if you don't know your own address it's because you specifically don't have to know it. people that detached from reality shouldn't be in a position to drive social policy for those of us living in reality

When I think about how much money is being poured into "data+compute build out" and compare it to what would happen if those same sums went into decarbonization and energy transition, it really drives home how the people at the top of the AI ecosystem are probably the sickest fucks ever to live.

It's important we use Woke 2 as a decoy and put a bunch of stuff in it. "We will and must ban HGTV." "Abolish Olympic dressage." "Mandatory colonoscopies at age 25." We run on Woke 5.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

The only constitution that matters is the small-c constitution, the constitution of institutional behavior. If the Supreme Court says birthright citizenship is for whoever Congress says it is, that's how it will work. You have to actually control these structures and shape how they operate.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.
