Could not ask for a better distillation of the AI mindset. Who cares about what the words mean as long as they look right?

AI people lose their minds if you refuse to drink the kool-aid. They don't act like people with any other tool - ok, it's been good for me, but if you don't like it, I understand. It's like their worldview depends on you accepting that this is necessary to survival nowadays.

It's so telling that the 'causes' of Oct 7th to these people never includes Israel's complete blockade of Gaza...

No I'm sorry. The cultural influence of blackface and minstrel shows is vast, but those things were harmful because they were *much more* than just white people singing songs by black people. Blackface was harmful because it put the vast cultural world of oppressed people in a box to mock them.

My feelings on this are relatively straightforward: if you lie about the arguments people are making to direct harassment and anger their direction, you're a psychopath.

If you think this way you have no business discussing public policy.

We dodged a bullet with Kat. Imagine someone in elected office who thinks that answering basic questions like 'what is thr goal of this program' and 'is this an effective way to achieve that goal' are beneath her.

A remarkable honest and revealing comment: Will Stancil is someone I don't like, therefore telling lies about him is ok. If 90% of his haters were this honest, I would consider it real progress.

This is why 'vibsession' discourse matters. When the next recession comes along, we want politicians to choose the 2020 response and not 2008. Leftists claim to want the 2020 response, but are far angrier about the 2020 outcome than 2008.

Hi Ben, since you post about me every day and email me unsolicited even after I told you to stop, lets play a game. Every time you tweet about me, I donate $10 to a trans org. Let's call it the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund. southernequality.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/fo...
A screenshot of a mobile webpage showing a donation confirmation. At the top is the logo for the "Trans Youth Emergency Project," an initiative by the Campaign for Southern Equality. Below it is a green checkmark, the amount "$10.69", and the message "Thank you for making a donation!" followed by text explaining the gift will support life-saving care for trans youth.A screenshot of a nested social media thread. At the top, user Benjamin Ryan comments that FIRE CEO Greg Lukianoff's observation about trans issues being "immediately radioactive" and a kind of "secular blasphemy" caused Harvard Law clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo to attack him as "extremely transphobic."
​Attached is a screenshot of Caraballo's post, which reads: "Here's the CEO of [FIRE] being extremely transphobic. Which side is the one criminalizing care and research? Which side is the one defunding all research? Which side is purging dissent? It ain't trans people."
​Caraballo's post quotes Lukianoff's original statement, where he writes: "In my career defending academic freedom and free speech, I never saw anything become as immediately radioactive as views that ran counter to the narrative on trans issues. Papers were retracted, compelled speech was treated as normal, and people were canceled for saying things that would have sounded like common sense just a few years earlier. It seemed to become a kind of secular blasphemy overnight."

Photo I took while walking the dog this morning. Freezing rain left a thin coat of ice on the trees, and it's scattering the light from the streetlight behind.

@discordpod.bsky.social ever since a throwaway line in your Van Halen episode, I've been putting together a Playlist that I can only describe as 'Camaro music' - music meant to be blasted while driving a '73 red Camaro. Rules are simple: hard cutoff of 1980, music that makes you want to speed. 1/

A modern retelling of beauty and the beast, where instead of a fairy cursing a young prince for denying her a place to stay, it's me getting poor customer service at a Motel 6 and throwing acid in an immigrant child's face

Listening to @ifbookspod.bsky.social podcast in Sapiens, and it's not remotely the most important thing in the book, but literally screaming "He thinks Indians got TEA from thr British?"

my paternal great grandparents got off a boat in Newark and were americans from the moment they touched american soil. my only objection to that pattern is that i think we should send a plane to pick up anyone who declares themselves an american.

I recently listened to the first Gentle Giant album on @tarkus1980.bsky.social recommendation (shoutout to @discordpod.bsky.social) After hearing "Alucard" them opening for Black Sabbath makes a lot more sense.

@discordpod.bsky.social I was going through your back catalog recently and decided to give the Gentle Giant 'Octopus' episode a relisten. It inspired me to dive back into their catalog - I forgot how hard these guys could rock! 1/2
