Something I just saw come up in a TikTok: Folks really do fixate on racist systems being driven by "hate" without ever reckoning or even learning about the many ways those systems economically profited the oppressors. Segregation and Jim Crow and White Riots were all VERY profitable to oppressors.

On my wishlist is for data science folks to get together with behavioral science folks and figure out the formula for converting vibes to votes.
If ppl haven’t seen what voter apathy has done this past election, then we’ve already lost future elections. The enthusiasm & turnout at Harris rallies was phenomenal but did that turn into more votes or just curiosity & maybe a concert?

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming.

Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.

Not to blog about it but the reliance on AI for creative endeavors funnels right into fascism because if you stop believing you can imagine something fantastical on your own, you stop believing anything is possible beyond what is fed to you.
Generative AI art skeeves me out because it is so unsettling to consider outsourcing your literal imagination. What do you mean you need to generate this. Why don't you just sit and think about it

Dear white people,

Stop telling us that we need to be nicer and kinder to racists, bigots, and misogynists!

NO TF WE DON'T! They have to come to terms with their racism and bigotry ON THEIR OWN! Its not the kind of thing others can change. They have to want to change. They have to do the work!

What better way to broaden your horizons than to follow a bunch of scientists on Bluesky? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky
Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

I could not sit silent while an elected official who spreads hate & lies that are getting trans people killed pretends to care about the future of the Internet. So I spoke up during Rep Nancy Mace's speech at the Project Liberty Summit & I would do it again www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2024-11...
