doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yep, but still prefer taxes that don't have a big chunk eaten up by costs of administering the taxes. Taxes are good but taxes that become revenue are better. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Disappointed but not surprised that Spain and Greece are run by drooling idiots. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Naw. The problem is ceding the ground to Republicans on political correctness. Not using slurs or not being a racist isn't political correctness, having to pretend a nazi is respectable because they have and (R) in front of their name is political correctness. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Time to introduce my colleagues to my new piece of perfectly work appropriate cubical art. 050
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yep rent stabilization with reasonable raises indexed to inflation with case by vase exceptions seems to work fine. Vacancy controls simply can't be made into a workable policy under any circumstances. 🤷♂️ 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Think you going a bit off into to far into confusing centrists for moderate establishment dems territory. Most dem establishment types are solidly center left if not outright progressive. 010
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Clever is not the word I would use for that scene. Basically my Criticism of 'sorry to bother you' in a nutshell, it butchers a good premise and a well crafted start and just does low effort knock off south park jokes. 010
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nobody cares if the result is exactly the same. 🤷♂️ 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Who says that our consciousness comes from our ability to solve these problems, it's not a settled question as as to whether "consciousness" comes from our deficits in comparison to AI as opposed to some frontier of logic we do that models don't yet conceptualize. 220
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's impossible to take AI consciousness discussions seriously when so much of it is just 'petitio principii' built on the premise that something that is capable of solving complex problems like "I want a recipe for banana bread that incorporates raw pistachios" must be conscious. 110
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Electoral loss isn't enough, I want their party organizing bases to fall apart. Otherwise they'll just go dormant and come back stronger in a couple years. 000

doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lina Khan has good intentions but she had no place being anywhere near a management position let alone head of the FTC. Her job approval numbers among staff were *dire*. 000

doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Hamlet would be way better if he was a superhero with the power that he was really good at killing people. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's quite a stretch to call Aaron Mate a leftist, he's absolutely more of a crypto-facist. 172
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think your framing is odd, of course AI can go rogue, but in the same way that a concrete buffer can go rogue. The danger with AI isn't consciousness, it is the complexity of the systems getting to the point where even though they are objectively deterministic, they still can't be predicted. 020
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026What's so hard? just tell them it was a war of necessity and done completely in self-defense. ☺️ 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026They looked pretty lackluster against the Saints as well, tbh. They ain't got no secondary. 😬 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Hey if you don't wanna Support Talarico that's your perogative. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Well difference of opinion there I think spending millions upon millions making TV ads that slander Trans people as pedophiles is easily way worse. 100
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026No. But I won't give money to Marcy Kaptur, not that i was gonna. 100
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'm confused, are you saying that's worse than what Republicans are doing? 100
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Why not? I truly fucking despise Republicans going on the TV every day propagandizing against trans people. They're outrageous and fucking Heinous. 100
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Well I mean I wouldn't give a red cent of my money to people who were using it to attack trans people either. I just question the premise, seems even the dems who are playing fence sitter are playing defense. Republicans spent 70m airing the most loathsome anti-trans ads in sept alone in Texas... 100
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026They aren't though? Like I would be shocked if any dem is doing Ad spend on 'anti-trans in sports' spots. 200
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I feel like the situation is the opposite. Maybe if you narrow it down to conservatives, but even then I'm not sure. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Fear of getting pegged with a lantern battery'll keep even a narcoleptic light on their feet. 030

doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Dem trans issues debate: "are we selling out our pro-trans principles by supporting a candidate who isn't perfect on trans-in-sports" Republican trans issues debate: "should we put them in jail, a mental institution, or just kill them" 031
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 11/09/2026If we had as many people who wanted to work in a union as rich kids whose dream is to become a union organizer, we'd have no need for union organizers. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 11/09/2026To be fair NYC is not Preston's backyard, or where most of his family's rental properties are so this isn't really contradictory. 012
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trump's unique appeal to voters is simply identity politics but for morons. 010
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026And voting for them certainly didn't delay gay marriage from being legalized! 010
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Eh not really, he wasn't a full on centrist like now but he was pro-fracking, and anti-immigration, not to mention the weird baggage outside his platform. 010
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yeah institutional investors own 75% of the stock market. The top 10% own 90% of what's left over. Institutional investors are backed about 50/50 by in the top 10% vs bottom 90%. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Where are you getting these numbers? It's closer to 60% if i recall correctly. Think you may have misread something. 101
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 06/09/2026What you're telling me putting all the power into the hands of whoever has the most funny money to throw at lawyers turned out bad?! 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026About a half dozen things explain it, headline labor share just isn't anywhere close to reliable statistic. It's far too contrived. The most interesting it gets is looking at changes *within* certain industries. 020
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Not as much as you think it is. (Self employed people are making much higher income and it's skewing the data). It's gonna get worse in a couple years as well (do to increased depreciation not cause the ratio is gonna change too much). Headline Labor Share is just not the most reliable statistic. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Think about it this way, say they collectively made less than the median worker in their industry, it would over estimate the labor share because of this, if they make more it would under estimate the labor share. If self-employed income trended up, it would show a decreasing trend in labor share. 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026And thats not even going into the problems with headline labor share as a statistic, like the fact that the decrease is limited to only a handful of industries, and doesn't actually include self-employed people, who are going up both in number and in income... 000
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Self employed aren't included in Labor share, they try to compensate with some back if the envelope math that assumes they make the same as the median worker in their industry, but rising self employed income still causes the statistic to fall. 🤷♂️ 110
doodpatrol.bsky.social @doodpatrol.bsky.social · 03/09/2026What people think this shows: wafe theft What this actually shows: self-employed people becoming a much larger and more productive part of the economy (labor share is a very stupid statistic). 100
