Megan Rapinoe losing out on a world cup advertising brand deal for being an outspoken trans ally as a result of AI decision making underlines how these tools function as mechanisms for censorship and blanding culture into nothingness.

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

With all due respect to how disgusting and perverse the news itself reliably is, there's something especially bracing and weird about how every stupid story out of the Trump administration reveals what the dipshit weirdos in these high offices are thinking about and doing instead of those jobs.

Especially if that following is part of a niche/hobby community, since those are spheres where people are extra quick to share exciting creative things with their friends. It's just a way to get as many eyeballs on their slop as quickly as possible, then use that attention as leverage.

Attention is a commodity and you never know where the next viral thing will come from. Having a loyal following (of any size) makes you very valuable/attractive to a certain kind of garbage person, unfortunately.

Perfectly normal that Mitch McConnell’s office is savvy enough to literally take a photo of him with today’s newspaper to prove he isn’t dead, but not savvy enough to have released a simple statement that he was having these perfectly normal health issues earlier than today. Not sus at all, man

More people need to read this. There is no such thing as a "historically accurate Odyssey," because the 'Odyssey' is not set in a real historical time. It is set in the mythic Age of Heroes, not the real-life Bronze Age. #Odyssey #Homer #classics kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2026/07/odys...

History and the <i>Odyssey</i>

The Odyssey is not set in the Bronze Age. It is totally flooded with classical-era motifs, with a smattering of archaic touches.

“Culture of impunity” is right. The demand is to never hold public figures accountable for wrongdoing, not even verbally when they’re already beyond the reach of human accountability and won’t hear the criticisms and jokes. The legacy must be sanitized, or current elites might feel less impunity.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

You don't need to be in Kentucky, this isn't a problem unique to them! You're angry at people shouting on social media instead of actually doing anything to solve the problem, so get off the internet and go *work on solving the problem*

Infinitestrings @infinitestrings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Again: you're saying you want the government to have the power to demand medical information directly from healthcare providers if they decide there are "exigent circumstances." There are much better ways to solve this that won't be immediately abused.

Infinitestrings @infinitestrings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

It is absolutely a problem that there's no mechanism for removing a senator who's unable to perform their duties. Since you feel so strongly about this, I assume you're already working with people in your community to push for legislation to fix that?

100

Infinitestrings @infinitestrings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Yes, that's what I read. Have you? It's the procedure for what to do if there's a vacancy. That's it. You're creating a false dichotomy where the only options are "allow the government to toss really important rights out the window" or "shame people on social media." And that's just not the case!

200

Infinitestrings @infinitestrings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

But advocating that we should toss HIPAA out the window or let governors decide to just declare a special election to replace a senator because they think he's disabled is not a good idea. These are not powers we want to be giving politicians right now.

Infinitestrings @infinitestrings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

So I just went and read the text of the Kentucky laws on this, and there's not really a way for him to do that. I understand your frustration, and this is a problem!

"I'm so incredibly sick of watching you not forcing people to break the law!!!!" He cannot waltz into a hospital and make them give him information about a patient. Do you actually want politicians to be able to do that?

The Trump administration last year cut the CDC’s program that monitors food-borne illness outbreaks so they can intervene. In case you’re wondering why an outbreak of explosive diarrhea has sickened 2000 people but the CDC is only reporting 145 cases. www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-di...
