To be absolutely clear, there is not actually any legitimate reason for any normal person to refer to these machines as a "robotic dog", or a "high-tech canine", or by a cutesy cliché name for a pet. These are robots. Robots that are being used by police forces on civilian populations. If the robots being used had two legs, or eight, they would not be able to apply such cuddly wuddly labels, and public alarm bells would be going off a lot louder.

They're Normalizing Robot Police By Calling Them "Dogs"

The way people are acting like trust in media-sanctioned narratives should be a given after those institutions literally JUST discredited themselves in front of everyone is insane. You don't have to believe anything odd about the virus or the vaccine to understand the distrust.

Blair criticizes the withdrawal as having been done out of "obedience to an imbecilic political slogan about ending 'the forever wars'," bloviating about “Radical Islam,” and asking, "has the West lost its strategic will?"

Bush-Era War Criminals Are Louder Than Ever Because They've Lost The Argument

Think about how many technological advancements there have been in the military over the last century. Our rulers have been refining their methods of manipulating our sensemaking abilities to their advantage throughout that entire time, and only a small minority of us have even begun to realize that that manipulation is even happening. We're just learning to play checkers while they're mastering 3-D chess.

I Can Feel It Coming In The Air Tonight - Cover

Wednesday 11wot 15jun22

An album of sound collage experiments I recorded almost 20 years ago that I recently found again. This is the first time these pieces have been released since I recorded these pieces in 2002 to 2003.
