One of the only silver linings around fascism is the inevitable ineptitude. It cannot last. Blinded by their smug ego-centric delusions and unquenchable thirst for sycophantic adulation, they ultimately become the architects of their own destruction.

And: Make sure everyone you know who can be vaccinated is vaccinated. Anyone who isn’t certain should get an update. Measles as an infant can be fatal, either immediately or within a few years; but measles as a naive adult has a much higher risk of death. It’s one of the Great Plagues on purpose.

Only the threat of homelessness and starvation keeps people going back to jobs and bosses they hate. People lived for thousands of years without working a job. Capitalists had to create governments and laws to force people out of that lifestyle and propaganda to prevent them from returning.

You can't have a functioning capitalist society unless people are compelled to work. Outright slavery was outlawed, so capitalism turned to wage slavery. A system that allows people to live long without working robs capitalists of their cudgel to force people to work, even in inhumane conditions.

The Call for Working-Class Liberalism Is Coming From Inside the House
Economist Daron Acemoglu wants liberal democracy to connect with working people’s material interests and political power. His case for institutional renewal should be taken seriously, but it needs a fuller account of class, war, and worker organization.

It's ironic for a female pastor to criticize a tribe for practicing its rituals on Biblical grounds. Has she not read in her Bible that she ought to remain silent and let the men teach? If she can reinterpret that, then she has all the tools needed to make space for other peaceful religions.

I'm not saying regulation isn't needed, but you should always be worried when the companies that need it the most are supporting it – it means they see an opportunity for profit, NOT that they have suddenly grown a conscience.

JD @cyx37.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
AI companies want regulation because their lobbyists will get to write it, and they'll use it to kill off smaller, cheaper models. Regulations usually favour large, established companies that can afford the paperwork and hurt smaller companies that are trying to innovate.
