I invite you, whenever you encounter the claim that justice and imprisonment is meant to rehabilitate criminals of their evil ways, to imagine some small group of "nurses" around a dead man with their hands upraised, and saying joyously, "Hallelujah! He has been rehabilitated!"

Or, if you want a slightly spookier image to match the ghastly aspect, then imagine them as serene birds-heads, dressed in pure white, and raising their wings saying...

I had a song idea pop into my head with the song half-formed. The premise is that compassion is sexy, which is why Jesus is the sexiest man in history. I think it's supposed to be a pastiche of Christian contemporary music, though for some reason the tune is bluegrass (maybe because there are a lot of bluegrass gospel songs). I haven't actually tried to write it, but it came to me as fragments of verses and an entire chorus, which is stuck in my head like I'm remembering an existing song.
My subconscious wrote:I'm in love with Jesus.
Well really more in lust.
I'm in lust with Jesus
Now I'm "Nazareth or bust."

GLaDOS has a sort of dysphoria (as can be expected from an existence created by ripping a human out of a human and putting it in a massive computer), and testing is what shes using to get high and make the bad feelings go away.

^ there has to be a professionally made porn based on that theme. Not something I'd want to watch but something I feel should exist.

Huh, that really could be a theme.

I want to get a pair of really mean geese.

I'll name them "Facts" and "Logic," put them on leashes, and cosplay as Ben Shapiro.

I want to make a virtual assistant called OK Boomer. It will tell bad jokes about wives and Millennials, and anytime you try to buy anything it will ask you if you're sure you wouldn't rather spend the money on avocado toast. It will also constantly encounter technical problems it needs you to fix.

Alright, heres the problem with Baron Cohen's speech and ideas about media, and even social media:
We already know who or what controls the media.

I know what you're thinking. "Krashlia, where are you going with this?"

The fact that you guessed what I was thinking is illustrative of the problem. Now, let me ask, if thats the sort of problems with human interaction, communication, and behavioral prediction we're working with here, What is there to gain by destroying a culture of free speech by letting the rich, who already control the media, wield the censors pen as well? And why should we trust the government to not abuse private property in order to circumvent Constitutional restrictions? And, before we even get to that, why is it that people are so dumb and unable to recognize a good in itself that they believe that the First Amendment, which codifies a right to free speech, is only for criticism of government?

EDIT: For those who didn't make the connection, Bait-and-switched. Rich and Powerful people control the media, but I meant to mislead the reader on into thinking the answer was "Jews". The fact that it worked and you thought that...

Well Krashlia. If I may call you that.

In Canada the right to free speech ONLY protects you when criticising the government. Criticise anything else you have you could end up on the wrong end of a stick. Just ask Don Cherry. He was not free to speak when on the company dime and he lost his job because of it. Of course, any suit that doesn't cause punitive or monetary damage will be thrown out of court as unprovable.

Qualification: He was on company time, and they have a reputation to manage.

With Sacha Baron Cohen's speech addressed towards his so-called Silicon Six, who he blames for spreading propaganda and undermining democracy, he's basically trying to engage in an argument for regulation of these companies (and free expression on it)... But then it occured to me... Aren't at least two of these Billionaires Jewish, like Baron Cohen?
Its a stereotype, that some Jewish people humorously embrace, that Jewish people like to argue.
Dude, given the stakes involved, what if he just means to launch the Mother Of All Jewish Arguments?

If Trump supporters lived in Zork, they'd probably be arguing that #GrueLivesMatter.

Well, if you think about it, in Zork, you're a trespasser, thief, and ultimately a murderer (if you want to get that egg open, anyway), and your job is to steal as much as you can in as little time as possible. You're not a hero in that story by any means.
