  • Every time I hear someone repeat “Idiocracy was a documentary” what I hear is “Brawndo’s got what plants crave.” Mostly because of the number of times I’ve heard it but I guess also because it feels like a part of concentrated apathy? I’m probably just irrationally sick of the phrase, but the frequency and mindlessness of it being said seems kinda hypocritical.








  • So stun gun gloves. That’s absolutely a weapon aimed at intimidation and “punishment” plain and simple. Stun guns aren’t tasers and can’t incapacitate someone in the same way. So they intend to use these on unarmed people. Even the most bastard cops know that stun guns make no sense for police.

    So these gloves are super fucked and really exactly what a fascist force would like to use on people, but honestly it’s so blatant this is going nowhere. The first time these were used a judge would rip ICE a new one. I’ll bet everyone forgets about this pretty fast and the gloves never happen.

    There are cheaper options, but I love my phone sized Boox Palma 2. It runs android on a midrange spec chip, so you can do pretty much whatever you want with it, including Libby and old libraries that might be locked to an app.

    If you want to go smaller and the other direction on functionality, the Xteink X4 is cheap and really interesting. It runs on a hackable esp32 and will magsafe to the back of your phone.
