I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The hyper normalization of fascism has outstripped the public’s ability to fully see the scope of the damage and that in part has always been the point of the fascist weaponized unreality state.

Another example of afropessimism, white nationalists literally won’t leave Black people alone, showing up in our spaces to antagonize and find their purpose. This is important for them at the moment, especially since Kirk was killed in a predominantly white state and white school by a white man

Paramount buying The Free Press is another great example of how easy it is to make it in media if you’re willing to spew right-wing talking points and trying to frame them in a way that makes them appealing to a wider audience. No big company is going to throw money at a left-wing publication.
