law enforcement is so useless to the point where even trying to get them to do the bare minimum is a hassle, but god forbid you take justice into your own hands, now everyone is like “what gives you the authority to decide right and wrong?”

well it’s simple: it’s called I’m Fucking Pissed.

Josie is the most interesting and beautiful woman on earth and Harry is just some guy who loves her. They’re like a Connecticut Clark and Malfina variation. To me.

something thats really funny for me is that if your muse is in a relationship with him, he will adopt your muse’s hatred/grudges for specific people, too. and genuinely. someone’s he’s never even met is gonna get shittalked by an archangel.

What about the crew members?

I cannot get over this line from the black trailer for a few reasons:

1. This is a world where there's fully functional soldier robots and AI. Why is the train manned by people in the first place? Jacques clearly motivated by money, so the less people he has to pay the better

2. We never see these supposed crew members, so there's no chance of having a visceral reaction to either their safety or demise. The only SDC workers we ever see iirc are the ones from the Adam short who smirk after throwing a smoke bomb. If we were meant to sympathize with them, it would've been better to make them shaking and scared because they're maintenance engineers instead of security (because having two types of security is expensive and stupid)

3. The SDC is enslaving and branding people, and everyone not fighting it is complicit. Blake has rescued Faunus from literal cages in SDC factories and has seen Adam's face, so she knows this intimately. Why does she care if a few accessories to slavery get blown up? Does she care more for complacent humans than suffering Faunus?

What about the crew members? Fuck em, that's what

Enter American culture-war nonsense.

In Texas, they want to ban websites that explain how to get an abortion, as well as sites that ship the pills for a medication abortion. In Florida, they want to force bloggers who write about the state government to pay a fee and register with the state, prohibiting anonymous commentary about the state legislature and its actions. Florida has also required that online providers cease permitting their users to display pronouns other than the ones they were assigned at birth. Of course, online services have no way to know what pronouns any of their users were assigned at birth, so sites like Github are complying with Florida law by simply not displaying pronouns to Floridian users.

The biggest barrier to enforcing these laws is the US Constitution, which these laws assuredly violate. It’s entirely possible that a lower court will uphold these laws. It’s conceivable that an appeals court will do so as well. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that the current Supreme Court — illegitimately stacked with far-right partisan hacks lacking any shred of principle — will follow suit.

But it’s far from a sure thing. It’s not even clear whether the legislatures that passed these laws and the governors who signed them want them to be enforced. After all, if these policies do come into force, large numbers of corporations are likely to shutter their offices and move out of state (especially in Florida, an increasingly economic irrelevance for any business not engaged in selling soon-to-be-drowned condos and/or shitcoins).

For these cynical political operators, having their laws overturned by “activist judges” lets them eat their cake and have it too — they don’t have to alienate the business lobby, and they get a steady supply of red meat for their cruel base, driving voter turnout and donations from frightened bigots.

it's funny and all to talk about crowley teaching aziraphale what ACAB means/why it's valid, but i'm being so serious when i say that he doesn't need to. aziraphale is already ACAB.

when he said in the book that he's "of course morally obliged" to assist local police in their enquiries, he didn't actually mean that shit. the whole premise of the book is aziraphale & crowley not agreeing with what they're 'of course' supposed to do and inventing cleverer and cleverer ways to get around it. when crowley told him to stop them before they got there then, aziraphale's response was "sure i'm down to miraculously knock out 40 policemen but heaven's going to start to notice". he couldn't spare them two fucks if they were fuckless.

aziraphale's the Original Gay. he's lived in soho for generations. he goes to discreet gentlemen's clubs and is basically the mafia in his area, he is the one that london queers would run to if they needed to hide from the cops and he would help them without a second thought. aziraphale says fuck the cops and fuck you too bootlickers, and he says it with a big bright smile.

Last night I went to a local city hearing on the noise ordinance. A city council person (not mine) was there, along with the city manager, and they showed a 5-point revision to the ordinance, along with 3 citizen-proposed amendments.

I was incredibly impressed and have such great faith in my local government. The 5 points they came up with were impeccable, each and every one addressed a major shortcoming. For example, they found a way to use cheaper noise-measuring equipment without affecting accuracy, and reduce the burden on city employees to measure noise levels.

There was also a move away from policing. One of the key reforms was that they were changing noise ordinance violations from a criminal offense to a civil offense. This would allow a city code inspector, rather than a police officer, to issue the violation. This right off the bat means less unnecessary police involvement in the community, fewer police showing up at people's homes.

On top of this, it means the appeal process can be initiated by the person who filed the complaint, something not possible under the old setup (it was left to the discretion of the responding officer, and if the officer didn't think it is a violation there is no recourse to appeal no matter how bad the noise is.) On top of this, the appeal process is now handled by a local city committee instead of a court, which makes it both much cheaper, and more accountable to the community because the city committees tend to be populated by local residents who are more networked into the community here.

So the reform (1) saves money in multiple ways, from equipment to policing costs to court costs (2) reduces appearances of armed police officers at homes or businesses (3) gives more power to people filing noise complaints (4) makes an easier and cheaper appeal process to people on either side of complaints (5) makes the ordinance faster and easier to enforce in certain cases such as complaints about stationary (industrial) noise.

All of this is happening on a time-scale of 4 months or so. I really hope it passes. I voiced my full support for all the proposed changes. I think it may have mattered too, as there were a few people who were opposing some of the changes and I think I voiced stronger support for the changes than anyone else present.

If you care about reducing unnecessary policing and reforming local laws, this is the kind of stuff you can get into.

Don't just go to protests, get involved in your local government. They may already be doing some good things and your voice may make a difference.
