Hi. Not really sure how to promote this story...but it is about AI and the overwhelming feeling of it bleeding into everything with no concrete articulation for what a good version of that future looks like. It's about feeling like every 8th person is living on another planet. Hope you'll read it

My latest—A Long Island school district agreed to settle a lawsuit w/ a Muslim former student for $100k.

Did you know it’s illegal to say “Aaron Rodericks, the Bluesky Head of Trust and Safety, was caught liking porn on his work account”? It’s illegal, it’s a bannable offense. Now, it was ok for me to say it just then because I was telling you that it’s illegal to say.

So @safety.bsky.app has no problem with people repeatedly harassing and humiliating trans rape victims, but a blocklist that is helping trans people block people who participate in such behavior is against the rules. Got it. So much for "choose your own moderation."

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Hortman Died in a Shocking Act of Political Violence. This Is the Story of Her Life.

Think about how little Washington is paying attention to this & then imagine if any other nation did it. Israel just kidnapped nearly 200 people from around the world in international waters near Greece. And it did what many are calling "piracy" all to defend its other crime: its blockade of Gaza.

Again, it is a purely factual observation to note that the federal debt/GDP ratio <fell> under Joe Biden, amidst both a raging global pandemic & the most unprecedentedly rapid economic recovery in post-WWII 🇺🇸 history, & yet it's done ~nothing to change the National Conversation™️ about THE DEBT.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.
