how animals are treated differently in the legal system depending on their function - not their ability to feel pain

a man gets sentenced to jail time for hanging a dog - "The Judge wanted to send a clear message about animal abuse" -
wnep.com/2014/08/15/jai…
The Wiles Hog Pig Farm is found not guilty of animal abuse in its practice of hanging pigs by hooking a chain to a tractor, looping it around the pig's neck and lifting him into the air (while farm hands watched)..
Viewers of the video–portions of which were shown on at least one Cleveland-area television station multiple times–saw a convulsing animal suffering for a full five minutes in the kind of agony euthanasia is supposed to stop not cause.

the entire trial here - about 43 minutes into the video
the message being that the legal system condemns abuse of companion animals - but condones - and protects in many cases - abuse of farm animals.
#animalabuse
entire trial about 43 minutes into the HBO documentary

1/This care partner's tale in 9 tweets.
Son 35 yrs. Undetected spondylolysthesis and other musculoskeletal issues uncovered at 13 yrs due primarily to onset of pain during a period of rapid growth.
2/ First emergency spine fusion at 15 yrs after 2 yrs of medical profession denying that kids have pain. Teens are an invisible health care population.
Columbine happened in this period.
Every teenage boy in America had a target on their forehead.
Pain became 'kid wants drugs"
3/ Fusion failed. #FailedBackSurgerySyndrome
Blame the kid for failure to heal. Medical message: Shift the blame. Teach the kid that cure is his fault.
Teenage cutting, self-harm distracts from daily pain.
Back into surgical revision2 @ 16.

The FBI is spending its time on this single Hamilton ticket. No wrongdoing is alleged. Meanwhile, the president makes domestic and foreign policy decisions based on where he currently owns or may potentially acquire property.
I’ve been talking about this ad nauseum lately but one clear area where the racial disparity in our criminal system is most evident is in the prosecution of public officials
Black politicians regularly are prosecuted and sentenced to jail time for things that aren’t even investigated in cities and towns with white leadership

In light of the Kavanaugh situation, I wonder how common it is to have false accusations of sexual misconduct in our society.
To this day, such a case has irrevocably attached itself to the reputation of Rolling Stone. archive.is/H8hAN

My god, you're right. This changes everything. How dare these unborn children have the gall to falsify their birth certificates and live here illegally and... and... WORK and... it's all just too horrible.
"OKAY EVERYONE LOAD UP THE TRAINS! We got a hot tip from a couple of midwives! They've blown the whole Mexican immigration racket wide open! NO I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATES! I told you, they're fake!"
"Due process? Get real, dude. If we give one of these people due process they're all going to fucking want it. You want to do paperwork or you want to truck some fucking Latinos to a concentration camp? I thought so."

lots of interesting responses to my tweet on code as liability. let's clear a few things up.

first, liability doesn't just mean "thing that causes problems". the primary definition is actually "thing you are responsible for."
if i had my snarky ops pants on, i would ask why such a visceral reaction to the idea of being responsible for your own creations? do they perhaps ... suck to operate?

but i'm a ceo now, i don't throw the easy punches.
for all the people grousing about how green diffs are necessary to move the business forward: believe me, i completely fucking agree.

but you can't clean up the problem by lecturing the people being shit on downstream. it starts at the source: good clean software ownership.
