In particular, I think if we're rounding people up, denying them trials, and sending them en masse to concentration camps in foreign countries, we've fallen into authoritarian rule, whether congress and the courts are OK with it or not.

"This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.

Least shocking story of the day.

A post from Secular Talk (@KyleKulinski ) on X shares a Yahoo News article from The Wrap. The headline reads: "Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’." The article is written by Stephanie Kaloi, published on Fri, February 21, 2025, at 11:05 PM EST, with a 5-minute read time and 7.4K shares. The Yahoo News interface shows a search bar, a "Shop Social Media Faves" button, and an Amazon ad.

Fifty years ago, if the right decisions had been made, today might look very different. We likely would not be talking about a climate crisis or a climate emergency.

But the right decisions were not made then. Instead, our capitalist rulers pushed ahead with their growth-at-any-cost mantra. And now we face certain disaster.

There are still actions to be taken, a struggle to be waged, in hopes of making the collapse of society slightly less costly for some people in some places. We must engage in that fight.

But suffering is inevitable, great suffering, both for humans and for the natural environment that our industry and our consumerism are in the process of destroying.

Chart showing "Trends in atmospheric CO2 versus global temperature change." Amount of CO2 rapidly climbs from ~315 ppm in 1960 to ~418 ppm in 2020. Today, in 2025, the level is ~430 ppm. Graphic also notes when various meetings were held and agreements were made to limit or reduce carbon emissions. None of this has had any effect.

The second post reads "#eldritch gods see me in the corner and then they scream in terror and grab their husband to squish me." The Third Tumblr post reads "While exploring a vast city and incomprehensible city which seems predates life on earth, I am gently picked up by something incomprehensible with the higher dimension equivalent of a cup and piece of paper, then set outside in my natural habitat. The being exists outside of time and can't tell cities apart so I appear in Sumar."

The main difference between Mastodon and Bluesky is that here, I’m scolded for being a stupid MAGA apologist for saying that that I don’t think a constitutional crisis is the only way we could get authoritarian rule, whereas over there, I’m scolded for being a stupid MAGA apologist for failing to acknowledge the obvious truth that Elon Musk hacked voting machines to steal the election for Harris.

At least everyone seems to agree about the diagnosis, if not the symptoms.

An advert from the 80s. It depicts a woman with voluminous feathered brown hair. She’s wearing a tight fitting vinyl onesie in violent red, unzipped to her navel. The onesie has multiple pockets in strange nonstandard places. In each, there are small computer keyboards of various shapes and sizes. She is looking at the camera and carrying something akin to the TRS80 model 100. She is ready as fuck to jack into cyberspace.
