Would you, as an adult, drink the milk of another person? Then why would you drink cow's milk?

"While cows suffer on these farms, humans who drink their milk increase their chances of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other ailments."
My mother has always told me NOT to drink cow's milk. I don't. Like, I don't even consume beef.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
One of the worst features of the old spoils system was the ruthless cruelty and brutality it so often bred in the treatment of faithful public servants without political influence. Life is hard enough and cruel enough at best, and this is as true of public service as of private service. Under no system will it be possible to do away with all favoritism and brutality and meanness and malice. But at least we can try to minimize the exhibition of these qualities.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 5 “Applied Idealism” (1913)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/8…

To get a better understanding of what Roger Waters and Mona Miri will show you, I like you to watch the 4 pictures that I post as a reply to this Toot before you watch this version of 'Comfortably Numb'.
Thanks.

Ukraine update from Giorgio Provincialli.
Russia bombing leads to wildfires raging in Chernobyl, spreading radioactive ash and dust laden smoke across the land.
Just another example of Russia's environmental war of sterilizing what it can not occupy.
Wastelands, the legacy of Russian "peace".

Well, those are my objections on moral grounds. From a practical point of view, surely it’s obvious that to punish thieves and murderers in precisely the same way is not only absurd but also highly dangerous for the public.
If a thief knows that a conviction for murder will get him into no more trouble than a conviction for theft, he’s naturally impelled to kill the person that he’d otherwise merely have robbed. It’s no worse for him if he’s caught, and it gives him a better chance of not being caught, and of concealing the crime altogether by eliminating the only witness.
So in our efforts to terrorize thieves we’re actually encouraging them to murder innocent people.
[Non licere putem. Quam uero sit absurdum, atque etiam perniciosum reipublicae furem, atque homicidam ex aequo puniri, nemo est, opinor, qui nesciat.
Nempe quum latro conspiciat non minus imminere discriminis duntaxat furti damnato, quam si praeterea conuincatur homicidij, hac una cogitatione impellitur in caedem eius, quem alioqui fuerat tantum spoliaturus. quippe praeterquam quod deprehenso nihil sit plus periculi, est etiam in caede securitas maior, & maior caelandi spes sublato facinoris indice.

The Lovely War
Donald Trump threatens Iran the way he once threatened a recalcitrant steak: same wounded, flinty, infant-king fury. A working homage to Martin Amis -- on the Epstein flights, the six-billion-dollar goon squad, the taunting of a proud civilisation, and a nine-year-old girl in Minab waiting for the water that is her birthright. The infant-king has other plans. -

"Public pressure has helped to free some of them—Mariela Sobrero Chillitupa and her three children, for example, were released last weekend—but the harsh reality is that many more children are still inside, coping with inadequate food, unsanitary conditions, and the rapid spread of disease."

"The online celebration of 5-year-old Liam Ramos’s release from a detention center in Dilley, Texas was tempered by the awareness that many other kids remain trapped in terrible conditions, often with their entire families."

"The alliteratively named detention centers are facing a massive backlash, because it turns out that the public cares much more about rampant child abuse than a catchy name."

"They are containment areas that will be used as a tool to get people to want to leave the country.
But don't worry. A note from one of the officials advocating for the facility notes that 'our team and engineers believe the solutions above, and the contingencies, will provide no adverse effect on the community and surrounding properties.'"

"What's discussed is not the moral effect that hosting thousands of people targeted by ICE will have on the community but, instead, what effect there might be on water and electrical supplies.
These are not 'dormitory pods' meant to provide a place to sleep to people waiting to hear the status of their immigration cases."

"Nearly 5,000 of them, including some for detainees with disabilities. Row after row, cage after cage. In the full document, seen at the town's website, another 3,000-plus 'pods' are to be built in a 'mezzanine.'
The presentation about the facility is striking because it's so anodyne."

"Meanwhile, who are the people that get arrested all the time for soliciting minors? It’s almost always a pastor or a youth leader, and it’s almost invariably a Republican. ...
This is more blood on the hands of the Roberts Court. In Heller, they sided with the gun people, and they said, 'We need more gun violence. We need more death by gun violence.' In Dobbs, they said, 'We need no abortions. We need pregnant women to die more.' And now this."

"The Republican Party loves to make it seem like there’s these guys in dresses that skulk around in bathrooms to try to get little girls—whatever it is, I don’t even know what they’re thinking. They’re trying to instill this fear that that’s a situation that actually happens."

"This cruelty isn't just an attack on trans youth; it's an attack on all of us. The same forces that seek to erase trans children today will come for the rest of us tomorrow."

"The right wanted to turn these issues — largely non-issues in the vast majority of people’s lives — into Big Issues of Major Concern. They tried for years care of the right-wing noise machine, and that pushed the stories out. Then, however, the people who wanted to make trans kids’ lives an issue convinced some mainstream publications to pick up this as their issue."

"Wednesday was the result of a long-term campaign that ultimately succeeded. As same-sex couples succeeded in obtaining marriage equality in 2015, the far-right organizations who had used their opposition to those couples’ marriage rights to fund their work needed a new cause.
The far right moved on to attacking transgender people."

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?
In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.
