my favorite part of this whole thing tbh

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

POV: you are using the bathroom in someone else's home. my home, perhaps. you linger after washing your hands, examining the decor before you rejoin the party. on the back of the toilet is a crisp-edged box, the length of a shoebox but narrower, made of pale gray unvarnished wood and inlaid with little geometric chips of mother of pearl. it has a small ornamental clasp to fasten it, but no lock. you run your fingertips along its meticulously sanded surface. it is cool to touch. you're curious what might be kept in such a box. you finger the little brass clasp open and flip up the lid. inside the box, resting on a clean white folded dish towel, are two warm hamburgers, their buns soft, the edges of the flattened beeves feathery where they peek out. the burgers are serving temperature and appear perfectly fresh.

[maidsimulator]

dunno how to beeves feathery but I think this is a good attempt:

Version with a bit more resolution hereeeee.

WHAT IN THE FUCK

[im-mender]

beeves fucking real??

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

beeves fucking real.

i think my other favorite response this post got was a DM that said "usually when you write this many words it's erotica about rape so i kept waiting for this to turn into porn & was confused"

[mias-back-from-the-dead]

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

Shout out to the guy who wanted to do some fun & silly little reviews but uncovered an illegal gambling operation

(Review 2)

[json-derulo]

this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime

[wedding-funeral-waitress]

JasperDasper started out just curious why everything had suddenly become about trans people and questioning some of the sources used in a book. He came out of it, 4 years later, with a 5 hour long video that connects all transphobia to less than 60 people. (I'm not joking. literally every single transphobic rhetoric and bill passed is because of these 50 or so people.)

If you wanna watch it I cannot recommend it enough; I just warn that it covers a LOT.

Story is wild

Little girl was part of a county fair agro-educational program where they raise an animal for a few months and at the end it’s slaughtered. Supposed to teach them about the economics of farming and stuff.

But the little girl loved her goat so much she was crying on the day her goat was supposed to be taken away, so her mom sent the county fair people an email saying “I’ll pay for the goat and any expenses. We’ve had several deaths in the family in the past year, I don’t wanna take away one more thing my little girl loves.” Technically the goat had already been sold at auction, so the mom was on the hook for about $1000, only about $70 of which would have been profit for the county fair.

The county fair people were irate and got law enforcement involved, over this “breach of contract”. They literally got a fucking judge to sign a search warrant, authorizing them to go to this little girl’s house and search every room and every cabinet or box “large enough to contain a small goat”. The sheriff’s deputies seized the goat, and whoever they gave it to immediately slaughtered it, though they were supposed to wait until some kind of agreement had been worked out.

In the county fair’s initial email correspondence with the girl’s mother, they made it clear that they were pissed off because the story of the little girl who loved her goat was circulating on social media making them look bad, and they felt the girl needed to be taught a lesson about keeping your promises or whatever. So they refused the mother’s offer to pay for it, and insisted they get the goat. Even if it meant sending the fucking cops into her house lmao.

[kunosoura]

the congressman who bought the goat didn’t have any objections to the family saving the goat from slaughter either! it’s fucking insane that the cops were so eager to play act their swat commando fantasies that they played stooge to the benefit of no one except some self important local organizers!

Alternate link, LAtimes locks their stuff behind paywalls sometimes

[theelectricfrog]

Don’t forget the part where the goat wasn’t where they had a warrant to search, so they drove 500 miles, leaving the area they have legal jurisdiction in, then searched a farm they didn’t have a warrant for ans seized the goat. The fair then had the goat slaughtered, even though a court had ordered them to keep it alive until ownership was resolved and despite the fact that both potential owners of the goat had decided to keep it alive.

They broke multiple laws in order to “teach” a little girl the “lesson” that “everybody has to follow the rules”.

I sure hope all of the complaints sent to Shasta District Fair CEO Melanie Silva, whose decisions these were and continues to defend her actions, are polite and don’t waste too much ink. I’m certain nobody would take advantage of the fact that the Sasha District Fair and Event Center’s contact page lists their phone and fax numbers, not to mention the email form below that.

Would be a shame if that information was to circulate far an wide, and ruin that despicable woman's easter holidays

I found the lawsuit filing. It is a work of art, brief and to the point. If you read nothing else, check out page 2, the section headed Nature of the Action. Magnificent.

[bisquid]

One of the things that bugs me in the notes is a bunch of people being like 'it's a livestock animal, it's her fault for getting attached' and.

My dudes, I cannot emphasize enough that the little girl's emotional attachment to the goat is in fact the least of the issues with this story. The main issue in this story is the fact that a bunch of cops broke multiple laws, including the unlawful entry to the property the goat was being held, the unlawful seizure and destruction of said goat, and the unlawful use of a criminal search warrant in a civil dispute case, just to start with.

The little girl owned the goat. At no point in the proceedings - and indeed at no point in the proceedings in the course of the normal auction-purchase-slaughter of a livestock animal in this program - did the fair own the goat. At no point in the proceedings did the person who successfully bid on the goat actually own it - he had made the winning bid to purchase rights to the meat. He hadn't even done that yet! The goat legally and incontrovertibly belonged to the little girl. The very worst that should have happened in this story is a brief property ownership dispute in a civil court.

The fair CEO decided to unlawfully force the auction of the goat, and, when the girl's mother began to dispute her actions, to make a false claim of theft, with precisely ZERO legal basis, calling the cops on an already emotionally fragile child, and then had the temerity to be angry with the child's mother because the story was making them look bad on social media.

Regardless of your opinion on the meat industry, livestock slaughter, or 4H, 'cops drive 500 miles, perform an illegal search, seizure and destruction of an American citizen's property, on the word of a biased 3rd party with zero legal rights to the property in question' should make you angry. Because it is a violation of civil rights, and also had no motive besides needless cruelty to an already grieving child.

News to know: The next court update on this is sometime in October 2024. I'm watching this case because it covers a lot of different facets of how contracts work, minors rights, property rights in the face of law enforcement seizures and searches, and how does one county fair have so much brutality to wield against a then-nine-year-old. I would not be surprised if this gets bogged down again with more counter-suits. It's absolutely ghoulish that they're doing all this over less than 1000$ of goat and one little girls grief. I hope that the judge who sees this case knows just how dangerous it is to dismiss, since this is a matter of third-party property rights infringement using law enforcement agents as bludgeons. The Sheriffs *cannot* be allowed to maintain extrajudicial authority.

UPDATE:

GIRL WINS $300,000

After deputies took her pet goat to be butchered, girl wins $300,000 from Shasta County

Shasta County agreed to pay $300,000 to settle a lawsuit over a decision to use deputies to seize a girl's pet goat to be slaughtered. It's

I'm a bit frustrated with Ken Klippenstein giving up this terrifying headline when the content of his piece says

meaning the FBI will go out of its way to surveil trans people and try to find trans connections in their investigations of domestic extremism

AKA what they have been doing already

[gaytanic-panic]

For example, if anyone in ur local community group chat starts talking about stockpiling unregistered firearms and "Hey, where are we gonna go do some violent crimes?" they're a Fed, but also you should have fucking known that by now!

[gaytanic-panic]

So now we have a memo from Heritage making suggestions on how to implement this, and they directly link it to COINTELPRO and shit they did to muslims during the 2000s

Which is to say, they know they cannot eradicate the community. But they figure they could maybe get some people somewhere arrested on things like gun charges or violations of state law.

I'm skeptical of how well they could even roll that out, given what we have seen from the FBI lately. They aren't exactly bringing that old school competence.

But yeah, be cautious, dont let people invite you to do something violent, and don't go talking on discord about felonies. Basic personal security stuff.

[dumbpuppyfag]

i'm old enough, i remember how they treated trayvon martin, this was a kid who got lynched for walking on the wrong street and they called his murderer a hero. they dragged trayvon's name through the mud, they called him every terrible thing under the sun and blamed him for his own murder. meanwhile if you even acknowledge the things that charlie kirk objectively was, the way he promoted himself, the things he proudly did, you're a disgusting monster. forgive me if i can't take that shit seriously

That was one of the most beautiful sequences I have ever seen.

[scurviesdisneyblog]

That’s because Marahute was animated by none other than Glen Keane, who storyboarded this magnificent sequence as well. He’s the legendary animator behind Ariel, Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Tarzan. Glen is famous for his extraordinary dedication to bringing his characters to life. For the Rescuers Down Under, he thoroughly studied eagle anatomy, and here are a few of his notes.

bluesky moderation is currently experiencing piss-gate (that i am somehow involved in) which reminds me quite a lot of a certain hammer car incident from this website

Bluesky’s moderation team has suspended dozens of people for saying "rest in piss" while sharing posts about Charlie Kirk.

WHEEZING LAUGHTER AT THIS PART OF THE STORY

[space-feminist]

i feel like "feminist" anti-kink sentiment is very tail-wagging-the-dog. like male doms playing out bdsm scenes of abuse are not oppressing their female subs that's acting. you're mad at acting. you're those aliens from galaxy quest. same with fearmongering about "booktok". however an eroticized version of patriarchal dynamics being a popular kink DOES speak to the pervasiveness of sexism, bc eroticizing the oppression is a way of coping with living under it. it's women creating a fantasy world where men being menacing to them is sexy and not scary like it is irl, or where it is still scary but in the fun way like a horror movie bc you can tap out at any time by using a safe word or putting the book down. acting like this sort of kink is oppressing women is like if you assumed the thermometer controlled the weather outside. it might be depressing to look at the thermometer and see the impact of climate change, but it's not the thermometer's fault

[phaeton-flier]

You guys are all aware that they trained people for those civil rights protests, right? That the people doing sit ins had to be trained to keep their cool as white people screamed invectives and pouring drinks on them? It was a very organized operation.

[hbbisenieks]

One of the greatest lies that recent American history has perpetuated is the idea that Rosa Parks was "just a tired Black woman who wanted to sit down on the bus" and not a motivated activist who trained with other civil rights luminaries and very intentionally got on that bus specifically to get arrested about it.

Can you think of a reason why they might not want you to know that the people staging sit-ins and getting arrested for sitting on the bus were trained and organized?
