Look we all want a robo dog but if you kill someone with a sledgehammer to steal theirs, they are going to find you. There's no way a 75k$ dog doesn't have gps

we are killing the dog

NO.
ALL DOGS ARE PRECIOUS.
Even robot ones.

its not a dog, its a machine used and designed for police surveillance and the entire reason they made it dog shaped is so idiots like you would go "awwww robot dog how precious" instead of seeing them as the oppressive tools they are.

we're killing the fucking dog

That's not a robot dog.

It's a four-legged robot spider.

It is not a dog, a spider, a chicken, a horse, a fish, a tick, a mosquito, a tapeworm or a baby

It is a weapon

There is nothing morally wrong about breaking weapons that are hurting people for any reason other than to prevent those people from hurting others worse

the dog robots are fully capable of hurting people, and badly. failsafes that would prevent that have not been installed. the police are deploying a thing out in public that can maim anyone who touches it wrong.

look, when i was a kid i was passionately in love with the idea of robots--that humans would one day create another sort of intelligence to share our world with-- and believed very firmly that we should respect and protect all our robot friends from the start, so there would be no violent humans-against-robots revolution or anything.

anyway it turns out that the people trying to keep end-stage capitalism running are really banking on us feeling more love for the robots than for the kind of people they're going to be using the robots to oppress.

so like. maybe lets all agree right now that if a robot is being used to hurt a person, you need to smash the fucking robot. they're going to make the robots really cute. they're going to show us so many movies about how much robots need to be loved. and then they are going to use robots to hurt people.

let's try not to fall for it, okay?

And don't forget that scary af episode of Black Mirror, Metalhead. Robot dogs can fuck right off.

They created a weapon, told you to call it a friend and watched as your empathy became their trap and tool. 

Real life dogs are oftentimes weapons as well

People who exploit animals will often exploit humans too. They’re exploiting the cuteness of animals to manipulate you and the potential danger of dogs to control you.

So if we’re being intersectional about this, also be cautious about people who use animals as tools.

French people raised half a million. Half a fucking million for the family of the cop who murdered Nahel Merzouk, an Algerian boy.

Well we don’t know the value of an Algerian life in France but we sure now know the reward for killing one.

To all the French people who say France is not racist fuck you. To all the Europeans who pretend to be so much better than the US a huge fuck you. To all the people getting a hard on over France fuck you. To all the people who even think about mentioning how destroying public property is bad fuck you. Fuck everyone who is not revolted by what happened.

If there’s a way to donate to Nahel’s family please do it if you can.

I thought I had shared the link for Nahel’s family but apparently I didn’t do it on tumblr. Thank you for your reblog it reminds me to do it. The link to help Nahel’s family (mom and grandma) is here

The cop is now a millionaire. Becoming a millionaire less than a week after killing an Algerian teen. All that money a support for the murder. It doesn’t even matter if the government cancel the crowdfunding now because the message was sent.

Donate to the family of the actual victim if you can. The link is just in the previous reblog.

Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse

First time I saw that was a guy who had as proposition to create fake prey animals with a robotic exoskeleton and covered in synthetic meat that predators would hunt, eat and then the exoskeleton would get up and go to the lab to get re meated. That was funny as hell

Tiger watching skinless carcass it just ate get up and walk away

Actually we should totally do this but not for like ideological veganism reasons just cuz itd be funny as like an animal social experiment.

doing this with real meat so there's not even a hypothetical animal rights angle, just completely unwarranted and unmitigated freak behavior

You're always talking about your damn grain tributaries. As if they're anything special.

You're just jealous because your tributaries are 34% millet and your peasants are weakened by scurvy. You are jealous of the fertile river delta I control with several magnificent forts.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Your horse archers could never hope to best mine. Your bronze is of inferior quality.

Mad because my river delta means my cities can only be besieged by naval forces you don't have.

Jumping up and down furiously and demanding that my court poets draft declamatory verses comparing you to a mandrill.

I am unaffected by your epic poetry because of my bountiful grain tributaries

i get that this is just a function of being on the media liker website where all discussions get rerouted to media liking but it is still really funny how often a post on here will be talking about some massive social issue people have been debating for literally hundreds of years and just casually drop the assertion that Fandom Has Ruined Your Morals like i really don't think the spirk fanfic is the reason people fantasise about retributive justice but alright

I think everyone needs to start posting about how many people have been coming out in solidarity with trans people everywhere in the US especially in vulnerable states, because I’m really touched by what happened at the University of Iowa. These kids shut it down because it’s not just a youtube bigot on their campus it’s so much bigger than that! This is huge

People ARE coming out and packing courthouses and protesting on campuses and in the middle of your town and city in defense of trans people in great numbers. Very few people attended this loser’s speech and were publicly shamed for it. There are literally more of us than there are of them and I think we need to keep saying that

Platforming good things is crucial right now.

Bombarding people will every possible variation of horrible that's going on right now reaches a threshold where it's no longer useful and only fosters despair. It makes people think there's no point, no hope for anything.

But there is! The hateful minority IS that, hateful and a minority. And every time people come in and show support, it's important to put it out. It's important to let ourselves be validated. We're not alone, we're not ignored, we're not facing this fight isolated and without hope.

Be informed, absolutely, but make sure you're not poisoning yourself, letting those who hate you paint a world where you're alone and no one cares. Solidarity matters, and it's out there, if you look for it. Platform it.

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

Every week some streamer chud jettisons their extremely easy and profitable career of literally playing video games for a living because they simply HAVE to comment on the Transgender Question on Twitter

Imagine getting to make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling Fortnite skins and Raid Shadow Legends to middle schoolers, quite possibly the easiest way anyone has ever made exorbitant amounts of wealth ever, and risking it cause trans people drive you that fucking insane. Thousands of years of human social evolution and unequal wealth distribution leading you to a lifestyle kings and emperors of yore could not glimpse in their wildest imagination and i just. i just gotta tweet about the Drag Queens

This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home…. Impressive !! MINNESOTA CLYDESDALE

why are moose so terrifyingly large

Because they’re pretty much legit surviving Ice Age megafauna and almost everything was bigger back then

his moose leaves for a few weeks to Fuck

if you would like to try and stop the moose leaving for a few weeks to Fuck you are welcome to try, buddy
