Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

There is nothing quite so clarifying about the typical American’s real politics than how they respond to *slight* inconveniences. The loudest denunciations I’ve heard of recent protests cited that they blocked traffic, and were therefore wrong. At least the bootlickers let you know who they are.

If our federal government wasn’t this much of a fucking joke, actually starting these riots to begin with, I’d be lobbying for an independent federal agency that does nothing but investigate the police. Permanent special grand juries in EVERY. MAJOR. CITY.

Americans jerk it to “2nd amendment solutions” 24/7, but the second Americans actually riot and fight back against oppression, they fall all over themselves to say that violence achieves nothing. If it achieves nothing, then why are you afraid of it?

I have my own opinion brewing as I’ve been watching the show, but what do you all think about The Handmaid’s Tale? Is its lack of trans representation a form of TERF ideology or trans erasure? Did anyone feel it was conspicuously silent on this aspect of gender?

Hot take: LLMs and transformer based Ai generally should be restricted to people over 18. They’re probably 10x the threat that the internet was to education when I was in school, with few of the advantages.

Lloyd @lloydw.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

So, Google has actually done it. I now no longer use it to find basic information. It’s become as useless for that as any other LLM, and more so than most. Can’t think of a bigger product self own.

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale in 2025 is a pretty fucking bleak experience.

I'l submit that Podcasting has been incredibly effective at showing people celebrities and the rich are often morons and conmen, who have little of interest to say, and less understanding of the world. The damage this has done to capitalism is probably more than they realize.

In an effort to resharpen my Czech, I’m rewatching the sopranos in Czech dubbing, which I’ve done before, but as always, I find new things each time I do. The Pilot is little regarded today compared to the final season, yet it’s a low key masterpiece. 1/

The worst thing about American politics isn’t the Republican Party. Evil and stupidity can’t win over time. They always lose eventually. No. The worst part is the Democratic Party, because they actually believe they’re reformers. And so no reform ever occurs.

I think we need to consider taking steps to protect @hankgreen.bsky.social as a vital national resource. Perhaps a "greenback" reserve of skeets and videos that can be used to sanify the public in times of great upheaval. A Hankus Ex Machina of sorts.

I think maybe we need to have a little talk about Ai and SEO. Yes, it’s possible to “do SEO” using Ai Agents. No you shouldn’t do that. Why? Because just like it’s *immoral* to do plenty of things you can very bloody well do, information pollution is IMMORAL.
