It’s not about fairness in sports. Sports was never fair. Even Gladwell noticed this It’s about humans who have committed no offense having full participation in life. Bc if you erase people from public spaces it is easier to quietly erase them entirely It is a spear tip of genocide & it’s fascist

Ok. Just a teeny tiny short story time you can enjoy while you eat lunch, since this is still bouncing around the internet. A lot of folks are harping on about wanting our politicians to support the rights of trans folks being a "single issue voter" situation, and we're just naive.

Every single time a young republican gets famous for being unfairly judged you look at what they did and it's always them being utterly fucking mediocre. It's always them being embarrassingly shit at something and then pissing and moaning about being expected to have met any standards.

Fauci is a piece of shit and so is Rand Paul. The same liberals that act like COVID isn't a thing anymore are livid that the guy who repeatedly lied and destroyed public health is being attacked. Fauci, Trumpers, and the liberals who went back to brunch in 2021 all deserve each other.

In an era of a fascist takeover, unlimited corruption, death squads waging war on American cities, aggressive wars of choice, endless war crimes, a child sex ring involving the president, etc, centrists are finally taking action: to attack the left. The only centrist goal is to suppress the left.

One thing I think a lot of the "A.I." discourse misses is that while the technology is fundamentally incapable of doing most of what the companies are pitching to the public, as long as you don't mind the harms caused by constant errors it is well suited as surveillance tech

Seizing people’s ill gotten gains is entirely consistent with abolition and I do think it’s a bigger deterrent than the threat of prison. It also arguably accords more with justice as the scale & breadth of corruption-for-thievery taking place is almost unfathomable.

A trend that has been trending through every presidency of my lifetime. It’s notable that the lines crossed under Biden. This is the Neoliberal Era in one chart. It’s what happens when conservatives dominate our institutions with centrists as opposition. It’s what happens when spending is speech.
