@ryanmcdiarmid.com deleted cause I don't want people to take it the wrong way, I'm just like what does my old ass have to do with stories about high schoolers and why's that gotta be most of what exists in that medium. I don't think it's good for the adults who make that their whole media diet.

i looked at this earlier and the article is very careful not to say what actually happened but if you know history and you know this administration it is impossible not to assume programatic eugenics and anyone involved in programatic eugenics should not be allowed to see the sun ever again

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

On Halloween we might do an Otogirisō 12hr (24??) livestream + analog recording party. I'd Narrate, we'd take some savepoint Gravity Loop writer / game dev / evp / commentary chat breaks, so the recording can be split up as an audiobook style longplay for Patreon and YouTube

making art is all problem solving. in a broad sense I think art is our celebration of problem solving: that we can think and feel and deploy strategies to act upon our thoughts and feelings, and that we can observe and think about other peoples' strategies, towards their own aims.

people are misled into believing art should be conjured fully formed, moments after its conception, and exist as automatically as the natural world does. but nature is flame, and all our schemes are the shadow it casts. learning and relearning that is the point.

Confusion Interwoven As we speak

I generally think we should be much harder on ppl running for office who plead ignorance about their own dumb choices because we should not be giving incurious, uninformed, glib adult children power to govern. Some “youthful follies” are signposts for a person’s lack of growth.

All of this stuff makes more sense I think if you realize that we have a bunch of losers who are slowly talking themselves into believing in the theology/ideology of slavery www.liberalcurrents.com/sex-is-gay-r...
