I have a suspicion that Netflix is messing with the episode order for some folks.
My partner and I were on the phone with their mom when she mentioned that she just started watching Black Mirror. I had a silent freakout moment and half-apologized for the early episodes being “pretty gnarly” but she mentioned the first one she saw was a USS Callister or something else.

We’re in the throes of a few crisis in the US:
- a professional backlash against the over-prescription of opiates that were advertised as “non-addictive” which was actually a lie,
- the monster the above crisis created: a domestic population of drug addicts who are either seeking drugs themselves or looking to non-addicts to acquire them,
- constriction within the health insurance marketplace, demanding more and more justification for care and drug access,
- an entire political system that’s in the pocket of said industry who are incentivized to manufacture a world that maximizes health care spending while minimizing actual health care delivered.

I once texted the phone number on an elote stand to ask when they were open, got a polite response, then accidentally sent them fetish furry porn by accident a week later. I immediately apologized. I’ve still never visited that elote stand. Too ashamed.

That’s just the back story.
The actual subject of the story is that some gross edgelord clout chaser drummed up support in the local ironic goner community to throw an anniversary event in the spot where the guy killed himself.
In a word: wack.
A.R. Moxon recently recontextualized David Lynch’s quote “fix your hearts or die” as an invitation for lonely men to find peace through, ironically enough, feminism. It’s a great read. I hope all the men interviewed here find some degree of peace apart from this nihilism.

There’s nothing wrong with eating peafowl. People have been eating them for centuries and still do.

This guy was reportedly arrested for his slaughtering methods. I’m no butcher, but I believe the commonly accepted method of slaughter is to swiftly break the bird’s neck to ensure the death is quick. According to the news article, he cut the bird’s necks and let them bleed out which counts as animal cruelty. A person would theoretically get arrested for doing this to their pet/feeder chickens as well.

The "wrong"ness is the point.
They’ve taken a story that’s a lesson about technological hubris and turned it into an ad for just such a technology of which people are existentially wary.
It’s being naughty about an ethics lesson; diet caffiene-free non-carbonated trolling.

- Comment on Copying Is Not Theft 5 months ago:
Copying is more like trespassing than theft.
When you own a thing, it’s generally accepted that you gave away or sacrificed something of value (either money or time or effort) in order to own that thing. If another person comes along and steals that thing from you, that sucks. The other person never gave up anything of value, you didn’t get anything, and you probably didn’t consent to any of this to begin with. This is clearly unjust and should be a crime.
Copying is a very different act. It’s still unjust, but much much less so than theft. When an object gets copied, the owner doesn’t lose the object itself, but they do lose something: exclusivity.
A bluray disc for a movie that was just released is going to be more expensive than a bluray disc for a movie that’s 75 years old and part of the public domain. There are already a ton of discs of that 75 year old movie on the market, in libraries and maybe even available to watch online for free; its exclusivity is low. The movie that was just released isn’t going to be available anywhere else but from whomever is selling it; its exclusivity is high. When someone makes a copy of that new movie, it lowers the exclusivity of it. The owner of the disc may not care about a loss of exclusivity, but the people producing those discs very much do. Decreasing exclusivity means that there are more options out there for people to acquire what they’re selling, which lowers the value, lowers how much people are willing to pay, and lowers how much money the producers can make.
Exclusivity decreases as access increases. And we have a name for the crime of taking unwarranted access: trespassing.
Trespassing is generally a less harmful act than theft and is generally not punished as severely, which is how unwarranted copying ought to be understood and treated as a matter of justice.
The mischaracterization of unwarranted copying as theft is punitive overreach by the owner-class and leads to unjust punishments.

- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 5 months ago:
Jon has spent his entire career being exceptional at being a clown and communicating.
It’s not unreasonable for people to presume that a smart person who is good at communicating might make a great leader. But I think the role calls for more different skills that others have spent a lifetime specifically crafting (as opposed to performing stand-up and doing for television for decades).
He’s doing what he wants to do within the constraints offered to him. Do you think he wants to be working for Paramount? He had that show on Apple for a few years before butting heads on iPhone manufacturing practices, then he got pulled back into David & Larry Ellison’s world.
