"Abolish ICE or nothing means you'll get nothing" is the unfortunate but immutable truth
right now there's blood in the water so we should take what we can now (ideally a few more scalps and less warrant-less abductions) so that it's easier to get what we want later

Because I really don't know how "Abolish ICE or nothing" gets you anywhere but that - there's this magical realm of thinking where the democrats have a lot more power in congress than they.. actually do? Rs control both branches and the WH?

not in the context of ML, merely:
"go in the direction where things look better" is an extremely powerful heuristic. It *can* be misleading, but we are not near the regime where we need to try making things slightly worse

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Apparently if you date people roughly your own age you get five years max. I'm just not willing to date someone so much younger just to have a way longer relationship

This is not Tsarist Russia. Stop being fucking stupid. Your favorite revolutionaries would have killed for a ride-along with The Atlantic
And I don't care how stupid that sounds, because it's just fucking true, shut the fuck up all of you, preemptively

The Minneapolis resistance is getting object lessons in what wrecking is in real-time, but unfortunately the lesson doesn't seem to be taking
Okay so unfortunately I’ve been removed from rapid response networks, at least in my immediate area. I think even alerting you of this would be deemed a violation of principles but given how much I’ve talked about it I do feel the need to say what’s up.

AI tools are immensely powerful. The use of AI as a general purpose chat bot that is used like an encyclopaedia is the worst possible use of AI. AI is now, given good instructions from a knowledgeable user, capable of doing absolutely vast amounts of work extremely fast.
lots of people, especially on here, are fastened onto the idea that it's just AI bro marketing or whatever to consider it a fixture of the information landscape. it's easy to think that when everyone in your circles is an ethical AI refuser. but I'm afraid it really has been mass adopted.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Deeply fucking tired actually of how every time there's a Republican in office things are five alarm fire bad and people are ripping their hair out in agony, and every time there's a Democrat in office things are actually really good, and our brain damaged voting public insists the choice is hard.
