My health care says otherwise. I don’t think government should be involved in deciding what relationships count, but policy is what it is, and I like not dying.

Not just. They’re also trying to build a machine god so they can have a robot rapture (without the rabble, of course).

Ah yes, when you think you’re winning it’s fun, and when you come up against substantive counterarguments, you’re bored. Classic. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

The reality is that “AI” is meaningless. Thus the joke that ML is written in Python and AI is written in Powerpoint.

Fundamentally, we’re talking about here is a policy question. I believe in democracy, which means every citizen affected gets to weigh in, even if their lexicon is imperfect. If you prefer another system, say so. If not, get off that high horse.

Positioning the Luddites as wrong and anti-technology suggests maybe that’s not a convo you should be allowed to participate in, if that’s the game being played.

AI is a marketing term whose meaning shifts based on what’s useful to tech oligarchs. But it’s the fault of normal people who can’t sift through bullshit language? Hard pass.

'As the new regime's symbols are raised above their capital, our reporters are being told that Yakko, Wakko and Dot have already sought to establish a government-in-exile. Speaking from his villa in Montenegro, Yakko was said to remark. "Farewell, my country, core of my heart. Goodbye, nurse."'

The far right power grab is global and entirely organized, moneyed & interconnected. No matter where it happens, every pillar of free society that falls has been and will continue to be everyone’s problem. It’s a domino effect.

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair

My childhood neighborhood worked in IT for one of the federal alphabet agencies and his hobby was building computers. He'd open his garage and teach us kids how to build our own computers & how to code. Fast forward to HS/college, I learned HTML to make websites, and joined chats with my friends.

Why is reducing ideological bias a goal? To what end? Politics is almost always a fight over values, not facts. I don’t care if I am “biased” towards social justice, whatever that means.

They didn’t even codify Roe. It’s their fault I had to get body parts removed to sleep at night.

Do you have evidence that binge watching caused close to the equivalent psychosis rate that generative LLMs do? (AI is a squishy marketing term; let’s say what we mean.

“I don’t like when people who disagree with me join discussions” is certainly a take.

There have been studies on this more broadly. Almost no one thinks AI is good enough in their field, but they’re mostly sure it’s good enough in other fields.

Since you clearly don’t know what I’m talking about and didn’t bother looking it up, here’s an example from 2025. There are many others. Calling others ill-informed, when you don’t understand the procedure you’re arguing, is a bad look. www.commondreams.org/news/democra...

'Cowardice and Abdication': Democrats Grant Unanimous Consent to Adjourn Senate for 3-Day Weekend | Common Dreams
"We're in a right-now hour-by-hour constitutional emergency and they have a duty to be at their posts."

To get unanimous consent, you need unanimous consent. So literally all the present senators. All of them. Who isn’t well-versed in politics, again?

Cecilia Nemo @cecilianemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I criticized decisions that impact policy. If the Dems can’t keep members from defecting to vote for extremist nominees, why would voters trust them with power? (I also hold the GOP responsible for their actions, but as I said, they lead with wanting to kill my friends, so low expectations.)

Damn. You really do think they’re not responsible for earning votes. Instead, it’s nonvoters’ responsibility to vote for them?

Cecilia Nemo @cecilianemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
It’s not just about what they’re doing right now, though if Dem senators could stop voting for unanimous consent to speed up the right’s agenda and maybe stop good numbers of them from supporting his nominees, it might help.

When they have the votes, they still don’t do what they could. It took a lot of disappointment and rage over decades for me to get to a point where I stopped being VBNMW, but here we are.

Sure. But I don’t remember cases of straight-up psychosis after the intro of phones. I also don’t remember research supporting the idea that cell phones induce cognitive surrender. Tech is not all created equal.

Republicans telegraph that they’ll be monsters. Dems campaign on being on your side and then enable the monsters to do most of what they like. Do you really not see why people’s sense of betrayal is keener when Dems fuck them over?

Sliwa believes in something other than money and power. I don’t agree with him much, but that fact means he can be worked with.
