"In the past 30 years, Americans have seen double-digit declines in practically every measure of socializing. They are less likely to play cards; attend a sporting event; go to the bar; volunteer; work on a community project." anyone who plays music could have told you this was happening

you aren't wrong but elections are apparently shaped by things like tan suits and dijon mustard so maybe they aren't entirely wrong either

Tucker: “I never understood why 🇬🇧 fought World War 2?” 😕 Rees-Mogg: “It was good vs. evil…We did the right thing…” Tucker: “Has 🇬🇧 benefitted?” RM: “We defeated Hitler… We’d all be speaking German…” Tucker: “Who cares?” 🤔

It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:

I can remember getting into heated arguments with devs who programmed in assembly for performance and stability who strenuously argued that those of us programming in 3GLs were wasteful and weren't real programmers

I'm personally stocking up on popcorn for the 2028 republican presidential battle between Donald Trump, one or more of his children or their spouses, a lineup of Ted Cruz clowns, and the sad minority of dead-ender Republicans who still think they can get their party back from the grift circus

"doesn’t have the neurological pathways that would allow it to feel pain" again, there is *nothing special* about the neurological pathways that allow us to feel pain. it's just another set of logic gates like "salty" "sweet" and "hot"

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

A Wealthy Russian Businessman Is Helping Fund Trump’s Stupid Ballroom. Nothing Sketchy About That, Right?
Surely, our president will face consequences for this insanity.

what makes a physical sensation different from any other sort of electrochemical messaging related to consciousness
101
Kellum Dander @kellumdander.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
If you believe you are in pain you experience the exact same pain even if no “pain signals” are being sent to cause it. Your brain is completely able to simulate pain that is literally the same experience as the real pain because it runs the same model.

Kellum Dander @kellumdander.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
The brain that interprets the signal is also “modeling pain” There is nothing inherently “painful” about the electrochemical signals that signal pain. There is just the interpretation of pain.

Kellum Dander @kellumdander.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I am not saying that I believe these machines experience pain the same way we do (if at all). If they have some form of consciousness, it’s clearly not human/animal consciousness. I am saying that if they have consciousness then we cannot rule out their ability to experience some form of pain.

Kellum Dander @kellumdander.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
At the experiential level I can’t say for sure what the difference would be, the experience of pain is the pain

emotional pain for example is as real as physical pain and can be caused by cognitive dissonance I think it’s conceivable these things could experience a kind of cognitive dissonance, as a hypothetical
