One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!

I’m not religious but I think it’s good when somebody’s religion inspires them to do and want good things for others rather than just using their religion as a cheap facade for grasping evil the way a plurality of white american believers do

What Peter Thiel did to Gawker proved that you can’t have billionaires and a free press at the same time.
i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

Give me access to the historical franchise editor and I’m moving Robespierre across the ocean and making him Lincoln’s vp nominee in 1864
"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

When I’d only seen the still of him winding up, I thought we should make this kid president.
Now that I’ve seen the video, I need to amend that. The kid should be made at least double-president, maybe even triple

Does anybody have the old tweet about jeb! and dubya attending pappy bush’s birthday party and singing karaoke set to kings of leon’s “your sex is on fire” but they changed the lyrics in the chorus to be “you’re such a good father”?

Just what would a "reasonable discussion about AI" even entail? It seems like every single time an insistence upon one of these is invoked, the demands include ignoring or forgetting a lot; a kind of enforced innocence. So that we can... make pundits comfortable musing from provably fake premises?
It is really unfortunate that it's not possible to have a reasonable discussion about AI on here.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
