it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

I just don't care about any ~law enforcement~ story coming out of this administration because the idea of this man enforcing laws is preposterous on its face. We're talking about an arsonist doing fire code inspections. You're a sucker if you engage with any of it in good faith

We must be allowed to break laws with impunity so we can birth the machine god before others, and if we can’t steal and hack and crime, then the inevitable machine god won’t have the values we want and you’ll be sorry. Sounds insane, but that’s a prevalent, influential, respected ethos today.

The techno-dystopia I actually fear is a future where most people think truth is whatever Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok say, and the very small number of people who control those systems use that to manipulate for their own ends, making our current epistemic crisis seem small in comparison.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little just signed a law that fines schools $100,000 if a counselor doesn't out a trans kid to their parents within 72 hours. A physical therapist has already closed his practice and left the state. This is what "parental rights" looks like in practice.

Finished Mariana Enríquez's Things We Lost in the Fire. Really well written, and really interesting historically and culturally, and the way it mixes Argentina's recent past with horror is great. I didn't always gel with the style of sudden endings a lot of the stories had though. #booksky💙📚

Cover of Mariana Enríquez's short story collection Things We Lost in the Fire. There's an interesting background with a chaotic mess of drawn plants, thorns, and fires. There's some quotes on the right side: "Demands to be read." - Dave Eggers. "Unforgettably brings horror and the macabre to life." Buzzfeed. "Pulse-racingly superb." - Laura van Ben Berg. "Propulsive, mesmerizing." - The New York Times Book Review. "Read these stories!" - Kelly Link.

The real goal of anti-trans policies is to reinforce and police a patriarchal gender hierarchy: a system that puts everyone in a pink box or a blue one, gives people higher social value if they're pinker or bluer than their box-mates, and protects and values the whole blue box more than the pink.

Tess is Surviving the Horrors @mothmother.com · 24/02/2026

Goddess protect me from the evil & cruelty of "normalcy". This passage from the notebooks of Maya Deren describes the tyranny of the normal more perfectly than I ever could. Beware anyone who says that something "abnormal" is harmful rather than someone who says that something harmful is abnormal.

“A witch is, actually, a successful (in the sense of surviving) deviant. You have a cultural, ideological, social, what-not pattern which is, for that society in question, normal
(and, importantly, this is understood as a synonym for natural).
Most people survive because they conform to these patterns—because they behave normally.
Then suddenly you have someone not behaving “normally,” and usually they cannot survive, since having rejected the system and its support they go under, so to speak, and are referred to as "subnormal," “maladjusted,” and other such terms which have a negative relation to the standard norm.”

“But then suddenly you get a deviant which survives, and since it does not draw its support from the normal pattern—and since the normal people only consider themselves as natural—that deviant is understood as drawing its support from “unknown,” "supernatural" sources. “

“But it goes further than that. For the survival of the witch independent of the accepted pattern means that she is simultaneously a manifestation of a non-"normal" order which is apparently integrated and strong enough to sustain life.
But it is characteristic of the "normal" that he cannot conceive of the simultaneous existence of dualities—that his way is the only possible way—and consequently the sheer existence of another order capable of sustaining life is a threat and a source, potentially, of destruction.
They are afraid, for they think: If we cannot survive without our order, how can she survive in solitude?
Hers must be indeed a very powerful order to exist so independently, without all the intercooperation and individual compromise which we have to go through to survive.
And if it is so powerful, then it could destroy us. We must try to destroy it first.”
