Heated gloves are amazing. Soothing to arthritis, they can make bitter cold winter days tolerable.
The main reason I suspect they are not more popular is the annoying matter of keeping them charged. It’s really easy to forget to turn them off.
What if the glove could detect if there was hand present?
* What if they turn off if you clip them together?
* What if you make a fist and squeeze and that turns them on for 5 min?
* How else could they detect when to be on/off?
This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.
He records them and shares it with the world.
What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?
Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

Did you know someone named an extinct hell ant after David Bowie?

IT WAS NOT ME. (Lattke & Melo, 2020 anyone know these two?)
I would never name an animal after a person.

BUT ... that is a sick name. So metal. So hair. So everything.
US Pol: "ICE aren't our police."
I've heard many liberals say things along the lines of "ICE aren't real police" this often goes hand in hand with "ICE is poorly trained."
This can feel like a safe bit of middle ground. You aren't one of those radical crazies who are always so critical of the police. It's not that what they are trying to do is wrong, no, it's how they are going about doing it.
But, the ICE officers who have killed have been long-time veterans. It's not about "training."
US Pol: "ICE aren't our police."
There is no "right way" to grab a person from their home and send them out of the country or to a detention camp just to keep the numbers up.
Either you think there are a class of people who ought to be treated the way cops often treat Black people, the way that ICE treats protestors and anyone who seems "foreign" and this violence is "unfortunate" but somehow pragmatic for your safety and fear... OR ?

I think the most masterful writing seems simple and plain-spoken, but still manages to use interesting, obscure words, whilst always neatly framing these oddballs in a little tableau with other words so the meaning is perfectly clear.
This is kind of the opposite of how most jargon are applied: Jargon makes you stop reading and look things up. The writing may be more concise and precise but it's like stumbling over rubble to read it.
Use obscure words in a way that makes your readers feel smart and that makes them want to use those words too.
Don't use them to make people give up and feel lost. (and if you do that by accident, explain the word or fix it)
COOL: I'm using obscure words because they are so neat and I want to share them.
NO COOL: I'm using obscure words to keep people out, and make them feel like they can't keep up with me.

Humans domesticated dogs before they invented written language... and now they never will.

"I never really wanted to be an inkjet printer, no, I always wanted to be an actor ... Let me show you my death monologue. "
When printers "act up" they are just expressing themselves, showing you one of their musical numbers. Try to sympathize a little. Their mom always said they had "so much talent"
