@mcc there's a bit here and there about how the robots can have sensory integration with their bodies beyond the capabilities of their sensorium, and that it is psychosomatic, but much in the same way as the word psychosomatic is thrown around in real life, it's still real to the individual experiencing it. so, she might just be cold.
It made me cry a little bit inside when I discovered that AOSP's SMS app doesn't support RCS despite it being an open protocol because it relies on a proprietary backend.
"Shockingly, the Miami Herald found that approximately two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held at Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades immigration detention center in July, were missing from ICE’s online database in August. Neither their attorneys nor their families know where they are. The United States government is now disappearing people."~ Julie Roginsky#Trump #StephenMiller #fascism #immigrants #ICE #MaskedThugs /1https://saltypolitics.substack.com/p/how-trump-gets-away-with-it
Trump claims that Portland is full of dangerous criminals and is a threat to the nation. He’s sending 200 National Guard troops and militarizing the city. How are these “dangerous” people fighting back? They’re organizing an emergency naked bike ride. That’s right… the country is under threat from naked bike riders. I love you Portland. Stay weird.#uspol #fascism #resist #portland
As a consoling thought, when you look outside of the so-called "Western World", it becomes clear that #FossiFuels have already lost.The surge in #fascism around here is in part a last-ditch effort to prop up a failing business model. This might "work" for a while, but it can only delay the end of the Fossil Fuel Age, not stop it.Which doesn't make fighting fascism unimportant, of course. Any harm we can stop, we should. But they _will_ lose this, in the end.
