I made a thing. And please note: I'm not saying he was effective, or moral; I'm just saying that Luigi at least understood the *ethically* correct answer to the trolley problem.
The "trolley problem" meme. A streetcar is about to hit several people tied to the track ahead of it. A bystander has the ability to pull a switch that will redirect the trolley to a side track with only one person tied to it. In this version, the bystander is labeled "Luigi Mangione," the single victim is labeled "one 'healthcare' CEO," and the multiple victims are labeled "thousands of sick people"

Because of A Good Place, I now understand that in this context Luigi may be a utilitarian.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) on the failure of the revised stopgap spending bill in the House last night: "If we would have allowed this to go through … it sets a standard that President Elon can just tweet and a bill gets passed. That's not how it works here."

Clearsky at the Bad Place™: A new infrastructure for the Russian information warfare campaign named Doppelgänger has been discovered by ClearSky.
Doppelgänger is a Russian state-sponsored covert influence operation campaign that promotes pro-Russian narratives and disseminates disinformation through a network of cloned websites, fake articles, and social media manipulation. Clearsky shares new infrastructure in this tweet. h/t: @campuscodi

The police work for billionaires.

They’ll attack a strike, they’ll arrest protesters, and they’ll devote themselves to making CEOs feel safe.

Not only do cops defund our cities, they work overtime to stop us from building a better world.

Ah, yes. Slavery and Christmas.

Seriously people... first you elect the old #idiot that should've been in a #retirement home already...

And now you all bend the knee to an #unelected #deranged rich boy taking over from the old guy?!?!?

Why aren't you all out on the streets #protesting against a member of a not yet #inaugurated #president's group of #henchmen, who's #unelected but trying to act as president?!?!?

sheesh...

oh, I know. Self-preservation time! I made it through the last 4, hopefully the next four. I don't think it will be a dictatorship-because that would require competency and nobody in the new WH is competent enough to tie their freaking shoes. NOBODY.

Stifel and BCA Research predict a down year for the S&P 500 in 2025.

Stifel cites extreme valuations and a slowing economy as reasons for a market correction.

BCA Research warns of fading pandemic-era benefits and recession risks.

I've seen a few people do this on YouTube, and it looks quite impressive. Plaster of Paris, or cement, to make solid walls within the plastic forms, and sometimes a wood laminate shell for looks.

Impact of sea level rise in #Belize. This island resort no longer has a beach, and has had to build a sea wall to prevent further loss of land. From what I understand of coastal erosion, that will probably just accelerate the erosion. The entire island is no more than a few feet above sea level. #ClimateChange #SeaLevelRise
Photo of a submerged beach, with two palm thatched umbrellas sticking out of the sea. In the foreground there is part of a concrete sea wall visible, and in the background, a thatched cabana. The sea is a beautiful turquoise and blue, under a clear blue sky.

I don’t understand why the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats never stood up to Elon Musk.

One cannot tame a monster or supervillain with “norms”, and he spent hundreds of millions to elect Trump and Republicans anyway.

He must have our national security by the shorthairs.

Keine Konsequenzen für Rechtsbruch

Vor dem Gesetz sind Vermieter gleicher


Von Erik Peter

Ob Eigenbedarf oder Wuchermiete: Vermieter brechen systematisch Gesetze. Manchmal wird der Rechtsbruch aufgehalten. Strafen erhalten sie nie.

Klassenjustiz... Ein Wort das nicht ausgesprochen wird... ""Diese strukturelle Bevorteilung der besitzenden Klasse – vom Gesetzgeber so gewollt und von den meisten Gerichten exekutiert – ist einem rechtsstaatlichen System unwürdig. "" Das Regime BRD ist kein rechtsstaatliches Regime...

For you, today, that might make the difference between wearing a jumper or a jacket. For humanity, it is the difference between survival and extinction"

Panel3 - Jellico: and I'd think what's with the nickels? leading to more nickels

Panel4 - Jellico: and confusion and eventually I'd be slowly

Panel5 - Jellico: crushed by nickels without ever knowing why

Panel6 Troi: Blank look on her face as she listens to Jellico
