Cruelty is no joke. That’s why I don’t like practical jokes; ultimately, cruelty lurks in every practical joke to some degree or other.

This goes way beyond joking.

Cop-Blocked 0

Ta-Nehisi Coates has this to say:

Those who are demoralized by these protests would do well to read James Fallows’s cover story on the American military this month. The same cloak of puffed grandeur and bombast that surrounds our army can be detected in our police. Jim is describing a society that has taken its hands off the wheel. Give us safety now (real or imagined), goes the agreement, and we won’t ask about what comes later. Until some critical mass of Americans decides that police cannot, all at once, wield the lethal power of gods and the meager responsibilities of mortals, change is unlikely.

Misdirection Play, Thin Blue Line Dept. 0

Discussing Ismaaiyl Brinsley’s murder of two NYPD officers, Tony Norman exposes the empty cynicism of right-wing talking points. A nugget:

Mr. Lynch (New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association head Pat Lynch–ed.) insists that a man suspected of three shootings — two fatal — in one day was the extension of those who dared question the legitimacy of police training and tactics in lethal encounters with unarmed civilians.

Though it is a tenuous, nonsensical argument any kid taking high school philosophy could demolish, it is one that has emotional resonance for those who are uncomfortable with challenges to authority, even where it is most warranted.

There’s an App for That 0

The Driving while Black app purports to instruct Not White persons on how the be properly subservient when rousted by the cops.

How about a “Rousting while Blue app” to help cops not kill innoce–oh, never mind.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
