'you're cognitively offloading'. yes. correct. that is what i wish to do. i do not wish to expend cognition figuring out which pharmacist takes my insurance and is closest. i want to offload it & be told who that is. you are free to continue manually doing this task you evidently find so meaningful

I just listened to this ep and find Timnit's "regulatory capture" argument very persuasive. Weird because I've found other arguments from this person to be quite the opposite. Still struggling to find my pov on the threat of AI. So noisy. I hate our current info environment.

you didn't need expert analysis to know mass deportation means a violent orgy of inhumane tactics. maybe you didn't foresee literal masked goons on the street or ice shooting citizens or CECOT. okay fine. but eat some crow and say "i was stupid to think mass deportations wouldn't entail a crisis"

If I remember right, at the time a lot of leftists scoffed at this, saying she was fear mongering and actually Trump's plan wasn't any different than the Dems.

When I see (white, cis, straight—not talking about ppl moving for immediate safety) friends talking about getting their EU citizenships in order/bailing on the US, I feel a really strong need to emphasize how fascism has always been a global phenomenon! There's nowhere to go where you can ignore it.

This is the actual reason why "purity tests" on the left-wing are bad. If you allow yourself to grow so obsessed with the goodness of your politics that pitching them to the public feels like debasement, you are fucking useless to the cause of progress and will never accomplish anything.

No, it targets people who think that a bar going from having a mask mandate seven nights a week to having a mask mandate six nights a week is *literally genocidal*, and I don't have so much contempt for the disabled, chronically ill, or COVID-conscious to believe that they all think that.

The Laken Riley act is a direct consequence of Democrats staying home and exit polls showing that anti immigrant policies were what voters wanted. Because the people who wanted more immigrant friendly policies - didn't vote. So they don't exist. Expand this to any issue you like.

But I also think it can be about places we expect or desire safety and empathy. I'm not sure the betrayal of the fantasy football group chat hits as hard for that reason. We hold certain spaces and groups to a higher standard, they fall much further.

It is also entirely plausible that Newsom vetoed that bill to preserve the governor’s broad power and discretion, rather than for transphobic reasons. He already signed legislation making California a sanctuary state for gender medicine.
