Sounds like Fascism.
Classic Paranoid-schizoid dynamics. First you are in love with the breast and rely on it for all substance. So you become paranoid about it. Then you find it faulters and is slow to give milk. Then you attack it with baby sozed violence for its shortcomings. Finally the depressive cycle arrives and you must look for other sources of nourishment. Baby food and what not. You end up depressive, but self-sufficient... And before you know it that baby food is flying across the room in a fit of rage as you roll around in your own excitement crying!
Cocaine is one hell of a drug!
Paranoid-schizoid position
In object relations theory, the paranoid-schizoid position is a state of mind of children, from birth to four or six months of age.
Melanie Klein[2] has described the earliest stages of infantile psychic life in terms of a successful completion of development through certain positions. A position, for Klein, is a set of psychic functions that correspond to a given phase of development, always appearing during the first year of life, but which are present at all times thereafter and can be reactivated at any time. There are two major positions: the paranoid-schizoid position and the subsequent depressive position. The earlier more primitive position is the paranoid-schizoid position and if an individual's environment and up-bringing are satisfactory, she or he will progress through the depressive position.

Someone needs to convince dear leader that that the enemies are in his own house!
“What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it. It’s really unfortunate,” Musk continued, claiming that the “real problem” isn’t the “crazy guy” who attacks his vehicles but rather the people that push the “propaganda” that encourages him to do it.
Four top officers at the company have unloaded more than $100 million in stock since last month, reported ABC News. They include James Murdoch, the estranged son of right-wing media magnate Rupert Murdoch, and Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk, who shed $27 million, according to a Security and Exchange Control filing.
Go after them Elon! They must be the problem - they're the only ones with the money!
“Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”
“The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda? We’re going after them,” Musk said, casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun.

On Monday, Washington’s Metropolitan Police revealed that two people accused of vandalizing a Tesla windshield will be charged for “political hate speech.”
What are you gonna to about it? Riot on the streets for days? March on the capitol en mass and capture back democracy?
So the joke here is that whoever wrapped the mummy gave it a gift wrap style bow on top. Good wrapping job.
I don't get it.
But if horse metabolism means they only live until 30, and are adult horses by 4 or 5....
I mean, I can't imagine centaur foals are being born with soft baby humans for their top halves... I gotta think they're being born with a like... 5 - 7 year old kid as their top half (something more sturdy than a newborn)... and that due to the shared metabolism their lifespan is somewhere between that of a horses; 25-30 years, and that of humans 60 years (I'm low balling the human age back to like, ancient roman times as I think it's closer to the conditions centaurs would have had and the era they came about)....
So what's that mixed? Like a life span of 45 - 50 years? Whether it's appropriate may come down to how complex centaur society is to understand. Is it mostly just running and grazing? Or do they have houses and complex rituals and/or technologies which require social mores?
This subject is too complicated for me to think about any further. I tried.
The other major tech news I've heard recently about keeping social media free and for the people, is that BlueSky has just implemented a link tracking system so they can track where users go from their site (they're doing so to sell the information to corporate clients).
This means Mastodon is currently the Federated alternative to the twitter style websites.
Digg is starting back up again.
But they're doing it with a Reddit executive.
Even MORE reason not to upgrade!
