own Actions, Resigns”

    We have something else we do to handle ICE agents in Appalachia. Long history here of administering consequences to the feds, despite the recent voting history.

  • You don’t, but they don’t want you to know you can just change the URL a bit and never hit the paywall.

    None of the news organizations in the USA deserve payment because they do not report news, they act as propaganda agents.

    Meidas Touch is currently the best news source and they can be found on BlueSky, TikTok, YouTube, as well as their podcast.

  • Old lady here. Neurodivergent also. Let me share some of what I have learned.

    People like your father are, simply put, radicalized by right wing propagandists. Maybe he was a good person at some point in his life, but the propaganda is a tool for brainwashing- he isn’t the person he may once have been. And he probably will never be, again.

    To that group, compassion and kindness are considered bad. For this reason, I ask that you use extreme caution and understand that your dad may believe there is ”honor” in hurting you or those you care about. This is a very real possibility and I encourage you to find safe shelter elsewhere, if possible.

    If you need help, let us know. Please do not trust this man anymore. I know it’s hard when it is our parents, but many of us have gone through this already and know the process.

  • It was a typical season 2 for a show where season 1 was well liked.

    In other words, it is trash.

    Watchable for effects and because we cared in the first season, but by the end we no longer care.

    The Last of Us season 2 is similar- I just watched it and the producer should be ashamed. Season 1 was the best television in years: Season 2 is trash.

  • Brain organoids have been around for a while. You can even rent their processing power.

    They have issues, including a hard limit to their lifetime and growth potential. And the ethics involved shouldn’t be underestimated.

    They can and have been wired up to animals and when they do- they start vascularizing and growing and influencing the organism they are attached to.

    As an organoid, they probably lack the majority of things that would cause suffering- but we have used this “logic” to torture humans and animals in the past, so I am not fully convinced.

    I am also extremely interested in what these organoids can eventually lead to- but we need to not judge based on clickbait articles and use actual science and ethics to proceed.
