By age 35, your 500-foot burial pyramid should already be 80% complete.

@batkaren By age 35, your clean room Unix-compatible operating system keenel should be well on its way to world domination.

@batkaren What if I just stacked the people who’ve disappointed me into a pyramid shape & shellacked em?

The Dark Uncaring Void recognizes that you’re perhaps trying to disguise your own terror as “having fun” and sees you trashing others as a way to compensate.

The Dark Uncaring Void knows you have empty abyss options and appreciates your patronage.

If you believe policing "used to be about serving and protecting," please know the institution was specifically created to maintain and control slave populations, and later used to enforce Jim Crow laws. The system is sadly operating exactly as intended.

@batkaren “Policing” as an institution wasn’t specifically created to control slave populations in the southern US. It took the form it did in the south because of the needs of the system in the south. The problem was the system, not policing in general.

The choice is whether you want to grant a monopoly on violence to the state, or you want to have disorganized vigilante violence and retribution by individual citizens (eg lynching).

Policing in the US doesn’t have to suck.
