This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

You're suggesting people click a link to the blog of a virulent racist who is writing from the perspective of a virulent racist. They can say truthful things in an article, but the stink is on it and will stick to you.

I've generally seen this referred to as a lens. Like, you can use the holiness code in Leviticus as a lens to understand the rest of the Bible. If you do, then sure, God hates gays. But if Romans 8 is your lens, God's love is endless and you have to deal with Leviticus.

I too tried having conversations with these things and got interrogated in return. Very strange interactions where you can see how incapable it is of deviating from the most average or common response by relatively low-information users. It felt like talking to a con artist or a salesperson.

Yes, surely, but their message only reaches where there are ears to hear. It's not like those are especially successful people at winning races, but candidates/committees will keep hiring these losers because they want them to be right more than they want to win.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Being a pedo apologist and nuance-finder is not worse than being a pedo -- because that is the worst thing to be -- but it is somehow more pathetic. Go look at some bugs and well-actually their taxonomy; it's a gross but wholesome way to spend your time, you can still be unpleasant, +science.

honestly, a middle-brow (complimentary) director doing a big splashy Classics adaptation that’s sold out for a month at the IMAX and there’s an ongoing debate about it with one of its en vogue translators is probably the healthiest the culture has been in a long time

I think anyone who is a vegan for ethical reasons has to do some work to evaluate how the supply chain for cashews fits into their ethical framework. True for any food, of course, but maybe worth surfacing when we're talking about substitutions.

I've had this happen a couple of times, and the interaction was strange and involved apologizing to me, so I assume they were doing the part of 12 steps where you have to take responsibility and apologize to everyone you've harmed.

I think you have both analytic and expressive clarity, a clear voice, and an informed perspective, and I value and admire the work you do to share that voice. Your work is good, by which I mean that it is high quality and also that it is virtuous.

I never considered that a Jewish deli might not be kosher; that makes me wonder what, if not kosher, makes a deli Jewish. Other than being born to a Jewish mother.

Reductively, it seems like he's saying that independence is only ever a nominal state because existence is interdependent and historically contingent. I need to think more about what a State is and how a State expresses its sovereignty. I want to get better at imagining a better future.

I will never forget how a victim of sexual assault was forced to retraumatize herself in front of the entire nation because people waved away red flag after red flag - the Nazi tattoo, the appearance on a neo-Nazi podcast, the domestic violence - so they could have a manly, unfeminized left.

As we close a Pride Month that seems determined to kick queerfolk in the chest (again), I consider one of the queerest experiences of all: spite. Excise those motherfuckers from your life like the cancers they are. Live. Make art. Find others. Be joyful. Outlive those assholes, cheer when they die.
