Me, planning an evening together: Say we meet at 6, or 7? My friend, a fellow elder millenial: Yeah 6 is cool The zeitgeist lurking, vibrating with nervous energy: say it say it say it goddamnit say it say six sev- Me: I love being too old to care if I’m hip or relevant.

I believe it is good to be polite to robots not because they have consciousness (they do not) but because it is bad for the soul to let oneself become a vehicle for cruelty, even if directed at inanimate objects.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

it's pretty cool that, rather than the gerontocracy allow its elderly to die when their bodies fail, it turns their rotting corpses into shuddering totems because allowing vessels of imperial power to actually perish would be, yknow, disruptive

A systematic, critical understanding of history, especially the long history of technically skilled people either being used by elites or being blinded by their own high modernist ideology to do incredible harm, should in my opinion be a requirement of any technocratic profession

a lot of white queers don't understand what whiteness is, and that makes much of their interactions with queer folk of color suck, so I'll explain a little. The two facets of whiteness that are most important in this context are that it is a social and legal exemption from racial oppression.

This is so exciting. I say that as someone building what would have historically been seen as a "competitive" product. Instead, we're building on shared foundations. Our shared goals are measured in terms of our communities' collective well-being. 💖

Logging into mastodon dot social in 2017 and realizing, oh. Social media is just code, and networks, and -- nothing we can't do ourselves. Sure, "ourselves" means "the priest-scholars of various cuneiforms", but we don't have to wait on gods to intervene.

inspired by two simultaneous charley horses #poetry

A poem titled, "Utopian Curses for a Stubbed Toe."

The text reads:

Bless the Creator
and all its infinite facets.
Bless every living thing,
and every inert thing,
and the divine qualities they share.
Bless that one may awaken
to all the glories of Creation.
Bless my body that summons me,
bless my spirit that moves me,
especially when it moves my foot
against stubborn objects.
Bless my fucking toe,
that it is a facet of the Creator,
and that even Creation itself
feels pain too.

That statement will forever irk me because ignoring the fact that these words exist and people’s real-time feelings exist does not make any of this less real. Your approach to escapism simply sucks.

respectfully one should probably shut the fuck up about passing altogether. cis people cannot be trusted with that discourse, and freshies should sit down, listen, live, and learn, before doing anything like casting stones. thanks.

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists

Software developers think "if AI automates coding, I will be able to spend less time on producing widgets, and more time on strategy and architecture." Bosses think "if AI automates coding, I can get my devs to produce 100x more widgets."

This is exactly the thing. Trans rights are worth defending because trans people are worth defending and, also, simultaneously, at the same time, the very basic statistical truth is that the overwhelming majority of people harmed by mandated & enforced gender norms are not going to be trans.

Re: Rationalists. I think someone who says that they are able to perceive a God of everlasting cruelty and that you should also perceive this God lest you be punished should be met with extreme suspicion.

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.
