At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Like the thing is, you don't get a popular front without normies. A lot of people get tripped up on this.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:
Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

It's weird that the Warhammer 40k-looking ship on ST Strange New Worlds that blows up planets and can't be harmed by the Enterprise is a "scavenger ship" that's boosting spaceships to rip the copper out of their walls.

To my knowledge, you still haven't addressed the fact that Grok went Nazi this summer and all of the big consumer-facing LLMs you're pushing are owned by right wing tech oligarchs and subject to to similar manipulation.
Respectfully, I believe your pushing this tech is horrifically irresponsible.

Just in general I really think "the wealthy want access to economically desperate young women who they can coerce into sex" is underrated as both an explanation for Why The Rich Are Like This and a persuasive argument to working class people for rallying against them.
I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."
The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

extreme levels of wealth is genuinely damaging to the human psyche.
a lot of the time when someone goes rotten, it’s after they’ve acquired levels of wealth that effectively sever them from normal society & community.

Once you reach a certain threshold of wealth your brain breaks, you completely disassociate from reality. Wealth cap should be mandated as a mental health protection.

I think punditry would be a lot healthier if people made the case for their policies and position on the merits first rather than framing everything they advocate for as a good electoral strategy. 90% of the time, it's what they support on the merits, so just make that case.

I've heard it said that when you handwrite something, you remember it better. When I draw something by hand, the process of creating it helps me to understand the subject better.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Let's clear up the misinformation about a tax on unrealized capital gains.The plan Kamala Harris endorsed only applies to people with $100 million+ in wealth who do not pay at least a 25% tax rate on their income. Is that you? No? Then you will not be affected.

In the last couple years I've taken up a handful of visual arts as a hobbyist and it's been really good as a reminder that 1) all art is just skills that you practice and it's fine to be just okay at something and 2) you can make things that are lovely and cool even when you're just an okay artist
