For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

in the future, unnecessary wireless technology will be denormalized and deprioritized as signs of bourgeois decadence. the technology's use will be heavily restricted. all airpods will be retrofitted with 3.5 mm audio cables. wireless chargers embedded in furniture will be banned, destroyed, and recycled to make useful things.

[sugary-sheep]

this is my most luddite post ever but i hate hate hate hate hate the culture around wireless technology as it's been increasingly pushed by apple and other tech companies. i don't WANT stupid headphones that barely connect and need to be charged every 15 minutes and cost way more for worse audio quality i want to connect things with a CABLE that is plugged into a PORT because it is RELIABLE and it WORKS.

[sugary-sheep]

like. wireless devices have their own use cases, and i can easily imagine people preferring it in a lot of ways. but it is not a Replacement for any kind of wired technology, at least not to me; it is a sidegrade that is treated as an ~evolution~ because of an artificial push by the bourgeoisie.

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

man the public defender discourse pisses me off so bad. yeah. yeah I do think that every single person deserves representation. yeah that includes people who *have* committed rape and murder and abuse. when I say every single person I mean every single person. if your idea of justice excludes one person it excludes everyone. next question

[sentimentalslut]

“so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to sexual assault?” i’m saying I have.

“so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to domestic violence?” i’m saying i have.

"so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to child abuse?" i'm saying i have.

and i am saying i have given each and every one of those clients the same level of professionalism, effort, and zealous advocacy i have given my clients who are victims of the same. that is how due process works, and every person is guaranteed it.

i have nothing but respect and admiration for my colleagues in the public interest sector who represent those who have committed and/or been accused any and all crimes, no matter how "morally reprehensible" others may find them.

public defenders are among the best, brightest, and most selfless attorneys out there. they are on the front lines of combating the carceral state and protecting the rights of every day people. get it straight in your heads. thanks.

[brainscrems]

Being a public defender is one of the most essential and under-recognized jobs someone can do to help maintain our democracy. Fuck absolutely anyone and everyone who goes after them. If you’re against public defenders you are fighting for fascism. There’s nothing more to say on the matter.

[porcupine-girl]

Pretty much anytime people are trying to smear an ex-lawyer politician by saying "they represented murderers/pedophiles/whatever," what they really mean is "they were a public defender and made sure the system treated everyone fairly, which is the only way a judicial system can ever actually dispense justice." Sounds like someone we need more of in government.
