It would be a lot easier to enjoy the schadenfreude of watching the AI bubble burst of it weren't so large scale that it's going to have devastating consequences for years. And the people hit hardest will probably not be the primary culprits.

Still glad it's bursting, mind you. Just...damn.

lol any way 💅

Raise taxes on the rich and raise wages for everyone else. The vast majority of economic issues (as well as many downstream concerns) are just symptoms of this one disease.

Root causes, please.

I'm not inherently against raising the minimum taxable annual income, by any means.

But I also hate how hard Dems work to *avoid* addressing income inequality and taxes for the wealthy when they address federal budget issues and other significant economic concerns.

I double dog dare you to make it a week.

I know better than to hope for predictive markets to be made illegal under the current US regime.

But once we have a legitimate government again, they need to be dismantled promptly.

Pickles have been a surprisingly load-bearing aspect of my mental and emotional stability lately.

It's crazy how easy it is to believe in radical changes for institutes of higher learning. All you have to do is fundamentally misunderstand the entire point of education and give money pride of place!

Just disregard whether human flourishing is relevant and then change is easy to embrace!

I would give a lot for Discourse not fueled by the frankly silly staking out of strident positions about arbitrary topics, but instead by adults talking to other adults about this collective trek to greater understanding we're all taking

Foreshadowing is a literary device

Exactly. If unedited video of you saying and doing things of your own free will is causing you reputational damage then I'm pretty sure the proper judicial precedent is "sucks to suck"

There is surely no slander case for things someone said under oath right

Blackhawke Kepuck?

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.

This is not a joke.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

And so there are police on their way to arrest Hegseth right now, yeah?

...now I want to try writing a TTRPG where the gameplay explicitly disallows speaking or writing at the table. 🤔

Or one where the rules themselves are only pictograms and drawings with no text.

In a sick way, I actually respect the honesty. Everything else about it is despicable of course, but if you're going to be a complete sack of shit, be one with your whole chest.

I would like to go a single week without having to tell a company to unfuck their shit because they've either actively enshittified their flagship product, a fundamental feature is missing, or they allowed an AI agent to interact with me.

A single goddamn week.
Please.
Fuck.

The emperor's new clothes include a very fine trenchcoat

1. End the war
2. Impeach Trump
3. Arrest and prosecute him, Hegseth, and everyone who carried out illegal orders like bombing a girls' school
4. Slash the military budget
5. Implement UBI
6. Tax billionaires out of existence
7. Raise the minimum wage

Good list thanks.

I love it when women

WE’LL BE LESS ACTIVIST IF YOU BE LESS SHIT

When you're looking for Someone To Blame, you inevitably find a member of the ancient cabal of Someone Blamers who is ready to take you under their wing and tell you about Them.

It's a disastrously consistent cycle. 😩

"Being who you are is good" is an important lesson for kids to learn.

But equally important is for kids to learn "Being who they are is good too. And them. And them. And them too!"

It's harder for them to learn that if they only get stories that center the same type of person as themself.

I think about this a lot.

painfully accurate 😭

listen I do know a lot about that but why would I ask a horse
