Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Hey so FYI this is why a lot of us believe billionaires should not exist. Because no one should be rich enough to topple a government

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.

Be furious be angry but despondency is what they want from us. And be very suspicious of people on the left who say “we are cooked” or whatever. Imagine the civil rights movement, or suffrage, or any movement for change, hitting a roadblock and just “saying well we are well and truly fucked now.”

If all you're doing is prompting, you're not doing anything. You're shitting in your hand and hoping the machine spins it into gold.

It won't.

And you won't be an Artist.

If you want to be an Artist, you have to do The Work.

"Prompt Engineers" swear they are doing something b/c they had A Thought. But you fools. You bores. You absolute fucking turnips.

The Art isn't the Thought, the Idea. The Art is The Work.

And this isn't some art hoe bullshit, this is about craft.

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

If you live in a blue state and you think that you can therefore safely vote third-party or write in a different candidate, keep in mind that a big popular-vote gulf between Harris and Trump will make MAGA election fuckery more difficult, and blue states are a good place to run up a definitive lead.

I don’t want common sense politics. I want politics shaped by community representatives and scientists with deep systemic understanding of the problems involved, plus one politician with great communication skills to explain it to us like we’re six.

Trump’s closing message is a full blown hate campaign against black and brown people. Historians will look back in astonishment that this terrifying reality wasn’t the subject of wall to wall coverage and commentary in weeks leading up to this election. He’s not hiding anything.

This devastation is not the fault of the people of Appalachia making the poor life choice to live there. You want to believe that because it makes you feel safe but you are just as vulnerable to climate change and devastation.
