Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

One side envisions a Utopia derived from a show of force. One side envisions one from the standpoint of lifting up others through education and services for the most vulnerable, for those with fewer resources.
Utopia is unattainable, but I will still take the latter path toward something better.

It seems to be Bluesky tradition to make sure people know you're watching The Last Waltz on/around Thanksgiving. I'm watching The Last Waltz on Thanksgiving.

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI.
Image on the left is something RFK Jr. posted today. Image on the right is a photo from 2024.

Can’t think of a better advertisement for @nebula.tv than the fact that the top video on the platform is FD Signifier’s essay on Charlie Kirk, which just got taken down on YouTube, even though YouTube had reviewed that much more censored version of the video and approved it.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

The two work in tandem to create a terrible synergy: people will believe images/video they want to believe while disregarding those they don't.
Congratulations to humanity for building a cognitive bias confirmation machine. 🥳

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Just watched GDT’s ‘Frankenstein’ and I think that Netflix’s mandate to have all characters give dialogue to facilitate the audience multitasking during the movie is so damaging to art as a concept that it’s tantamount to crime against humanity

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

I’m just a naïve professor of politics, but it seems to me that it wouldn’t be *that* hard to mandate that every data center project add sufficient renewable capacity to zero out its impact on the grid.
… and when the bubble bursts we’d at least be left with *some* kind of economic & social good.
