When you think of it, artificial intelligence is ableist and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper Marxist movement should seek to abolish it.

same motivation and urge behind "let's not go for impeachment while the iron is hot, let's see if we can talk pence into invoking the 25th". any action that involves any sort of risk or blowback, they want someone else to be the one throwing their body on the gears for them.

to whatever faint degree dems as a whole want to introduce consequences for the prez, they're probably hoping "can we find someone else to do it for us" who can be the one to take all the blowback and heat and attention for them, much like they hoped mueller would pull the trigger for them

it's so awesome that it doesn't matter if you're a radical leftie or a VBNMW type who just wants to see some basic consequences for the prez, and it doesn't matter how popular the demand you have is, these motherfuckers just don't care what you think regardless

One of the basic points in Mills' The Racial Contract (originally published in 1997!) was that, if nothing else, White Supremacy deserves to be taken seriously as one of the great motivating ideologies of modernity and it's bizarre that political philosophers are so disinclined to treat it as such.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

it should be mentioned that the 2014 status quo for trans people still meant that we had suicide risks, unemployment numbers, life expectancy, poverty risk that were way worse than the average person, and somehow asking for this is seen as frivolous luxury and purity testing

There are 750 screens in the film market labeled "the Caribbean". A majority Black audience and Black-led films do well there. Not tracked by Box Office Mojo or The Numbers. Should be listed under "international". If tracked, it'd prove Black-led casts to be more lucrative & we'd get more.

That’s such an important point. There was a case here where a quadriplegic man went to the ER and was denied a special mattress and wasn’t regularly turned. He developed horrible pressure sores and ended up doing MAiD because he “didn’t want to be a burden”. That ER made him feel like a burden

1980s toy cartoon franchise stuns crowd by speaking fluent traumaqueer dehumanization fantasy

excerpt from the transformers Wiki:

Domestication is a gruesome form of torture, a medical process designed to denigrate and humiliate Transformers who possess beast modes. By lobotomizing the Transformer in question, mutilating their voice box, and subsequently denting their transformation cog, the victim becomes little more than a feral animal, unable to comprehend their situation or return to robot mode.

Fiction: 2005 IDW continuity:

Dominus Ambus served as a mole within the Decepticon Justice Division until his cover was eventually blown. As retribution, Kaon had Dominus domesticated, leaving him permanently trapped as a turbofox that his tormentor adopted, nicknaming him "The Pet". After the end of the war, the ex-Decepticon Demus began kidnapping and domesticating beast mode Transformers, marketing them as fun "Roboid" toys. These half-dead "toys" were marketed to violent, robophobic species across the galaxy, and buyers tended to use them as torture dolls; the Roboids in question were just sentient enough to feel the pain. Following Demus's death, Fortress Maximus took custody of the Roboids, and Spinister left Maximus a note explaining how to reverse the domestication process.
