Yeah I think him killing himself would be great for them, any prisoner outside of a private prison killing themselves is great for them, and the infrastructure if the criminal justice system is built that way

The situation is pretty grim in American prisons. I can absolutely believe two cameras were totally busted and one bothered to fix them


Rikers Island's Deplorable Conditions: A federal monitor's report revealed unsanitary conditions at Rikers, including showers covered in mildew, infestations of roaches and flies, and broken fire safety systems. Veronica Vela of the Legal Aid Society described the jails as "rife with abuse and violence" and emphasized that these conditions reflect a lack of prioritization for humane treatment[2]. Judge Laura Taylor Swain also criticized the worsening violence, self-harm, and deaths in custody, calling the conditions "abnormal and unacceptable"[5].

  • Deaths and Overcrowding: In 2025, Rikers recorded its first death of the year, adding to a grim tally of 34 deaths since 2021. Eighty-six percent of detainees are held pretrial, presumed innocent, yet subjected to overcrowded and dangerous conditions. Advocates have called for urgent reforms to meet the legal obligation to close Rikers by 2027[8].

  • Human Rights Crisis: Over 80% of Rikers detainees have not been convicted but endure degrading conditions. Advocates like Keli Young from VOCAL-NY demand investments in housing and alternatives to incarceration to address systemic issues[9].

  • Calls for Federal Oversight: Amid these crises, advocates argue for federal receivership to improve safety and accountability. However, city officials have resisted such oversight despite mounting evidence of systemic failures[2][5].

The rebels in Myanmar are winning.

There's a new miracle drug for addictions.

That's all I can think of.

They don't believe anything they aren't experiencing first hand is actually a problem.

As much as I don't like it, they have clearly made their own personal suffering a prerequisite for any solutions being allowed to move forward

Anything bad that happens to a conservative is good. The world will only get better if they are made to repeatedly suffer.

The porn is just the first place they start, their plan is to label anything lgbt as pornographic and require a similar process to view basic educational content. This is how they get around the 1st amendment.

This isn't a leaopards eating faces thing for republican women. These women derive social, economic, and political benefits through their association with the men who hold power in our patriarchal system. By aligning with backwards gender roles or evil ideologies, they feel protected and valued within the system even as it restricts their autonomy. They know what they're doing.
