there is only one interaction that makes getting the entire rightoid Internet sicced on you worth it and you already know what it is and if you're not in driving distance to jersey and willing to do the needful shut the fuck up. this is part of the humiliation ritual of rape culture stop it.

this is kind of wrong depending on whether you think 'i hate this and want to get rid of it' constitutes a 'real answer'

ai use in art is criticized on principle while ai use in software is criticized on quality. this is because making art is good and making software is bad.

Nonsense. Why would a company screaming to make it illegal to compete with them benefit from a cyber 9/11 they could blame on their competitors? 🤔

Indeed. This point can't be stressed enough. "Sex-based" is a term we've always used to describe *discrimination*, and its sudden mainstreaming as pseudo-feminism in the UK reveals it as a poison that unravels the entire liberal democratic architecture of civil rights. I wrote about it here.

Had a lovely conversation with @brennan.computer yesterday about what a non-booster non-anti tech-friendly left could look like, and for me it centers a few things: - media piracy and other anticorporate uses of tech - who we valorize - eg, scihub, anna's archive, pirates and shadow librarians

i should note that much of the time this is a feint. scott alexander is not a "high-decoupler" on race; he views flippant racism in the sailer/hanania style as such a positive epistemic signal that a schizophrenic nut permabanned from his own discord for slurs is liable to turn up on his links page

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

Seeing Moulton eat shit gave me more confidence in my coalition partners. Seeing people try to put me in my place over this has burned off all those good vibes, and threatens my post-2024 attempts to view liberalism in a positive light. The message it sends me is, “we will betray you.”

A WHOLE LOT of trans people are citing to the last decade of UK politics as a reason they think anti-trans Dems winning is worse FOR THEM than anti-trans Repubs. And a whole lot of US liberals aren't engaging with that example at all while pontificating about why trans people are wrong and stupid.

lotta cis he/hims telling transgender ppl how they should feel about a gun pointed at their faces. instead of doing that, why not reiterate to your own pols that trans support is a red line for you. better still, materially support a trans person who had to flee their home b/c of this

the HRW statement is insane: “yeah Orban was bad but you’re moving too quickly to clean up his mess and kick the fascists out of government!” it’s legitimately a bad parody of liberalism. these people have lost the fucking plot. we do not have time to navel gaze while restoring democracy
"Hungary's new government has a mandate to set right the damage done to the rule of law during 16 years of Fidesz rule, including reversing its arbitrary stacking of key state institutions with Fidesz loyalists," said Benjamin Ward, deputy Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "But restoring the rule of law requires respecting due process and taking time to ensure genuine consultation before enacting sweeping constitutional changes."
