i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

I've seen trans ppl promoting this piece several times today, but I haven't seen a single cis person linking or praising it.
It's the same old thing, an article is written FOR cis ppl but ABOUT trans ppl and yet for some reason the cis folks to whom it's addressed seem to not notice the piece.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞

Ok, good, but I don’t have to like Newsom, do I?
For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship:

Tell me you’ve never had to worry about having enough money to buy food without telling me you’ve never had to worry about having enough money to buy food
It’s true. No one would notice or care about grocery prices going up 3% annually or whatever if people couldn’t work themselves into a frenzy about it or convince themselves prices rose 20% in six months. The actual effect of an extra percentage point of food spending on budgets is incredibly small

“once the mind becomes polluted with extremism, education and logical thinking don’t stand a chance,” says AI fanboy who thinks “upskill” is a word
It's rather sad that I had to explain this to someone who clearly is educated and really shouldn't have been so befuddled by concepts this elementary and obvious.
But once the mind becomes polluted with extremism, education and logical thinking don't stand a chance.

the reason to defend affirmative action wasn’t because racial preferences were perfect but to defend the principle that institutions ought to account for disparities, disadvantage and discrimination. unfortunately we have a large clique of dipshit pundits who could get fooled by a wallet inspector.

OK, so... I'm an expert on tech policy (it's my job) and one of the areas that I work on is AI and education. Since I don't work for any of the companies in this deal, I can tell you what I think.

Today we launched the National Academy for AI Instruction with UFT, Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic to offer free, high-quality AI training to educators. Some of you have expressed legitimate reservations about AI and tech companies. I want to speak to you directly. 🧵
