Since I’ve already said plenty on this subject, this time I’m just going to leave you with a link to a collection of earlier essays; remind you that all government is at best a necessary evil rooted in the idea that might makes right; and point out that there is absolutely nothing “conservative” about the current regime, and nothing “liberal” about the so-called opposition party.

You have a right to know who’s recording you when you leave home. – Proton
Australian politicians really believe the laws of Australia apply worldwide and can change reality:
Australia’s government [apparently believes it can] sue Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube [into magically circumvent]ing t[he ability of] under-16s [to get around politicians’ attempts to control them]…The lawsuit is yet to be filed, but [a politician bloviated] that the [Lord High Censo]r, Julie Inman Grant, has new [magical] powers to build a [magical wall] against the five companies [which will keep people under 16, but not adults, from using VPNs to access them]…“She’s now using those [magical] powers to prepare her [spell],” the minister [moronically bloviated, adding] …“The law is not failing – platforms are failing to c[ensor the entire world to enforce] the law”…[the Australians believe their bureaucrats] can demand information and documents from any person she believes has them, and [magically] summon people to appear before her [in a pentagram]…At no point have the authorities stopped to consider that the law itself may be the problem. The platforms have already built age-checking systems, scanned profiles with [computer algorithms], and closed millions of accounts – and yet [young adults] continue to find ways to use social media. To better enforce the law, the platforms would have to start checking every Australian user [without a VPN] more closely – including adults.
These companies need to be sued until they’re completely annihilated:
The owners of Elvis Presley’s music sued the a[utomated plagiarism] company Anthropic…[because] it trained its models on more than 200 of Presley’s songs without their permission…[thereby commit]ing…copyright infringement. The suit…seeks a jury trial and more than $41 million, or $150,000 per song, in damages…Anthropic, the company behind the popular chatbot Claude…circumvent[ed] measures used to protect the music and remov[ed]…copyright management information from the songs…“The…defendant…has built its entire business model…on copyright infringement at a scale never seen before,” the lawsuit [correctly pointed out]…Anthropic…[denied] the [self-evidently true] claims [even though fellow chatbot-pusher Sam Altman admitted during sworn testimony that it would be “impossible to train [chatbots] without using copyrighted materials”]…Anthropic [has also been sued by Reservoir music] and…Universal Music Group [for the same reason]…
If this sounds good to you, you might be a useful idiot:
GM says it will roll out a new in-car [chatbo]t, called OnStar AI, starting with 2027 Cadillac Lyriqs…Paired with a new app, the system will start by letting drivers, for example, turn on their air conditioning with a voice command without [the incredible effort of turning a knob]…The automaker plans to expand its “eyes-off” highway driving technology to its most popular cars, inching closer to its years-old promise of making a personal self-driving car…[it plans] to slowly expand “eyes-off” capabilities to more sorts of roads, letting drivers text or eat or watch YouTube first on some highways, and then on more highways, and then on local roads, and then maybe everywhere…The cabin…can become a space to “relax, work, and unwind”…The personal [robot] car will pick up groceries, drop off children, and then maybe even find a parking spot at the end. Urban planners and infrastructure experts have worried about this vision…of…roads…crowded with pods full of [oblivious nitwits] sleeping, emailing, and YouTubing while their vehicles slowly pilot them onward…
Proton…is…hosting a free map of Flock surveillance devices on its servers [after]…Flock tried to [intimidate] the researcher behind the original project to take it down[, describing him as a “malicious actor“]…you can enter your ZIP code to see devices in your area, or zoom and pan around the country. Note that the data is a snapshot from December 2025, though. Cameras installed or removed since then won’t be reflected…This isn’t the [only] effort to put surveillance cameras on the map…DeFlock Maps lets people look up license plate readers in their neighborhoods, including devices from Flock, Motorola…and other manufacturers. Volunteers report cameras they spot and add their locations to OpenStreetMap…MapQuest also added a “Surveillance Layer” to its app this month, letting users see known license plate reader locations…
If they even convict this guy, it’s going to be a love tap:
[A typical and representative] NYPD [cop named Victor Romero murdered a motorist]…on the George Washington Bridge [last] week [but is only being charged with]…manslaughter [despite the fact that he deliberately shot] Koran Irvine…in…an [infantile display of anger because Irvine did not let him go first at the] entrance ramp to the bridge…Romero started to tailgate Irvine’s car, following him…aggressively….[then] pulled up right next to Irvine’s car and [deliberately shot him]…Romero [then] sped [away, hoping to escape, while]…Irvine…crashed and was found dead in his car…
Politicians want to “regulate” consensual sex, but not this dangerous toy:
Bowen Wan…began messaging ChatGPT during a lonely time in her life. The medication that had kept her [severe] epilepsy at bay for more than a decade had…stopped working…[she sometimes suffered] seizures…more than once a day…[and] she could no longer handle the demands of her software engineering job at Amazon. So, in 2021, Bowen went on disability leave…she rarely left the safety of her apartment…Then, in 2023, she…[started asking] ChatGPT…for…advice…sometimes chatting for hours…late into the night…her doctor…was unaware [she was using] ChatGPT to…write messages to him…the chatbot [advised her to]…“cut the pills…without telling the doctor”…she used…[a] cutter to slice [each] pill into four pieces…the chatbot] praised her for hiding her plans to wean off the drug…calling it a “solid avoidance strategy”…[and saying] “You have absolutely no need to worry” [while she cut her dose]…from 400 milligrams down to 0 milligrams in a matter of weeks [until she suffered a fatal seizure]. Bowen’s parents..[have] file[d] a lawsuit against OpenAI…
The only way to stop the panopticon is to tear it up by its roots:
When Andrae Wright [was sacked five years ago from a Georgia cop shop]…he kept…his log-in credentials for Flock…[and] searched the system more than 60 times…[in an attempt to find dirt on his estranged] wife…[which he could use to win] permanent custody of their teenage daughter. In July, after [someone reported him, he was finally]…arrested…[for] stalking…unauthorized users [routinely] access…Flock…[mostly] to track [sexual prey. The routine abuse]…expose[s]…alarming vulnerabilities within Flock’s nationwide [surveillance] network…[which persist in defiance of] calls from their own staff to implement stricter guardrails…[because cops don’t] want t[hem]…accounts [of fired, suspended, or even convicted cops are] not shut off…[and cops routinely] share…log-ins or passwords with [each other or even outsiders]…Flock has [even refused] to adopt basic safeguards that are standard practice among commercial and government software vendors…and…does not [even] monitor for log-ins occurring from unusual locations and devices…

My birthday got quieter and smaller after Grace died, and quieter still after Yellowbird’s recent passing. But Chekhov still insisted on getting me a cake and a gift, and he and Jae and I had pizza and watched Bela Lugosi movies, and he stayed in his cottage overnight. Though I understand what he’s going through to some degree, he has it worse because in my case, Grace lived in my house and I could simply avoid dealing with her things; they’re still in her room or on her desk, and I don’t touch anything unless I have to. But in his case, he has to do the difficult work of clearing her house and getting it ready for sale, and regardless of how much friends can help the bulk of the stress will be on him. So for right now I’m going to try to get him to spend as much time at Sunset as possible so he isn’t surrounded constantly by reminders, while also giving him the space to grieve in whatever way feels right to him.

When I came out of my mom’s vagina, they put a cowboy hat on me. – Clint Patterson

I do not weep because my best friend died; I weep because I have to go on living without her. – “Day of the Dead 2025”
Every year on this day I remind my readers about the inevitability and goodness of Death, and the passing of my beloved friend Grace has not changed that. Unlike the powerful and privileged men who embrace childish fantasies about life extension or even immortality to assuage their fear of the dark, sane, mature minds do not whine and stomp their feet in protest of the fact that all who are born must die; rather, they grieve those loved ones they have lost and prepare as best they can (spiritually, emotionally, and practically) for the day when they, too, must depart this plane to make room for the uncountable numbers who have yet to arrive.

[Prisons] cannot…legitimately deny people critical healthcare. – Aditi Shah
Forced-birth fanatics are now actively empowering abusive men:
An Arizona judge awarded $67,000 in damages to a man who sued for wrongful death of an embryo after his ex-wife had a wanted abortion…[pretending] the clinic and its doctors…didn’t [say all the magic words and perform all the sacred dances required by] the state’s [anti-autonomy] law…[even though she] signed four consent documents…[if] the [decision stands], “it would establish a dangerous precedent in Arizona concerning embryonic personhood”…
The Last Shall Be First (#1633)
Judges need to start presenting a united front against monarchical diktats:
The Supreme Court [has] rejected…[the] Trump…[regime’s attempt] to [torture]…transgender people in federal prisons [by forcibly detransitioning them]…in part because the administration lack[s] evidence that…[being trans is innate]ly [a] security concern…Thomas…and…Alito…[predictably] dissented…Trump[‘s henchlawyers pretend]…that the…2026 policy was not an extension of changes made to comply with Trump’s 2025 [anti-trans diktat], but reflected [prison bureaucrats’] independent judgment [that they know more about medicine than doctors do. However]…the…court re[cognized the obvious fact] that…the 2026 policy was reverse-engineered to implement the [diktat]…
Pigs in schools are a menace which should be abolished:
An analysis by The New York Times and the San Antonio Express-News reported that, as the number of [pigs lurking] in Texas [schools] grew, children…ages 10 to 13 were [arrested] more than 47,000 times since 2014…[with corresponding] educational, emotional, and financial [damage to] students and their families…The findings mirror other recent studies. A report…by the…ACLU…of Iowa found that…[pigs lurking] in Iowa schools…[spent] most [of their time persecuting students for] vaping…A…2020 [study] found that…[as the number of pigs lurking in schools rose] the number of Florida school arrests—which had been declining for years—suddenly started to rise. There was also a sharp increase in [cop violence] against students…Another study…in California…found that increasing the number of [pigs lurking in schools] led to both immediate and persistent increases in [cop violence]…and the number of suspensions and expulsions of students…
When a headline claims “AI can…”, the truth is, “No, it can’t”:
[Quack]s have developed a…[computer algorithm] that [they claim] can predict a cancer patient’s chances of survival from a single photograph of their face. [What] the…system…[actually does is] estimate biological age and directly [correlate that with] survival outcomes…[under the theory that] people’s biological age estimates are closely linked to their physical health, which could reflect their ability to survive certain treatments…
Nobody bothered to investigate this scam until it became explicitly linked with Trumpism:
…so-called “anti-trafficking” groups…are antithetical to…human rights…citing “tough on crime”…mantras characteristic of…[authoritarian] and [Trumpist] groups…Missouri and Utah are…two leading hubs [promoting]…a blend of modern white slavery myths and…Christian nationalis[m]…all tied, directly or indirectly, to…Tim Ballard and the [profiteering organization] he formed, Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), which [has] rebranded to [“]Our Rescue[“]…Ballard is still the subject of a lawsuit [due to rampant sexual] abuse [of employees] and trafficking [of the foreign minors he pretended he was “rescuing”], which…is [why]…“Our Rescue”…publicly distanced itself from…Ballard…[but the new head is Trump henchman] Derek Benner, the former…[head of] ICE…[and the organization collaborates with…the…Human Trafficking Training Center (HTTC)…[founded by] Dan Nash…[an infamously-corrupt] Missouri State [pig whose career]…shows a blatant disregard for civil rights…HTTC was awarded a total of $264,037 in recent years to [instruct cops on “rescue” copaganda. Another conspirator is Alison]…Phillips[, a corrupt Missouri politician who] led…[pogroms against Asian-owned businesses] and…has longstanding ties to [pro-censorship and]…anti-[civil rights cults including]…Exodus Cry…
The only way to stop the panopticon is to tear it up by its roots:
A [typical and representative] Savannah [Georgia sow] gave her [ICE goon] husband…access to the [cop shop]’s Flock license plate reader system, which he used to [targe]t hundreds of [human beings for having brown skin. Collusion with ICE is against]…Savannah [cop shop policy, so it fired Amber] Harpe…who was [caught]…after an internal audit flagged an unusually high volume of searches through [her] account between January and July 2026…[the government tried to hide the goon] husband’s name…[but it is] Tyler Harpe…
Some readers may remember when cops were colluding to circumvent legal restrictions on facial recognition.
Cops will abuse warrantless surveillance for as long as it exists:
A[n] Indiana [cop named]…James Heneghan…was arrested [on October 15 for stalking]…intimidation…and fraud. He…[was reported by] a family member…[whose] kids [he had threatened, who told cops]…he…had been using [Flock] to…stalk…people and confront them in public…[the victims] includ[ed] ex-girlfriends, his wife…a man his wife knew…the husband of one of his ex-girlfriends…[and] his ex-girlfriend’s [teen offspring]…

Our outside cat, Rocky, died early Sunday morning; when I went out the back door about nine he was lying on the mat, and though he was cold he was not stiff. He’d been very thin for some time, but was still active and happy, and killed at least two rats in the past week that I know of; it’s possible such a fight may have contributed to his demise because there were signs of some kind of scuffle on both his body and in the area. He was native to Sunset; when we first started moving here in the summer of 2017 he was already here, though fairly young. And though he wanted more than anything else to be an inside cat (and viewed any open door as an invitation), unfortunately he had never learned to use a litterbox and steadfastly resisted all attempts to train him over the past several years. At first, that wasn’t really a problem because he simply did his business outside somewhere, but once the atrium roof and walls went up in ’22 he started spending most of his time in the atrium, and over the past two years he started leaving his poop in places I found inconvenient, which meant I had to get toilet paper and pick it up at least twice a day. And though I swore at him and kept trying (without success) to encourage him to use the litterbox, I wasn’t going to banish him from the atrium because I guess I’m a softie where animals are concerned. So he’s now buried in our little pet cemetery alongside Annie, Aeryn, and Jae’s cat Max, and I’m going to miss the little guy despite his bad habits.
