so I heard this story on the radio yesterday:

and my immediate thought was "okay so if someone is acquitted the state is like 'we shouldn't have to cover the cost of their stay in the prison because they shouldn't have been there in the first place" which is, of course, utterly fucked up.

but no... it's worse than that.... it's because pay-to-stay incarceration in the United States is a thing... as in it's common practice for prison inmates to be charged for their stay in prison (https://truthout.org/articles/fighting-the-fees-that-force-prisoners-to-pay-for-their-incarceration/). This was news to me.

Fighting the Fees That Force Prisoners to Pay for Their Incarceration

''Pay-to-stay'' fees push the poor into debt.

this is "we're billing the guilty for their stay; the acquitted should have to pay us for their stay too"

so yeah not only does mass incarceration thrive off of prisoners' free labor it also thrives off of prisons billing inmates like some sort of fucking Holiday Inn

Just when I think I have a strong grasp of the atrocities of the prison industrial complex, I learn something newly horrifying

this is a thing! danah boyd is a researcher who has been studying social media for over a decade and in her 2014 book it’s complicated she argues that teenage social media “addiction” (which she also contends is like…..not actually a thing) is a result of the fact that “today’s teenagers have less freedom to wander than any previous generation” because “parents argue that these restrictions are necessary in an increasingly dangerous society, even though the data suggest that contemporary youth face fewer dangers than they did twenty years ago.”

as a result, teenagers are reclaiming these lost social spaces (which their parents and grandparents had in the form of mall hangouts, drive-in theaters, after school parking lots, etc) by using social media, where they can continue to “engage in crucial aspects of maturation: self-presentation, managing social relationships, and developing an understanding of the world around them,” aka stuff that teens are Supposed to be doing

Broke: Disney should make 2D movies again

Woke: Disney should be dissolved and their assets and resources redistributed, partly opening up more room for other artists or groups thereof to have a chance against a near monopolistic studio

[elfwreck]

Bespoke: Disney should release all works before 1964 into the public domain, based on the laws under which they were published, so that today’s communities could build on their works the same way they built an empire on folklore and popular works that were in the public domain.

[nyctosaurid]

not 2 exaggerate but the good place’s thesis of “if the modern pressures of life were removed, we would inherently seek out opportunities to learn and become better and kinder people” is a more interesting and valuable thing to say about society than anything that’s ever been said about cell phones
