Л.К.

Художник к тыкве подошел, и овощ
Подняв рукой, как голову Медузы,
Всем показал, что овощ разрисован,
И по его щекам, как бы трамваи,
Усатые узоры расползались:

"Друзья мои, прекрасен сей сосуд
На фоне повсеместного уродства;
Ни безрассудство и ни сумасбродство
Его от разложенья не спасут,
Но красота спасет," -- и он умолк,

Мозг ежился и принимал сигналы
О том, что людям холодно и злобно,
И холод застарелый, и усталость,
И красота от смерти не спасает,
И только дети, может быть, спасут.

Border patrol commander

The persecutor is walking back his outrageous accusations against the victims of the thugs' crimes, but not very far — now it is a "tragedy", as if no one were responsible.

Bovino, whom the persecutor chose to lead the mad stampede of deportation thugs in Minnesota, has returned to his previous local post. Alas, his replacement is just as cruel

even if not as wild.

I think all this represents unstated recognition that the blatant lies that high officials were telling about the people that thugs had murdered were driving some of their supporters away.

Police resource allocation concern

The corrupter has continued a decades-long trend of increasing the resources put into policing (and punishing) of ordinary people's behavior, and reducing the policing (investigation) of rich people's self-enrichment behavior.

Biden went against that trend when he gave the IRS more money to investigate tax dodgers. Of course, the corrupter reversed that change, precisely because it was effective.

Trump sues IRS and US treasury

An IRS employee leaked the corrupter's private income tax data, and was properly convicted and sentenced for doing so. Now the corrupter is suing the IRS and demands ten billion dollars in damages for the leak.

The president should not be allowed to sue federal agencies at all, because that creates an opportunity for corruption.

Ian McEwan call for extending rights

*Ian McEwan calls for assisted dying rights to extend to dementia sufferers.*

My mother used to say to me: 'If I ever become really terrible, I’d like you to finish me off.' But of course, that’s to commit murder as things stand. Imagine standing up in court and saying: ‘Well, she did say when we were on the beach 20 years ago …' By the time my mother was well advanced and could not recognize anyone, she was dead. She was alive and dead all at once. It was a terrible thing.

Such a person is effectively a zombie. We should have the right to register in advance, when we still have the capacity to think about the question, the request to be killed painlessly if we become zombies.

Amazon fresh closures

Amazon is giving up on its surveillance-based stores that require every customer to be tracked. Hooray for the failure of an initiative that tried to expand surveillance! But that still leaves so much surveillance that we need to put an end to.

Swift bricks

Scotland has legislated new buildings must include swift bricks that provide nesting spaces for swifts.

These special bricks contain a cavity that small birds can nest in. The added cost of construction is minuscule, but business owners think a little more profit is worth destruction of endangered species.

Pretend intelligence office chaos

People who use Pretend Intelligence for work meetings and job interviews are causing chaos in business. Some of them are trying to use it to compensate for their own lack of ability or knowledge. People who catch on to this learn they cannot be trusted.

Пишет Яцутко:

      Я вот думаю. В конце 1980-х — начале 1990-х я знал нескольких фотографов, которые фотографировали в основном голых старшеклассниц. У них тогда и выставки во всяких местных пространствах проходили, в которых эти самые старшеклассницы всегда были главными участницами. Пришедшие люди пялились на стены, а потом сличали эти изображения со стоящими рядом девочками.

      Помню, я укорял одного из этих фотографов, но совсем не за то, за что вы могли бы подумать. Я говорил: "Ну вот ты отлично владеешь техникой съёмки. Почему ты тратишь своё умение тупо на то, чтобы снимать голых девок? Это же скучно! Ну ты можешь снимать кого и что угодно. И будет точно круто! Почему ты снимаешь только голых школьниц?" А он отвечал: "Потому что голые школьницы — это самая востребованная тематика. Вот у меня сейчас проходит выставка в Доме работников просвещения. Пустили бы меня туда, если бы я снимал драматических бомжей?"
      Сейчас вспоминаю этот диалог — и он кажется мне фантастическим. Потому что как раз драматических бомжей сегодня на выставку в такое место пустили бы. А на голых старшеклассниц вызвали бы полицию.

      Кстати, у меня здесь во френдах девушка, снявшаяся голой в десятом классе для рекламы местной версии ночи пожирателей рекламы. Это было уже в годы, когда несовершеннолетнюю наготу не особенно одобряли, но она, типа, снялась со спины и "мы же никому не скажем, правда?"
      Как сейчас чувствуют себя те самые фотографы, что годами снимали голых старшеклассниц? С современной точки зрения ведь у них, практически, архив детского порно.


Мудрая мысль. Хотя драматических бомжей, мне кажется,
тоже будет неинклюзивно, а почему кажется -- трудно
поставить палец. Вообще, внимание публики теперь где
общественный, а где государственный ресурс, и привлекать
его (даже случайно) можно только к вещам официально
одобряемым. Да и личное внимание у человека, то же самое --
личного внимания у него нет. Это инструмент приема
и усиления, и он принадлежит народу.
