Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

The third amendment is the only thing protecting us from government assigned abusive boyfriends.

Starting to suspect society was a mistake because even the people I ostensibly agree with are often deeply unpleasant.

Good reminder to never blindly trust a white, male, self proclaimed "leftist" because often their "class solidarity" only extends to other white men. Known many a man well versed in theory but who was also wildly racist and misogynistic. If you're leftism ain't intersectional you are pointless.

I hate to be a doomer but the pandemic broke me in this regard I think. After watching like a third of the country proudly say they wouldn't inconvenience themselves even if it cost other people their lives, where do you go from there

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

Live look at a No Kings march

The subtext of this comment is that the Mayor of Boston is Asian-American, whereas the Mayor of Chicago (like almost everyone else that Trump refers to as “a low IQ person”) is Black.

They Live is a fantastic film but every time I introduce it to a Gen Z friend I'm reminded that the plot boils down to, "two hobos carry out a series of workplace mass shootings because they believe half the population are aliens wearing human skin"

Everyday after reading about a new horrific action from the regime, I will compulsively check my email spam filter to see if my parents messaged me saying, "you were right. Things have gone to far & we're sorry for going along with it". It's been 10 years and I've never gotten that message.

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Bluesky mods are on a tear this week and really seem to hate their users. Also hilarious someone reported my private personal list after I placed them on it. Real shit-lib behavior.

I like a number of songs on the new TS album, but there’s just no getting around the fact that it’s hilarious to fall deeply in love with Travis Kelce. It couldn’t be funnier if you wrote a set of romantic pop-ballads about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.

And even if they can't convince people that this biased-by-design AI output is trustworthy, they still win at the basic authoritarian priority of undermining trust itself, of making people question whether *anything* they see or hear in media - any media - is true. This is one reason fascists ❤️ AI.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Well that's a huge bummer.

Getting all my vaccinations this week to spite RFK

Nate Silver calls this blueskyism.

Kids are gonna have to develop a pack a day habit just to not die of diptheria

It’s natural to not want to associate with Nazis no matter how “nice” they are to you.

as it turns out, Trump’s mass deportation agenda relies upon some crucial choke points. Here they are. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

We’ve compiled a few essential tips, drawn from the experiences of on-the-ground activists and immigrant rights groups. Guide: lataco.com/documenting-...

Like the old quote goes, anyone who would give up their liberty in exchange for security will live happily ever after, both free and safe

With credible reports that there will soon be a major increase in federal immigration enforcement activity in Chicago, I want to once again highlight the Family Support Network - a rapid response resource run by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Use it if you spot ICE.

so, one of the things I am going to do right now is PUT THIS INTO MY PHONE AS A CONTACT, that way, if I see something I can immediately report it, not fumble around wishing I could find this number, remember the name of the organization, etc.

One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

This post is two months old and since then the cop who shot another cop in the back and killed her has been stripped of his powers after allegedly assaulting another lady cop at a bar God bless our men and women in blue 💙

new cinephile technique "method watching" when you watch a movie and then act and talk like the main character around your girlfriend for 2 months

Look, strange governors distributing memes and wrecking homeless encampments is no basis for a system of government.

As someone who is 30 or 40 years old and has been on the internet for decades now, I need you to internalise this advice: we should all know less about each other. Stop telling strangers on the internet every single thing about you

Came up with a new mathematical formula in my dreams called "Enrique's Idea". See, who needs AI when we can hallucinate fake and bad knowledge all by ourselves.

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

when someone I thought was normal says "seed oil"

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

But the parents are so lost they don’t even realize that it’s not the classes that changed your kid, it was separation from YOU. No gender studies, sociology, or history class could ever accomplish what three months of not having to live with your bullies will do.

A lot of older adults forced a war on universities because that’s where their kids realized their parents were evil.
