- Comment on [CW: Animal Cruelty] 370 billion crickets are farmed for food every year. Scientists have discovered they may feel pain 6 hours ago:
We’ve seen so many reports that “scientists have discovered <insert animal here> may feel pain.” What would be surprising is to discover that some animal doesn’t feel pain. There’s no good reason to doubt they feel pain in the first place. I’ve also come across people asking “do animals have minds?” or “can animals think?” and again there’s no reason really to entertain the notion that they don’t. No good reason, that is, but if we keep pretending animals are fundamentally different from ourselves, we don’t have to face our knowledge (and we do know, but we don’t want to feel it) that they suffer when we continually abuse them.

- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 9 months ago:
That’s exactly why the oligarchs want to shut it down. If ordinary people thrive, they will be less easy to control and to farm for wealth.
- Comment on Fund managers worry about Trump’s mental state amid tariff debacle 1 year ago:
Not to question most of what you said, but he’s only 78 years old.
