I love lithium batteries as much as the next person but if you are using the illegal bombing of Iran to promote EVs you are depraved.

Not to mention if you’re an undergraduate grad (like me) and you try to get entry level work in the field you studied you’re expected to have one to three years of full time work experience. The definition of entry level is now masters graduates apparently.

Trying to find work that isn’t for a defense or tech company is almost impossible and it’s not like there’s money for anyone in the NGO sphere :(

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

I once worked on a report where we tried to determine if utility ownership model changed the rate of energy burden in a given community. After some weird GIS work all I proved was that richer areas can afford to municipalize while the rest of us get gouged by IOUs.

Iirc WFP refused to release their endorsement vote numbers in 2020 when they backed Warren over Bernie. Seems like a continuing issue for them.

Did everyone just forget that we refer to neural network algorithms as “black boxes” because we have no clue how they get the right answer once they are trained?! Why would we ever let them near the bedrock of any system!

So the guy who’s opposed to fighting utility monopolies, universal healthcare, and social housing wants us to believe we need to abandon “identity politics” in the name of affordability? Seems like he just wants us to own nothing and like it lmao

Honestly with some of his endorsement decisions and the whole “Warren as VP and treasury secretary” plan it felt like they had no idea who they could hire if they did win.

The Okhrana having impacts that extend this far past the Tsar's fall makes me really worried about other psyops that happened more recently.

They did not publish their full survey on their substack. All they link to is their methodology for all their surveys. They also do not contrast this poll with an acknowledgement that the only reason people are this polarized is the right wing pushed for a decade to make it this way.

They’re lying about what trans healthcare actually means and are using that misleading data to pus Democrats away from solidarity and support for trans people. It has the same “just asking questions” problem as polling fear mongering language and claiming it proves that Americans hate immigrants.

I wish someone made good municipal socialist/realistic ecosocialist youtube content but it can't be me because the idea of writing a script fills me with so much dread I would rather stew in my own thoughts.

Hell, if we ever gain true democratic control of the economy, I think cybersyn, with modern data processing and neural networks, would really be liberating! Instead of this slop and air pollution machine we have now.

I personally am quite fond of how advanced air purifiers, solar panels, e-bikes, grid scale battery storage, and vaccines have gotten over my lifetime

When I said fully automated luxury gay space communism I assumed we’d build that stuff under socialism. Not just expropriate it from Nvidia and SpaceX, but hey if that works it works!

What?! Why would they get rid of it?

This is a 100% elite manufactured craze.

The reason they are committing to Trump so hard is they see him as capable of suppressing such unrest. Never mind that it happened under his watch the first time, they view his second term as unconstrained by the law.

I was in middle school at the time and tons of boys decided feminism was going too far with representation in games. It was still somehow tamer than the gutter racism of streamers today.

It truly was insane to have lived through Gamer Gate and thinking "well I am glad me and my friends didn't get duped by that!" Only to see the whole country fall hook line and sinker for the same rhetoric applied to politics.

This is really succinct.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. He's a loser. I can tell you right now for certain that I'm not going to vote for him in the 2028 general election BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO BE THE FUCKING NOMINEE.

Southaven, Miss., is a diverse suburb of Memphis with higher than average levels of air pollution, was selected by XAI because the state will do nothing to protect the community. This would be one of the largest fossil power plants in MI & one of the largest data center complexes in the world.

Ah lol I can’t read

I’d personally not even limit it to things form Trump 2. Go all the way back and anything that was kept through the Biden admin has to go!

Mamdani kind of proved you can go in, cancel everything your predecessor did, and move on fast enough that the media cycle can’t pick apart your policy positions. Any democrat taking power after this needs to have the conviction to say they won’t keep any policy of Trump’s on the books.

AOC running would probably be the best thing for DSA even if she loses the primary. Rejecting this because of AOC voted bad a handful of times will make people look like unprincipled fools.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

Only in DSA can the repressive tendencies of MLs and Maoists find allies in the supposedly free anarchists. Big fucking tent lmao.
