nobody has adequately explained to me why i should care even a little about birthrates
it frankly is kind of taboo to discuss these questions on the left, but this piece also doesn't get into the actual most promising policy ideas (limiting smartphone and social media use to the greatest possible extent) www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...
As birthrates tumble, some progressives say the left needs to offer ideas and solutions
The US and other countries face aging, shrinking populations. Conservatives have shaped debate over the issue. Some liberals say it's time for progressives to weigh in.

hypermimetic exclamations do as much damage to the mind as repeat LLM usage
posting a reply like "none of those words are in the bible" and "sir this is a wendy's" have the same effect as consulting with chatGPT for an hour

Do not let big name orgs seize this moment to control your reaction as they try to quell your righteous anger. They have no authority to dictate what a “proper” response is. That fucking gestapo pig murdered an innocent person in broad daylight, and the government is trying to cover it up. Be angry.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

Reclassifying the urgency of the first stage of fundraising to high after doing some calculations. Any amount appreciated alliteratively.
Let's start 2026 with a hopeful campaign!
As traditionally sales lag in January and also France turns out to be expensive I'm setting the goal at 3500. At least half of that is moderately urgent!
Art: random, but theming it Mediterranean!
Paypal in bio, if you're European: bank info in the DMs!

FGC take note, it is actually possible to make your community less toxic if you put in the work
The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

i keep saying to go organize locally, because its the only way out of this.
you want a long-term solution? stop waiting to be saved and start building that solution.
there are people around you doing this work. you have to make the effort to work with them.
and no, the answer isn't elections

and we need to stop posting about it and actually put in the work to make it happen

i'm not gonna bother trying to engage with the AI discourse anymore
i recommend you do the same
there's nothing to be gained from it, and the biggest problems will sort themselves out with the coming economic crash.
i will simply wait for my enemies to fall on their swords.
That is inevitable.

I have now been yelled at for:
1. Not being mad enough about E33 using AI
2. Ruining E33 for others by telling people it used AI
3. Being too mad at E33 for using AI
And at this point I just don't want to touch the subject because it's just a vortex of misery, paranoia and recriminations.

I don't think AI will ever fully go away again however when it comes to the hyperscaler focused US-american AI industry with "Open"AI, etc. I actually think it's possible it could go away again
