the desire for Endless Franchise is sublimated hunger for God. if the franchise ends the hunger pricks, the dread tide ebbs. the standalone short story exists, in the franchise acolyte's imagination, like the grim reaper a the end of a dark dirt road

This is from March but I still think about it and find myself wondering if this is, you know, a viable system of government that can be saved or deserves to be saved.
I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

most effective way to monetize access to alternate timelines would probably be their cultural content. movies, books, etc. raw materials are hard to transport, bur content easy to get back to your timeline and it's not like copyright law applies across quantum probabilities.

i generally dislike "STEM needs humanities" arguments but this is actually a case where it legitimately applies, albeit for not the reason you imagine
The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

liberal christians genuinely cannot wrap their heads around the idea that people who fervently believe in jesus can do & want terrible things. it's a minor frustration in the scope of things, but also an astonishing ignorance of history and an unwitting embrace of hegemony
