the comedian Brendan Lee Mulligan pointed out people generally dont change their behavior because of ideology, rather they seek out an ideology that allows their behavior. Before people were fascists they were assholes

TOS and decency should have barred them but RW politics got special treatment.
When the media calls Bluesky a “liberal” platform they are missing the point. It’s not about politics. It’s about decency. Putting this into a left/right dichotomy is just further normalizing the behavior of deranged MAGA trolls.

Co-signed. The neurotypical attitude toward people with diagnosed ADHD is very clearly "oh so you're not just lazy, you're manipulative enough to force good normal doctors to give you free drugs about it"

“AI” models are suffused with US values and, occasionally, those are quite shocking to us non-Americans

An Icelandic police force used a generated image to promote a public notice

People were absolutely horrified

Why?

Because the cop in the image had a gun, in a holster, AROUND CHILDREN 😱

I improvised bread pudding from leftover yeast rolls and kitchen scraps without a proper recipe or even the right tools.

It was delicious.

Sometimes I think about what woke used to mean when it was a meaningful word that black people used to describe our lived experiences and then I sigh exhaustedly for just a bit before I keep my thoughts to myself.
What the fuck is a “woke filling”?

Being anti-ai is not ableist. What is actually ableist is to suggest that disabled people need to resort to plagiarism and theft to create art.

A large chunk of the electorate believes Democrats have moved “far to the left” on “the border.” It’s complete nonsense that points to two crucial issues:
- The information environment is a disaster.
- The idea that Democrats just need to be a little more cruel to “convince” people is bizarre.
This is the least serious take on the election that I’ve heard: that Dems are too progressive in immigration. They’ve all but killed the international right to seek asylum at the border. Advocating that we go further right by saying there are no more human rights at the border won’t save anyone.

One of the challenges of doing civil rights work is that it's like if, once a week, you met Bigfoot for coffee. You can plainly state the facts under which qualified immunity was granted and people simply won't believe you, it can't be true. But it is.
what the fuck are we even doing

I dunno if any democratic party operatives are following me on here, but instead of begging constituents for couch change, pivoting to the center, or throwing your base under the bus, maybe tell people what you ACTUALLY PLAN TO DO in the face of a ver real threat. What is actually wrong with y'all?

The thing about giving discursive ground to people with zero boundaries and ethics is that by the time language stops meaning anything and can be turned on anyone the damage is done. We had whole books and histories warning us about that
