Meanwhile, on a somewhat normal day in Belgorod, Russia; things got very tense for a woman who hung a blue blanket out to dry, on an orange balcony. The FSB had her take it down after enraged neighbours called in to complain.
I’m not saying it’s exactly the same, but I’ve heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I’ve seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.
This is clearly just a limited hangout so they can say “look at how crude our taxidermy robots are! This totally proves birds are real!”
The government wants you to believe they aren’t capable of creating the omnipresent surveillance network that are so-called “birds”. We’ve been under this surveillance since the early 60s when the government avian extermination program was in full swing. Why else do you think they were so gung-ho about DDT? It helped provide smokescreen for the avian replacement system experiment. Wake up, Birds Aren’t Real
But if you read the avain replacement system experiment paper you would have seen it was of limited success. Sure pigeons and starlings are no longer real, but those were the only 2 successfully replaced species.
You forget that paper is from the mid-80s. I don’t understand why people think they just stopped replacing birds. The authors of that paper based it all on declassified documents that were almost 30 years old even then! If anything the government just got better at hiding what they were doing, mark my words in another couple decades it’ll come out that it’s not only the pigeons and starlings that have been replaced but also robins, seagulls, and a variety songbirds!
IIRC the issue with waterfowl conversion was sudden failure of seals, buoyancy and ballast systems.
The seagull program was hit with the extra problems of salt water
Last leak mentioned the advances have made in the house sparrow model, but battery life is still an issue.
Songbirds aren’t used due to birdwatchers; as outlined in the paper “Avain surveillance: security, counter surveillance, and camouflage” read the updated 2019 version.
Once or twice a month I buy myself a cheap fast food hamburger because “at least I’m not in prison”, I call it my not in prison burger
Unfortunately I’ve also started getting a frostie on the way home sometimes because fucking life drags sometimes and I just need an ice cold reminder of things that used to make me happy. Now it’s just an empty calorie bandaid.
there’s something really funny about the idea of the hitherto metaphorical kids on one’s lawn clipping the lawn, and that being the thing that gets the old guy all grumpy in this scenario. Like not loitering or doing drugs, just unauthorised lawn maintenance.
I read it as 'walk across the corner of your lawn". Old geezers meme is them yelling at people to “stay off my lawn” Although unauthorised lawn maintenance would piss them off just as well I suppose.
