I ran into this about a year ago.

The company is Matthews Environmental Services. There was a DHS convention with several companies in 2025, including the ones that sold the pop-up concentration camps. Whether or not Matthews received a contract or not, I don’t know, but they were listed on the convention site. They advertised turning biowaste into fuel—but if you look into them more you can find a YouTube video of them advertising cremation and perfect extraction of valuable medical devices and other metals from grandma’s body. It’s also worth mentioning that Curtis Yarvin promoted doing exactly this sort of thing with undesirables, and there are those who seem to venerate him even now.

I think we’d know if anything was happening at scale, but every time a detainee goes missing, I admit I do wonder.

This is amazing. I was aware it could happen in other species, I suspected it could happen in humans, but this is the first time I’ve read an article that confirms it.

Been there. Not the Trump voter part, but the spending-hours-days-weeks-months- down-a-rabbit-hole. Hope he drinks plenty of water and takes care.

From what I understand, household gods were very common — personal traditions about a small god that perhaps your family worshipped for generations and had a small shrine to for protection. Some of these were picked up and developed into more general purposes for a larger audience.

The Romans in particular also had a habit of picking up local deities for a larger pantheon, in these cases less of choosing gods, it was more like reducing some gods with very elaborate lore down to just a few specific traits. Though of course some gods were invented by storytellers on the spot and picked up.

Why. Whyyy. Why is this man at the wheel??

I mean I know why, it’s because no one told gramps he’s too senile to drive, but why are we sitting in the back seat??

You’re not wrong, but this man has already clearly accepted that things may go wrong one day. He’s decided that taking a stand is still worth the effort. And since we know there will be a smear campaign, posting what he’s doing alongside a reminder that his efforts are legal may at least slow down that campaign.

Ah yes, give them baby face. That will make them more intimidating.

Firefighter. Willing to bet AI won’t touch it anytime soon.

To quote a favorite singer of mine,

You could fill a man with gold, and still have room for greed.

If you’re already in computer science, go into cybersecurity, learn to hack AI. That’s the next big thing. AI has immense vulnerabilities.
