I thought the “socially awkward white male nerd to fascist pipeline” was sufficiently obvious in 2017 as to not require further elaboration. But considering these guys are not only still around but more active than ever, I clearly was wrong about that.
I went down that pipeline and came back. A 🧵

Unlike the far right, liberals and progressives do not live inside an endlessly mutable reactionary phantasmagoria where the search for energizing narratives rules all. We have actual policy objectives. Those objectives are doomed to fail in the media dreamland we’re building

Man, I picked the wrong week to finally get sufficiently addicted to using AI for something that I would personally mind if all of those companies suddenly shut down. FML.

Also, TIL that "fir" (as in the tree) and "fur" (as in animal hair) are completely unrelated words. Nobody ever decided to call the trees that because they thought they looked furry. Different root words all the way back to Proto-Indo-European. wtf.
I don't have to deposit checks very often anymore but when I do, I write "for deposit only" in such chicken-scratch that my wife accuses me of writing "fir delosil arly"

Vaccines themselves are such a metaphor for how the anti-vax demographic views society. If the rest of us didn’t do our part, most of them would be doing a very different risk assessment before declining immunization. They depend on the rest of us getting vaccinated so we stay above herd immunity.

Popped onto FB to message my BFF, and that's the only reason I get on there, but I figured I could just scroll for a couple minutes...
I've got to stop doing that. The depression and anxiety that hits me after is like clockwork. *sighs*

This joins the eternal debate over the general nature of the relationship between anthro and non-anthro versions of the same species in fictional worlds that have both.
Aka “what the hell *is* Goofy?”.
(And would a “de-anthropomorphed” *human* just be a regular ape or some third thing?)

I’m a huge fan of anthropomorphic food eating non-anthropomorphic versions of itself—two of my favorites are this jovial shrimp eating ceviche and the most terrifying hot dog king imaginable

Many years ago I bought a bobble-head based very closely on this. My daughter overruled me and declared it unfit to be displayed in the house, car, or anywhere else. I relented. In the fullness of time she was right.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

IMO using an LLM in a useful way is a weird semi-unique skill and most AI companies don't want to acknowledge it because it interferes with the hype fantasy of replacing all workers with magical robots.

Rubio *could* have gone down in history as just another of Trump's internal rivals that got bulldozed in 2016, like Jeb. But no, he voluntarily chose to be part of all this bullshit.
Never forget that Trump claimed it as HIS plan, Vance personally promoted it, the White House said Rubio authored it - and they all gave Zelensky a week to agree to it or lose all support.

Some day our children's children's children will tell stories in which the evil people that currently rule this country will be reduced to the cartoon villainy role of John of England in "Robin Hood" or "the Huns" in Disney Mulan. They won't even be "historical" figures anymore, just paper cutouts.
