One of the reasons Taiwan is such a great place to live is that they don't put a profit motive on the basic needs and functions of society.

Public healthcare, education, transportation and more are all heavily subsidized by taxpayer funded, government-directed scenes. America should take notes.

Me too! But I do my best not to 😬

I got my handy dandy worry matrix. I'm expecting nothing and therefore will, at most, only suffer once

Who will stop an American fascist/dictator state? Who has the incentive? Who has the might?

If Trump's own eventual ersatz Nazi government never expands beyond America, why would anyone intervene? If the resistance isn't coming from within, it's not coming at all.

I love how you didn't even specify if it was good food...

Every accusation is a confession.

Same playbook, new crazy flavor

Thank you! Again, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

All we're waiting for at this point is the next Reichstag Fire. It's not far away. It took four weeks in Germany in 1933.

I think that's great, but it also ignores a lot of the other uses of AI. I think as teachers we need to be proactive in demonstrating positive and acceptable use cases and be explicit about where students run afoul of academic integrity issues.

Thank you for this. Can you share the full video with timestamp? I'm trying to get some context for the broader conversation.

Coordinator*

They were and have been controlled opposition. Their donors have told them to stand down. We're in the end game of the American experiment. The GOP are in the red zone of fascism and the defensive coordinate (the ruling class) has told them to allow the opposition to score. It's over.

And here I thought the talk radio on Grand Theft Auto was just a completely fabricated bit of humor for the player.

Every Congressperson who enables Trump by idly doing nothing, regardless of party affiliation, deserves to be held accountable.

When the first immigrant dies, the blood will be on everyone's hands.

Thankfully I don't presently live in the US. Taiwan is where I call home and will continue to as long as the orange one is in power. The threat of a Chinese invasion adds an interesting level of complexity though (as unlikely as it is)

It is SUCH a fucking nightmare. I look at the supposed checks and balances in government and think, "do something!". Then I look at my favorite football club and think, "do something!"

Inaction is a cancer and it's infecting everything in my life right now 😢

It's time for progressives to start campaigning as MAGA and then flipping once in congress

They stopped posting on December 5. We won the next game and then immediately lost 5 in a row. Curious. Maybe stop posting on Twitter....

They don't want to fight. It's controlled opposition. We won't win until we make sure it's a class war we're fighting, not a culture war.
