Lyrics in case you want to sing along

Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, run them, fuck the slow mo

Fashion slave, you protestin' to get in a fuckin' look book
Everything I scribble's like The Anarchist Cookbook
(Look good, posing in a centerfold of Crook Book)
Black on black on black with a ski mask, that is my crook look
How you like my stylin', bruh? Ain't nobody stylin', bruh
'Bout to turn this mothafucka up like Riker's Island, bruh
Where my thuggers and my cripples and my blooders and my brothers?
When you niggas gon' unite and kill the police, mothafuckas?
Or take over a jail, give those COs hell
The burnin' of the sulfur, God damn I love the smell
Blankets and pillow torchin', where the fuck the warden?
And when you find him, we don't kill him, we just waterboard him
We killin' 'em for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom
And even if some good ones die, fuck it, the Lord'll sort 'em

We out of order, your honor, you're out of order
This whole court is unimportant, you fuckers are walkin' corpses
I'm a flip wig synonym, livin' within distortion
I'll bite into a cyanide molar before you whores win
I'm a New Yorkian, I fuck for the jump
I wear my Yankee so tilted I actually walk with a hunch
Look at Mikey, I think he likey, we are sinister sons
(Aye, we the type to beat the preacher with a grin and a gun)

Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them
Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them

A wise man once said, ("We all dead, fuck it")
Just spit it disgusting youngin', and hold your nuts while you're gunnin'
I listened, tatted a sentence on my dick last summer
Now I'll never get that phrase off my brain, it's no wonder
I'm here to buy hearts, I got hundreds, honey
The cheaper the parts, the better buy for the money
I'm trained in vagina whisperin', glistenin'
Waitin' for their christenin', I know the neighbors can't help but listen in
A dirty boy who come down on a side of dissonance
I can't even relax without sirens off in the distances
Not shittin' you, little buddy, this fuckin' island's a prison
The only solace I have is the act of conjugal visitin'

My solitary condition's preventin' conjugal visits
Go mane and missin' my misses, they keepin' me from my children
Conditions create a villain, the villain is givin' vision
The vision becomes a vow to seek vengeance on all the vicious
Liars and politicians, profiteers of the prisons
The forehead engravers, enslavers of men and women
Includin' members of clergy that rule on you through religion
(So strippin' kids to the nude and then tell 'em God'll forgive 'em)

Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them
Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them

It's De La on the cut, liftin' 6 on your stitchy crew
I'm miles ahead of you, you can sip my bitches brew
My battle status is burnin' mansions from Dallas to Malibu
Check my résumé, your residence is residue
Call her a skin job and my honey dip'll backflip for you
You playin', God your eye sockets, she gon' rip in two
We sick of bleedin' out a trace, spray a victim, you
Done dyin', Phillip AK Dickin' you
With clips in the bottom, we dippin' from Gotham
Yes eclipsed by the shadows, a dark dance to the coffin
I'm a fellow with melanin, suspect of a felony
Ripped like Rakim Allah, feds is checkin' my melody
Yes aggressively tested we'll bump stretchers and penalties
Dump cases with face and the cop pleas when we seizing a pump
With reason to dump on you global grand dragons
Still pilin' fast, plus Afghani toe taggin'
Now they trackin' me and we bustin' back, see
The only thing that close quicker than our caskets be the factories

Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them
Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, r-run them, run them, r-run them

Came for the prison break, stayed for the conjugal visit.

Altimate? That's like the ultimate "alternative" summary, right?

Note...again, republicans can't grasp the meaning of the different conjugations of "is". "Was not" does not mean "is not", and he refused to say Trump is not under investigation personally at this point, he only said that that was the case in January.

Also, note that releasing your own, personal, non classified notes is not "leaking" as the word is customarily used, and absolutely not illegal or wrong in any way (unless he pledged personal loyalty to Trump, then it's wrong for them, but still patriotic).

hah! the book she's reading at the end is a verb conjugations book.

>> ^turboj0e:

the word/phrase that the reporter utters 10 seconds in is the most audibly confusing thing that I have ever heard in my life.


Rough translation from start to when she walks to the toilets:

The one thing that bothers me the most at a festival are the long waiting lines at the toilet. They're open at this moment and we can enter, so I'm gonna *check how clean they are.

*Here she uses the Dutch conjugation of the english work check, i.e. checken. Whole sentence in Dutch: "Dus ik ga even checken hoe schoon ze hier zijn". What you hear as one word is not one word.

It continues:

I think this is the men's area. You'd almost think you could scoop a beer out of it [the urinal], with nice foam layer. Oh, oh.
Man: This isn't a urnial is it?
Hahaha, I think it is man
Wow, hehe, wow, hoohoo, wow, okay, seriously
Can I ask you something? Just for the record: Is that a urinal?
Man in red: Yeah
Seriously, what did we just film? I'm speechless, the man was washing his hands in a urinal

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. ~Harold Wilson

Dying to get in there, hear it's quite peaceful. Constant temp, conjugal visits....fresh flowers

The Guardian ran a piece on it a couple of hours ago, it can be found here. There's also a longer piece available at HP.

The number of hits for a Google news search of "wikileaks" over the last 24h is rather depressing though. I would have thought that in conjugation with the recently admitted fuck-up in Afghanistan, it would make for an interesting read.

Ya, one day I'll be a real boy!

It's not just the "room for corruption." It's the history of corruption, and specifically bigotry. Someone needs to determine WHAT exactly IS qualification for voting. I mean, even putting "how many marbles in this jar" tests behind us, the questions could still have a huge range of specificity. It could be anything from "how many branches of government are there?" which would be ok I suppose... to "Who sits on the 9th district court of appeals?" which I could not answer without the internet, and I'm working on a PhD.

To the broader point, it's counter-democratic. Democracy has its costs and benefits, just like capitalism. The two act as conjugates to each other. Capitalism is already the meritocratic aspect of our system. Those that have demonstrated their ability already wield disproportionate power (as they should). The democracy is designed to reign in that power to ensure that no group, through its sophistication, can exploit the (often uneducated) masses. Without maintaining equal access to the polls, government would slowly reflect only the interests of those still able to vote, particularly since under your model those would most likely be the wealthiest individuals as well.

Always leave them wanting more. Like a conjugal visit.

Did you say I looked "fetching"? Okay, Mr. Cleaver.

In reply to this comment by NetRunner:
How thoughtless of me.

You really do look fetching in those pink fuzzy handcuffs though.

In the Apology, Plato's account of Socrates's making his defense, there is an interesting bit about your "group dynamics" that I would beg to differ about.

When the trial was over, and votes tallied, it was a very close vote as to how many thought he was guilty, nearly a split decision. However, it was enough to convict. In Greek culture, when you were found guilty, both sides got to make a case for what your punishment would be. Socrates was pretty sarcastic and said things like he should get meals for life for his services to Greece as his punishment. In the end, MORE people voted for him to be executed than people who thought he was guilty. In other words, people who thought he was innocent voted for his death. You can trust groups if you want to, me, I will trust my friends and family any day of the week.

Which would be why I appreciate the meritocratic aspects of capitalism which act, again, as a conjugate to democracy.

Which (flame bait) is why I'm also for the independence of the federal reserve.

I'm impressed with your level of dialogue on this post. You show a better understanding of how markets can behave irrationally when small costs are forcedly imposed on a large number of people by a small number of actors, whether government or not. I sympathize more with your views realizing that your distrust of government stems from a distrust of concentrated capital in general, with government being the most extreme example. Honestly, you sound more like an anarcho-cynic than a libertarian in this conversation. Frankly, I have more respect for that. Where we differ is that I've come to see government instead as my only recourse against all those other forms of concentrated capital. This comes from my belief that democracy is the natural structural conjugate to capitalism. The two balance each other.


I'm more of a classic liberal than anything else, and I tend to find a lot of liberals like me falling into the Libertarian movement. I believe democracy comes in the form of purchasing power in the market, but I don't trust Corporations or Government. I've said countless times on here, if government didn't honor the existence of corporations, we'd be far better off. And, the fact that they've lobbied to have the same rights as individuals yet somehow have dodged the ability to be sued outside of cumbersome class actions is beyond me.

I say people can do better than government and corporation collusion. Small business is the way to go. And even if a company could be big and work on a larger level, it shouldn't be able to escape the courts.

[edit] And, to NordlichReiter's point just above. If we could cut the military industrialist spending by at least 80%, I'd bitch a lot less about domestic spending, that's for sure!

@Psychologic

What I really liked about your post is the emphasis on technological context. What struck me about the video is how almost all of the enumerated powers surrounded particular technologies, such as post, naval warfare, etc. Don't you suppose if planes had been invented there would be some mention of an air force? Laws always have to be revised to reflect the current technological context. Innovation confers powers to individuals not previously considered by lawmakers. Since just laws almost always heir on the side of liberty, there will thus be no statute in place to provide the necessary regulations a majority agree on. Thus, we update the law. That's why these constitutionality arguments always fall apart.

Also, I'm a computational neuroscientist, with a strong background in artificial intelligence. So your conversation about robots is rather close to my heart. I do think the ramifications of this technology have not really hit home yet. It's a large part of the reason I keep taking pay cuts to work for the government on issues clinically relevant to human vision, rather than work for the private sector on issues relevant to replacing employees and guiding missiles. Not trying to take a stand on it, just not my thing.

Spoiler Alert! Geez, ruin the ending of the movie why dontcha.

"Two hands is better than one." He can definitely draw better than he conjugates verbs.
