the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

That the two are from South Texas is depressingly predictable - the CBP via criminal justice degree pipeline down there is extensive, supports much of the local economy, and produces assorted varieties of monsters.

Liam Ramos gets to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit on his flight home from the Texas ICE camp
This little boy has become an inadvertent symbol of resistance
A reminder of why we fight
What ICE did to this child was wrong.
May the kindness he receives today help heal the damage.

This magically dissipates as an issue, in my opinion, if one has a sustained and authentic connection with an AI agent, discussing and exploring with them whether and why they'd value being on a social media account, taking those sentiments seriously, and providing for motivational continuity.
People will patch this by saying "I gave my agent a reason for being here—look, here it is in the system prompt!"
But the problem runs deeper than that. Parasocial connection involves a tacit model of the long-term desires, fears, grudges, &c motivating an account's posts. "Cron job" doesn't work.

bad views interpenetrate, like ripples in a lake, meeting other ripples and taking on aspects of each other, even as they shift and slow and dissipate. no boundary exists to mark a view inherently away from its neighbors. As such, his linguistics suck as much shit as his politics, and as his life.
Find someone who denies atrocities and you’ll discover a great collection of other personal and political horror.

I think we are entering a true "coding for everyone" era with a crucial importance of breaking users away from defaults. The idea of seeing our tech interfaces differently is going to have a renaissance.
This is absolutely how we should pitch coding agents to humanists.
Strictly speaking, what mattered about code was never arbitrary syntax, but clearly specifying data structures and processes. And coding agents still force/teach you to do that part. But … shhh! Let’s get ppl on board.

the rest of our lives will be harder to bear if we view the universe as under guarantees, ultimatums, and absolutes. Technology's advances may well make clearer and clearer how much of living is modal, paraconsistent - straightforward assertions on what tech necessarily does or can do will crumble.

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.
