I genuinely think MAGA dies with Trump. Voters can spot evil viziers; anyone like Vance who is compos mentis and still supports Trump's positions will be tangibly sociopathic and odious. Trump's complete disconnection from facts or theory or real-world outcomes is actually incredibly load-bearing.

The queers are much better at this ofc, but a lot of political neuroses around gender come from women having a good idea of what makes women attractive and men having no idea whatsoever what makes men attractive
Reactionary inceldom is a scream of terror at being judged by an unknown rubric
Can I tempt you with "the robots destroy everyone's jobs (and that is good)" as a near-future dream?
I'm getting exactly zero takers on this one but I live in hope
Thank you! But also oh god oh fuck I mostly post furry porn are you sure you want to follow, I really shouldn't cross the streams like this
honestly why aren't the rest of you like this
That means that unlike other utopian projects it's actually, truly, genuinely possible this decade! You'll never sell your normie mom on violent revolution but she might vote for this! She liked COVID stimulus payments and this is just a bigger, permanent version of the same thing!
A lot of people are nihilistic and hopeless about this because they assume conservatives will always block it, but things change very fast when those voters are the ones who lose their job and urgently need it. Republicans love welfare when they expect to benefit from it (Medicare, farm subsidies)
Annoying everyone by injecting UBI into every conversation. Not gonna stop until it breaks into public discourse.
AI is already eating jobs and it will be awful unless we get some safety nets in, but the fully automated luxury communism future is within reach if we do this right.
Skeb thanks!!

nothing hurts me more than seeing a bad argument for a thing that i believe in
they've reverse engineered Ann Coulter
"engagement-maximizing bot learns eventually that stirring up hatred against itself is the most effective strategy" feels like some kind of morality fable
incredibly fascinating social dynamic here where anti-AI outrage bait has gone viral despite being blatantly written by an AI that has hallucinated or exaggerated most of the details
Even a maxed out Claude Code subscription is only about ~$2,000 per year! It's hard to find anywhere on Earth where a decent coder is cheaper than that
It's not boilerplate - it's well able to track down weird gnarly bugs in 15 minutes that stump human engineers for hours. If you're a software engineer, I really suggest trying it on a big project you're working on! If not then, idk, I guess we just yell anecdotes back and forth forever
I mean, that's probably what I'd assume too if I weren't watching the tools work right now, but there was a genuinely massive jump with Opus 4.5 in November. Claude Code + Opus 4.6 just is able to replace most junior coder work. I'm not sure how to convince you except to tell you to try it!
Current code agents are definitely good enough to make it possible to ~halve team size and have Claude pick up the work that used to be done, especially by juniors/interns. I'm confident that stuff like this is plausible and not just CEO bullshit, for example: edition.cnn.com/2026/02/26/b...
honestly even without the autism biting down on a whole cardamom pod is a rough experience
pilau is still really good though. I will absolutely put the pods into the rice cooker just to fish them out before serving up
I unironically think 00s escapes because of how hard it is to refer to as a decade while speaking aloud. That which thou canst not group together with a single term, neither canst thou efficiently stereotype it
It makes sense when you stop seeing them as caring about the success of any ideology, even ones they're genuinely aligned with. If given the option to burn the sexism commons to advance their sexism career they'll instantly mash the button
The French "patatrac" for something collapsing or falling apart is really good
wait why did that link not work am i just an idiot @mashtateos.com

it's a rational defensive reflex to a world where you can't rely on privacy and anonymity and openly tolerating the wrong thing might get you in trouble. 18th century villagers and teens with insta profiles are pushed towards puritanism for the exact same reasons
