No way that the AI companies are making it unaffordable to own and build and fix your own PC and have the ultimate goal of making everyone rent their hardware like phone companies have done with new handsets. That's definitely not happening

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Some Portlanders seem to think Angelita Morillo is a demon but if everyone on that council fought for Portland the way she does we’d live in a Utopia. The amount of heart & drive that she has is unreal. Part of why we can’t have nice things is that too many people don’t recognize a champion.

the conceit here is to pass off basically a Municipal Reagonomics sentiment as pragmatism. progressive pragmatism even! why i just openly identify as a democratic socialist, bc it’s important to be clear about what your program is. this shit is a tax cut for the rich and privatization program

For the duration of the Blazers’ time in Portland, every transit line that has a stop in the Rose Quarter Transit center should be fully funded, and should run 24 hours a day, with electric buses.

This idea that councilors should gather behind a literal paywall to talk about the Moda deal with Dundon, to get lobbied out of public view potentially as a quorum, instead of a public meeting is disturbing. That style of access-based lobbying to policy development is over.

If you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps I.C.E. agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with I.C.E. and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

Avalos said parks and program cuts are unacceptable, and the public deserves basic services they can use.

“If we get rid of things like parks, and we don’t maintain them, then that degrades people’s already low ability to participate in society because of the economic conditions that we’re living through,” Avalos said. “And then we’re cutting all the services that they’re paying their taxes for, then they’re like, ‘what the hell am I paying my taxes for?’”

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.
