“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.”

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Xfinity has just released its Jurassic Park-themed Super Bowl ad that features a digitally de-aged Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://bit.ly/4rmRhrK

Abandoned food carts.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

All of this, plus the Mexican Repatriation was enacted less than 100 years ago!
Also if you think you're safe becuase you're a citizen - you aren't. This is about the suspicions of a person in power, it's about racism, and you need to understand that Operations Wetback happened, Japanese Internment happened, the Chinese Exclusion Act happened, the "war on terror" happened.
