Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

It will be fascinating to watch what happens with Google Search this coming year. It's the behemoth. It alone is the life blood of countless small businesses. And yet "Google Zero" threatens — radical changes to Google search results where good, previously-reliable traffic absolutely plummets to essentially nothing. Review site HouseFresh's story is an example. AI slop generation is flooding the web, and people are feeling like that's what Google…

The "chemtrails are real" and "the (inept?) federal government controls the weather" to "drone panic 2024" pipeline is incredibly real, based off my town's FB group.

I wrote about people insulting Elon Musk and his relationship with Trump by calling him ‘Elonia’ or ‘First Lady.’
This approach doesn’t work both because it reinforces the language and approach of bigotry, and because it doesn’t hurt our powerful targets one bit.
We have to learn to punch up.

Already reskeeted bits of this excellent thread. The corollary of Clarke's law (any sufficiently comprehended magic is indistinguishable from technology) is valid but lots of people miss that the essential distinguishing (and IMO interesting) element is POV. Who comprehends? How do they comprehend?
One of the responses this thread (on the Bad Place) got, a few times, ran roughly "if magic is common, magicians become engineers" or variations of that theme - the assumption that magic would be rapidly systematized by fictional pre-modern societies.
And I don't think this is right. 1/
