I've read accounts from the 1840s and 50s. The living conditions never changed despite reassurances from despots, employers referred to as "masters," and the bureaucrats who relayed their assurances. Residents are referred to as "inmates."

My great great grandfather, Patrick, left in 1886. His family joined him in Chicago the following year. My great great great grandfather and grandmother were casualties of the famine. I lose the record in Ayr and harbor no curiosity to learn more . . .
They must have kicked up quite a row, because there's a surprising amount written about a remote immigrant people who were all but human captives in their work, and at home.

@MichaelRapaport @nbcsnl I didn't watch @elonmusk and I won't. Tesla isn't interested in saving the environment. They're destroying it. Elon's not looking for solutions. He wants control. He's lying about his company's beneficent intentions, which has acquired large government contracts.
@MichaelRapaport @nbcsnl @elonmusk @elonmusk wants to be the next Henry Ford: goose step, protocols and all. How many Nazis do you think preached "compassionate conservatism?" The only reason he described Dogecoin as a hustle is to distract from the fact that all of cryptocoin is a hustle.
@MichaelRapaport @nbcsnl @elonmusk The only value in cryptocurrency is its anonymity and selective illegality. Cryptocurrency was designed to evade government regulatory agencies. Every dollar invested in cryptocoin enables human captivity, domestic terrorism and and drug trafficking.

A not-so communal quote from Friedrich Engels . . .
"Drink is the only thing which makes the Irishman’s life worth having, drink and his cheery care-free temperament; so he revels in drink to the point of the most bestial drunkenness . . .
. . . The southern facile character of the Irishman, his crudity, which paces him little above the savage, his contempt for all humane enjoyments, in which his very crudeness makes him incapable of sharing, his filth and poverty, all favour drunkenness."

“. . . reporters who felt they had committed ethical breaches in the course of their work had much higher levels of psychological distress.”
I once engaged in a deeply philosophical conversation with a Liberal, Indian royal whose education was financed by Honda. He taught machines to recognize human faces.
At one point he defended Oppenheimer by saying, "Well, he suffered significant psychological stress due to pronounced criticism."

@mattyglesias If people are "sniping" you, it's probably because Liberal anti-science propaganda is only a pale shade morally less repugnant than fascist anti-science propaganda.
@mattyglesias "Allow me to repeat that in case you didn’t catch it the first time: the structure that HIV uses to evade the human immune system, COVID uses to evade humanity’s defense systems."

@mattyglesias "COVID is a deadly, aerosolized pathogen that approaches an infection rate on par with measles that generates one new mutation per mammalian host every two weeks."

This narrative of "'the Rapture" is charged with mythos, making it highly attractive to a people deprived of mythos and community, which includes most people on planet Earth, but it hinges on magical thinking.
The Shakers referred to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Prior to the Civil War, 9 out of 10 Shakers left the society to re-join "the World's people," and these Utopian Reformers discussed a Cooperative Commonwealth.
The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth was only discussed as an inevitability by the Shakers because they couldn't conceive of a world where people give up on such a project. The Cooperative Commonwealth was always meant to be built by humankind; not delivered on a platter after tragedy.

I received the J&J vaccine and would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of global vaccine equity. Thank you @POTUS, the US central government and @USCongress.
1st noticeable side effect: arcs of shooting needle-like pain followed by significant arm soreness.
Side effects (continued): aches throughout the body radiating from the injection site; that tingling feeling of spiders crawling up the spine and nerve endings when one feels sick with infection (malaise); slight nausea; fatigue; a desire for chicken soup.
