This… doesn’t seem possible? Network television won’t allow it, and YouTube and Meta would probably block it. Would it be Zoom? Microsoft Teams?

His follow up still suggests he believes reading to his baby is a task to be automated. Why book reading and not… laundry, warming bottles? Maybe even diapers? Also seems like an admission that AI isn’t useful for manual, non social tasks where users would appreciate automation.

Vance is actually being very honest here. He admits to using “socialism” to mean anything he doesn’t like. It’s a slur to him to convey his disgust.

Maybe Bezos isn’t including care workers, service workers or delivery workers? Oh, wait, jobs disproportionately staffed by women and POC. Follow up question, what will white men do with all of that free time? More childcare, homemaking, and elder care for their families? bsky.app/profile/jess...

They want something they can consider human when they want it to be human. And not human when they want it to be not human. We’ve seen what they do when it’s Black folks, women, and children.

I like “dedase” for “debase” as it is reminiscent of “deadass.”

As much ridiculous wealth as Bezos has, he still feels Donald has power over him. This is because however much money Bezos has, it is never enough for him. The mere prospect of losing a fraction of that wealth—or hurting his future potential—scares him. What a tiny, tiny, empty man.

That’s just not possible as a matter of physics. The faster you go, the harder it is to course correct while you’re still moving. And you’ll cover a lot of distance doing the incorrect thing before you can stop or slow down enough.

The closing of the article is 🤮. It basically reads: Vote for Collins not for her actual votes but for the idea of what Collins represents. Which suggests that what Collins represents is morally and effectively bankrupt. It doesn’t actually stand for anything or solve problems.

Whether Sen. Collins is reelected has serious consequences not only for Maine but for the country. Hers is among the lonely voices in Washington pushing back against the dangerous partisanship that undermines our constitutional order. Simply put, a vote against Sen. Collins is a vote to perpetuate our national polarization while a vote for her is a vote for a healthy, civil and effective democracy.

He won’t. Tillis regrets nothing. Not really. At best, he likes to think of himself as someone with regrets. Ultimately, he just hates the asterisk on what he sees as a legacy. His votes, at best, challenged his image of himself. They did not challenge who he actually is. Eff him to eternity.

Do you view yourself as a Latino voter? Or do you view yourself as a voter with heritage as Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Dominican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Honduran, Ecuadorian, etc. where truncating the Latino voter experience to a monolith is destructive to understanding?

Even if you believe some people deserve to be killed by the state, that doesn’t mean people deserve the burden of killing when there are other options. The whole process requires killers, facilitators & witnesses. Mostly acting in a faux medicalized environment. It’s corrosive to all who take part.

This distinction is important! We didn’t all go to college in the same financial environment. Some had cheap college, some had debt-heavy, some had less debt, some got screwed by for profit schools & still didn’t get a degree. Others got (required) masters for education & social work that don’t pay

It’s like vegetables! Good for you but no fun. Also, it’s super useful and all of the fun! Likening it to the Jolly Green Giant getting kids to eat their vegetables gives the game away—they’re actually marketing AI to children.

Crockett’s getting more scrutiny than other electeds (objectively true). But I’m not convinced her mistakes and bad choices are any worse than the average elected (my subjective guess). Which doesn’t make it okay. But she knows Papa Pope’s rules about being twice as good. It’s sucky all around.

Angie Nixon is a Black woman who was born and raised in Florida. She attended school there. She’s raising a family there. She’s operated small businesses, done grassroots community activism, and served in public office—all in Florida. That’s who Vance says “doesn’t belong in America.”

I’d love someone to ask: What was your father’s IQ? Your mother’s? Wouldn’t their genetics have more of an impact on your genetics? I’d like journalists occasionally to engage with the underlying stupidity of the premise as opposed to just ignoring it.

When you witness men doing physical or verbal harassment, do you say to them, “that’s not okay”? When you hear men talk about harassing/abusing women (usually said in a “just kidding” context), what do you say? What do you tell young men about consent? If you’re silent w/ men, you’re not helping.

It’s hard out there for white ladies in patriarchy when they lose the man that gave them their approximation of power/humanity. I’m a little surprised she wasn’t able to capitalize more on “widow-power.” Wonder why that is? She or her husband not likable enough? Or just a particularly hostile org?

For one, “women” did not get voting rights w/ the 19th. White women did. Just one of many areas where details that matter are elided. Black women are (correctly) seen as the base for today’s Dem party but technically “newcomers” for votes. Then there’s the overlap b/t transphobia & misogynoir….

… about strategy come from a place of being unaware of details and history. And being unaware that you’re unaware. If a big tent of social justice is your goal, everyone in the tent needs to be heard—really heard—even when, especially when, you disagree on strategy. I have faith that you’ll try.

You’re saying a lot of stuff here and I believe your intentions are generally good with us wanting the same *general* direction for society. But I’d encourage you to listen more to the concerns of “outgroups” without trying to get them to agree with your strategy. Some of your assumptions…

It’s also an odd choice because wearing lots of your clothes at once is common for unhoused persons because you need to be able to hold onto all of your stuff. What message do designers think they’re sending?
