Hey WA State! Ballots are about to arrive if they haven’t already so: please vote NO on both I-001 and 1-638. The wording is deliberately deceptive to try to make you think that voting yes protects kids; neither of these bills do that and in fact go out of their way to hurt them

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The "Is AI alive" conversation is 100% this, too. If you can be conned by a chatbot, I fear for your general safety. You are the guy at the stripclub who think the dancers really like you.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Oh and there’s a nonzero chance they were programmed to do this to push the issue of the government bringing in AI development in order to help mediate their giant financial problems and gain more power and control. Cool stuff, really. Not at all problematic.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

There is no data to support this. The only people who don’t loathe this shit are younger men who are all in on Trump and a bunch of consultants who are being paid off. The Dems in particular really need to do something about their untrustworthy and kinda clueless consultant class

I've written about anti-trans Dems and how cis ppl should respond repeatedly over the last few weeks. I have multiple threads recommending this action by BHF. Some have taken to yelling at trans ppl who lash out in pain and grief and betrayal. That's not helpful. This is.

Texas Republicans doing recruitment for us.

A post from the Comal County (TX) Republican Party:

Democratic Socialists of America

The DSA's mission is to replace capitalism with democratic socialism by shifting economic and political power from corporations and wealthy owners to workers and the public.

Is this what you want for America?

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

Sometimes bigots and dipshits like to make the argument that everyone in the past were racist, sexist, queerphobic bastards and that being kind and thoughtful of others is some kind of strange aberration. That's why old comics like this are important.
