I think "reading a book is performative" is the end point of American anti-intellectualism. The mere act of reading is now suspicious to swaths of slug people.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Okay I guess I’m just a Big Sleep poster now (though next week I’ll be moving on to Double Indemnity) but my class is having its final discussion about the book tomorrow & man the second to last paragraph is just so fucking fantastic. Pardon my almost-correct Hamlet annotations.

Outside the bright gardens had a haunted look, as though small wild eyes were watching me from behind the bushes, as though the sunshine itself had a mysterious something in its light. I got into my car and drove off down the hill.

What did it matter where you lay once you were dead?
In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you greet were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were
the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big
sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell Me, I was part of the nastiness now. Far more a part of it than Rusty Regan was. But the old man didn't have to be. He could lie quiet in his canopied bed
with his bloodless hands folded on the sheet, waiting.

the aesthetic triumph of The Sopranos is that from within the period (and not a decade or two hence as is typical) it saw and reflected PRECISELY how tacky everything about everything was. they were gross people! and so was basically every other part of The Last American Monoculture!!

Idk, but I don’t think a mass casualty event that les to a new age of racism and xenophobia as well as security theater and mass surveillance in the name of safety is really necessary for a “shared bond” among Americans.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Have you seen any reporting on how solar power generation in the USA is 5 times higher than it was in 2020 in mainstream outlets? If not, why do you think this is not being widely covered the same way other large technological changes are?

There is an ongoing genocide in Palestine, a pointless war against Iran, and a project of ethnic cleansing being carried out as we speak on the streets of the US every day. If you spend one second inventing a hypothetical threat because of opposition to this you are running cover for the rest of it

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.

If Ai’s core assertion were true that freeing “thinkers” from mundane tasks lets them create higher-level work, then most of the US’s great works of art, science, and literature should have come from the antebellum South and that is definitively not the case.
