My interpretation: they're waiting to assess blowback and when that proves to be minimal, they're totally going for it again.

And I think it harms everyone to use terms reserved for the oppressed like Othering in defense of people who are divvying people up into categories & caging them so I guess we all got some shit to work on.

An Anti-Palestine Antisemitism Plan
A recent proposal from the mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has been met with what could best be described as mixed responses from within the Palestine solidarity movement. There’s good reason.

Definitions are difficult for fascists. Mussolini himself couldn't really define fascism. Reading his attempts to do so is like trying to read slop. Of course, USians are struggling something fierce in this department too. Especially since the LLM takeover.

A big piece of the success of the October revolution was the defection of the soldiers to the Bolshevik camp. Mao has some stuff to say on this topic as well.

The worst part about remote work is how brutal it is to do comedy bits when everyone has their mics muted and you can't see their reactions. For the sake of the needy comedians at your job, please unmute your mic and throw in some pity laughs. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

A Worker Reads History
Who built the seven gates of Thebes?
The books are filled with names of kings.
Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed.
Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima's houses,
That city glittering with gold, lived those who built it?
In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished
Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome
Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Byzantium lives in song.
Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in Atlantis of the legend
The night the seas rushed in,
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves.

Young Alexander conquered India.
He alone?
Caesar beat the Gauls.
Was there not even a cook in his army?
Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet
was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears?
Frederick the Great triumphed in the Seven Years War.
Who triumphed with him?

Each page a victory
At whose expense the victory ball?
Every ten years a great man,
Who paid the piper?

So many particulars.
So many questions.

-Bertolt Brecht

Problems have solutions. Contradictions do not. They are permanent points of tension that can only be managed within the system in which they are embedded. They only go away when the system as a whole disappears.

I'm making $$$ right now reverting big teams back to actual development, off of using LLM-Code generation, because it introduces lots of subtle bugs that "devs" who use LLMs have lost the skill/cognitive control to see and are costing companies millions. The Age of LLM-generated source is waning.

Building a better world does not mean Thanos snapping the evil guys out of existence. It's actually about completely restructuring society around maximizing human flourishing rather than profit and giving everyone the power to contribute to socialist construction.
