i don’t like him, but, man, turning down $10M in favor of haterdom is an all-time, world-class, heavyweight champion hater move

I’m as Zohran-pilled as possible, and his win is awesome, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that one of the slimiest, most repulsive people in American politics finally got a small piece of the humiliation he so richly deserves

You’re not the only adult in a roomful of children here, and if you say things that are demonstrably false, you don’t get extra debate points by pretending you’re a grown-up lecturing silly youths. It’s a bad shtick, buddy

Can't overstate how radicalized rank-and-file suburban Dems are becoming watching all of this happen - I know septuagenarians going to their first protest since the Vietnam War, and the line of abolishing ICE and prosecuting regime collaborators is pretty standard now
every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

At some point, someone will do cool stuff with AI image generators, just like LLMs can in fact do some really interesting and powerful things. None of these are that cool thing and I have yet to see one, just like OpenAI and its competitors aren't going to survive to see the cool LLM stuff.

Why are you treating a memorial service like it's the fucking Met Gala?
The list of guests at the memorial for Charlie Kirk on Sunday included President Trump, high-ranking members of his administration and far-right media personalities. Here is a look at who was in attendance.

No, I don't want my kids to grow up in a country where bombings, assassinations, beatings, and all of that are part of the expected course of social and political life. You can feel however you want about the guy, but you have to be a truly spectacular dumbass to not see how this leads to bad places
What a laughable, totally expected liberal take. You can't hold your nose, just once? You want people to feel bad for celebrating the death of a man who celebrated the death of so many, wrote off the death of children as the price to pay for muh freedom? Yet another display of fishhook theory.

None of this is a denial of anyone’s lived experiences of oppression or violence. The implication that I’m unaware of that, or its history in this country, isn’t right. But bad things can get worse. That’s what I’m saying.

It’s appealing to draw a continuous through-line of political violence in American history, and yes, aspects of it have always been there. But acting like it’s always the same, always as bad everywhere, is just not an accurate way of understanding that political violence or what we can do about it.

Clinic bombings, police violence, militias, Gabby Gifford, list goes on. All of that is political. What I’m arguing is that there’s a qualitative difference between - ballpark - the late 1960s and the 1990s/2000s in scale and intensity, and we’re returning to the former.

I’ve gotten some good responses to this, mostly along the lines of: what the fuck has been happening in the last few decades, if not political violence? And that’s a totally fair point. At no point did I say that we’ve been absent violence or that we were peaceful during that time.
It's worth mourning the end of a 40ish-year-long broad American consensus that political violence is a bad thing, one that leads to lots of innocent people getting hurt and killed. We've been watching that consensus erode consistently since 2016 at the latest and now it's fully gone.

Political violence is bad because civil conflict is absolutely fucking terrible for everyone. It empowers the worst people within a society and feeds into endless cycles of escalating violence that get harder and harder to stop.

Most of American political life has quite heavily featured violence: riots, murder, extrajudicial assassinations, property destruction, and so on. It's a marker of how successful the past 40 years have been on that front that many Americans have chosen to forget our heritage.
