At the “Democrats on Data Centers“ forum last night, speakers said “we've already lost the war“ w AI & data centers & spoke only about cutting the “best deal” w tech companies- I don’t think real people want that! So, trying to gather some local data. Please help! actionnetwork.org/surveys/ne-d...

I’ve come around from thinking this discourse is annoying to now thinking it’s interesting and material for a little essay lol

We can have conversations about how patriarchy informs these critiques and how Taylor is having to respond to criticism male athletes will never have to think about without saying she’s doing feminism for weathering it.

It is interesting the ways in which these conversations exist in women’s sports in a way we don’t see in men’s sports!! Beyond just like men don’t typically take their partners last names, but additionally, fans demand less character spotlessness from men

It obviously shouldn’t be treated like a betrayal of feminism either, like leave Taylor alone, but it isn’t feminist to get married and take your husbands name. It’s fine most people do it! It doesn’t need to be good feminism to continue be a fan of Taylor and women’s hockey she’s not Britta now lol

I am seeing more people yell at how stupid the discourse is and how it’s feminist actually than I am at people mad at her and that is as annoying to me as the discourse: it’s obviously not feminist lol, its not even “neutral”

I love this poem
Ode To The Maggot
By Yusef Komunyakaa


Brother of the blowfly
And godhead, you work magic
Over battlefields,
In slabs of bad pork

And flophouses. Yes, you
Go to the root of all things.
You are sound & mathematical.
Jesus, Christ, you're merciless

With the truth. Ontological & lustrous,
You cast spells on beggars & kings
Behind the stone door of Caesar's tomb
Or split trench in a field of ragweed.

No decree or creed can outlaw you
As you take every living thing apart. Little
Master of earth, no one gets to heaven
Without going through you first.

This is a complete betrayal in my eyes. And what the fuck does she need this for? She’s had the juice in her writing for decades - it’s fine if she doesn’t want to write another novel; but why resort to slop? She’s fantastically wealthy, there’s no reason to do this besides one’s own dehumanization

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom?
'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

imagine being so good at a crime that they actually rename the crime after you, like if you were so great at doing murders nobody called it "getting murdered" anymore but instead called it "getting [your name]d." For Charles Ponzi, this is no mere hypothetical

i personally think “don’t fund the gestapo” is a relatively small ask in the face of an illegal violent occupation of a US city that has killed at least one citizen and terrorized countless more. any elected who cannot clear even that modest bar is dead to me

This shit infuriates me not only because it is sociopathic on its face, but because this morality-free, 30,000 foot framing *affects* how events affect elections! If voters constantly hear "meh, the ICE murders don't matter because polls haven't moved" then they won't matter!

If initial reports are true, they shot someone who they'd wrestled to the ground. Potentially an observer. These agents must be arrested and brought to justice.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

ICE also shot a woman here in Chicago, whom they made similar claims against. She didn't die, despite being shot multiple times, and the charges against her were eventually dropped, because the stories they tell to justify their violence are always bullshit and never hold up under scrutiny.

Talking about a violent incident in which they killed someone, as though their version of events should be presumed credible or correct, when judges have repeatedly found that their narratives *are not credible*, is a choice to support murderous fascist violence.
