Adaisha Miller would have turned 38 years old today had her life not been cut short by off-duty Detroit Police Officer Issac Parrish while at his home during a party.
Adaisha's mother Yolanda McNair is featured in episode 3 of The Mothers Podcast. Yolanda shares her journey for justice, how starting her own organization (Protect Our Stolen Treasures, POST) helped turn her pain into power and how she’s activated women all across the country to do the same.

It started off “we’re going to arrest them and make them face justice”, then became “we’re going to expooooose!”, and now it’s “nothing to see here”.
It’s all so tiresome.
I’ll give Adam credit for accurately labeling (most) people on NAS as “not really political”; politics, the game of pretending that you have any say and that the demons may one day be exorcised from the country by voting, is retarded.
The real problem, obviously, is the gun manufacturers.

Missbrauch in der Psychotherapie - Wenn der Schutzraum zum Tatort wird
In Deutschland erkrankt fast jeder Zweite im Laufe seines Lebens an einer psychischen Störung. Therapieplätze sind rar. Vollbild-Recherchen zeigen, wie manche Therapeuten ihre Machtposition ausnutzen.
Außerdem, die Leute, die da in die geschlossene kommen sind oft untervögelt und die mit Depressionen in offenen Stationen auch.
Ich kenne so viele Fälle, bei denen sich 2 auf Therapie kennengelernt und ihren vögelbedarf nachgeholt haben.
Wenn dann Frau oder Mann Geilheit signalisiert, Menschen sind auch nur Tiere, kann ich mir vorstellen, daß Pfleger oder auch Ärzte diese Signale empfangen und es dann und wann zu Taten kommt.

Tech Companies Have Created a Loneliness Doom Loop
Tech companies have found a way to market digital goods to lonely people, promising relief through connection, but this kind of connection isn’t the solution; it’s the problem. Calling loneliness an epidemic transforms a feeling into a pathology to be cured, creating a loneliness economy. Reframing a universal human experience like loneliness as a medical diagnosis creates a market opportunity to manufacture, sell and buy treatment. The prescription given for loneliness is connection, and Big Tech has found a way to seize the vulnerability of lonely people eager to escape their predicament.Meta’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, argues that A.I. companions can help fill what he sees as a friendship gap. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, is developing an A.I. “companion” that will live with users and, the company claims, be capable of sensing their surroundings. Replika, a generative A.I. chatbot, touts customer claims like “I love my human-like A.I. companion” and “Replika understands me better than any real guy ever did.” “Friends come and go, but GalaxyAI has your back,” another ad reads. Social media, dating apps and A.I. companions won’t alleviate loneliness; they will make it worse by giving people a way to avoid their aloneness.

When tech hardware becomes paperweights
Now I have this blood pressure monitor device that doesn't work without a logged in app and is a paperweight. I'm lucky I never invested into their ecosystem of health products. Lesson is no matter how popular a brand is, there is no guarantee they will be around. I've lost all my health data and there is no way to get it back.

in reply to william.maggos • • •wait, wait.. You're actually implying that Bernie is *not* divisive? HOLY FUCK, that's classic.
Don't make me go get the 25-year "oligarchs" supercut. "Oligarchs", in Bernie's vernacular, means anyone with slightly more money than him. His three houses = just fine. Four houses? Sic 'em, Bolsheviks!

in reply to Sir Ryan Bemrose • • •that's why him and Rogan get along so well.
an oligarch isn't just rich. it implies that their wealth gives them much more influence over society than the rest of us. I will never understand how libertarian-minded folks focus almost exclusively on government control of their lives, but rarely on the influence that the very wealthy can have (or if they do, it's only certain rich people doing things they don't like).
