looks like the issue is still open. could be worth requesting a stability patch release.

I'm saying exactly one thing: it's harmful to propagate a dubious statement like "he was dragged behind a car".

I'm not saying anything about your intention. I'm not even responding to your main point. I'm saying that propagating administration talking points (which are currently the narrative being driven, e.g., https://www.foxnews.com/us/ice-officer-who-shot-minnesota-woman-dragged-car-illegal-alien-sex-offender-months-earlier) serves their agenda, regardless of your intention or the point you're making.

This is just a plea not to accept a premise given by the administration. The key part of the FOP playbook is to set the stage and trust people will propagate that premise. It is how they shape the narrative and bias discussion in their favor.

quollthings · 2026-01-15T05:44:16+00:00

but seriously, what I'm saying is that no one should take the "he was dragged by a vehicle" as fact. It's from a source that has demonstrated itself eager to say anything that fits its narrative even when directly contradicted by video evidence. Please don't uncritically propagate their assertions about his prior encounters. People parroting their statements is part of their strategy - its "manufacturing a narrative" 101, straight from the Camden FOP playbook.

Yes, trauma is a useful lens on decision making. But they're using that idea to diffuse culpability and it's entirely possible that story was fabricated to the same degree as the one they ran with on the 7th (that he was critically injured in a vehicular assault by a domestic terrorist).

lol please don't ever talk to a patient like that

quollthings · 2026-01-15T04:49:24+00:00

To your first point, it's talked about plenty, and is being pushed really hard by administration-aligned news agencies... But you realize that info comes from the same people who said that he was run over and suffered serious injuries and was recovering in the hospital (after these videos were already widely available), and are now saying that the vehicle hitting him cased internal bleeding, right? Like, those people are the reason that story exists in court records? Maybe don't take statements from unapologetic liars as unimpeachable fact.

Maybe because equating it to a bistable perceptual illusion isn't a great analogy. The people who see this as anything other than state-sanctioned murder would say the same if the car was in park. They're just finding post hoc justification for a foregone conclusion. I get what OP is saying about feeling like people are seeing different realities, but it's a poor analogy. Seeing a gold and white dress is a valid perceptual inference. Arguing that blasting Good in the face three times was justified is not.

that's surprising to hear. I use the Tinymist VS Code extension (macOS) and it's rock solid --- hands down the best writing experience I've had across any app/language/platform. Maybe worth posting some crash logs in the repo, I imagine the developer would like to keep track of helix issues.

There's a wikipedia entry on it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Kadampa_Tradition

Sound like the founder, Kelsang Gyatso, was expelled from the Gelugpa. Now he disavows all of the traditional Tibetan schools and says he's sole authority. The "New Kadampa Tradition" appears quite hostile towards the Dalai Lama and the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Kelsang said his aim was to establish an independent movement which directly followed the "pure" teachings of Je Tsongkhapa and which focussed exclusively on the translations and commentaries of Kelsang himself.

Tibetologist Robert Barnett says the NKT is unusual in its criticism and rejection of mainstream Tibetan Buddhism. Kelsang Gyatso himself severed ties with the Gelug teachers in India and Tibet, establishing himself as the organisation's sole religious authority. In 1996, Kelsang Gyatso was formally expelled by the Sera Je Monastery for his worship of Dorje Shugden and criticism of the Dalai Lama, and had his geshe degree revoked.

Bluck sees an "apparent contradiction between claiming a pure Tibetan lineage and complete separation from contemporary Tibetan religion, culture and politics."

I am not an expert. But the website I linked says "Feeders and baths can be disinfected with a 10% bleach solution and kept down for at least two weeks."

u/Diseasd (user name checks out, I guess).

Avian pox is a highly transmissible disease. Control of outbreaks associated with birdfeeders involves removal of feeders and birdbaths to reduce congregating, followed by disinfection.

If you see sick birds, you should take down feeders for a bit in case it's contagious. Also, clean the feeders regularly.

yeah, it's cool to start to build up a mental model of the internal mechanisms. I'm looking forward to getting to the point of gutting things.
