not to devalue the moral consequences of the Bush era, but Trump has shifted the "The Discourse" to like, core questions of whether virtue matters, if we should have a national conscience or just nihilistic rage at a world we can't control. it's more "temptation by the Devil" than policy debates

there's a thing in moderate democratic politics where it is considered fundamentally illegitimate to deliver results to your own voters; instead, you must propose a better way to implement your adversaries' entire ideological program

every story on the impoundment stuff is "crazy eyed dems say THE PRESIDENT did something 'unlawful' [scare quotes]" which is basically equivalent to saying "Handsome Trump killed another person without justification or excuse, with malice aforethought, which his weak soy enemies say is 'murder'"

Man the first minute of this video is difficult to watch. It's great that Marathon is still going but its punishing difficulty really served the narrative in a way that's rare in videogames today. Sobering stuff

It really is difficult to put into words how much of a work of art Marathon is, how pretty much all of its storytelling is about how utterly fucked and alien the setting is and how anti-cathartic it is. It's like watching STALKER. Bad things are happening and all you can do is watch

some of you may not grasp this because you only regularly speak to a ten person reading group who are afraid to go outside, but in the real world, most normies' political views are determined entirely by osmosis from what is floating in the air, which means less bad stuff floating = better

seems like a problem that any social issue that's difficult to fully understand inevitably is dominated by the politics of people who do not understand the issue even a little bit and don't want to and get mad if you ask them to try

i think the AI industry sorta wants and benefits from the public thinking of it as some kind of separated, inchoate intelligence rather than a tool used by humans for human purposes that dissolves their responsibility. you regulate the tool user, not the tool, after all.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

people say this in first-past-the-post democracies for instrumental reasons but you can see, e.g., in Brazil, fascists pulling even with socialists. Die Linke is picking up essentially no one from the right-wing coalition. boring neoliberal technocracy is stomping a mudhole into fascists in Canada.

I do think MAHA comes out of frustration with interaction with evidence based medicine but that’s often because the nature of evidence based medicine is that it can’t answer questions as simply and definitively as people want, whereas an alternative doc can speak as authoritatively as their pastor
