It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

an ai system doesn't have a will, intention or feelings. nor the capacity to want or care. a neural network does not go rogue, escape, or rebel. just tech bros' narratives projected onto machines. and pls, don't mansplain my post to me

One of the small things I love about being an anarchist is getting to be morally consistent and say shit like yes obviously I don't think Israel should exist no states do not have the right to exist because states can't have rights Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I cannot count the number of people who somehow have decided that *just* knowledge can be made free and basically everything else about the world can stay the same and I don't have anything to say to you other than You Are An Idiot.

Generative AI promises to make cognitive dissonance entirely vanish. No matter what you believe, it'll confirm it, it'll regurgitate media that minimizes having to feel the discomfort of cognitive dissonance. And it does so at a vast scale, a flood of comforting sewage to drown yourself in.

Also, if Democrats get in and DON'T immediately start on investigations and impeachment, we are SCREWED on the world stage. No other country will ever trust us again. Every nation will believe that Democrats are no different than Republicans and move accordingly. We will be powerless.

When you have ADHD you learn pretty quickly that routines can't be maintained all the time. That sometimes you are going to drop the ball. I think the biggest coping mechanisms I have learned is not to punish myself for that but to get back to the routine.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

“I just don’t have time to listen to new music.” You spent 4 hours today watching reels curated to melt your brain into a submissive pulp. You have the time, but your relationship with art has been hijacked by techno-authoritarians.

Having kids in my life is an unspeakable blessing. Interacting with children tells you so much about yourself, and very little about the child. They're tiny little boiling cauldrons of everything they've experienced so far and it is awesome and terrible to behold.

cw rape about restorative justice the other is just straight up saying that having anything happen to someone for being a rapist is "adversity" that it's noble to overcome but they're saying the same thing. This is rape culture. This is not about Geller or Watson Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

cw rape just as readily as they will use the power of the state and yet the war is the same. The only question is which side are you on? Do you think there should be no consequences for rapists? Or do you think we should fucking stop them? Pick a fucking side. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

And call me woke, but people who use the term “third world” demonstrate a condescending, colonialist view of poverty and backwardness that sets the speaker in a position looking down upon the developing world. So fuck ‘em.

one thing about the AI in schools discourse is that while I think it's quite correct to assume it will be used to screw poor people out of a good education, the assumption that rich people won't hollow out their own kids' educations with expensive/exclusive versions of the same thing does not follow

I don't regard antisemitism as a unique or fundamental bigotry, anymore than I think that TERFism or Islamophobia is. But like TERFism, Islamophobia and other bigotries, it is a habit of thought that makes people increasingly conspiratorial, nervy and aggressive. There's no bottom to be had

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

The thing about democrats is that they will *always* find some group of people whose oppression they'll justify by allying with fascists. They will *always* find a way to tell a suffering person "no see that is just the cost of doing politics in the real world sweatie."

"Why would companies buy GPU's they have no intention of deploying?" Same reason private equity buys housing they have no intention of renting. That's the thing about PE, it destroys everything - it's just rent-seeking. PE is actually the Paperclip Maximizer that these guys say we should fear.

The voter who won't back Turek or Talarico over trans sports was never going to back them. The ad just changes to a new anti-trans topic. The ads are designed to illicit disgust at trans people, and caving on sports doesn't blunt that disgust for those who these ads work on. Caving doesn't work.

One of the most important and powerful things art can do is not to reflect yourself back to you, especially as you'd like to see yourself, but to make you imagine someone whose life is very different from yours, whose values may be very different from yours, and to consider them as a full person.

The political argument for capitalism is that it diffuses power away from a centralized authority. But it seems like private capital aligns itself to tyrants all the same, so the diffusuon only operates to prevent government from serving the interests of the people.
