My thoughts on the 700+ LLM papers on math and mathematical physics is less concern that LLMs can replace me and more concern that everyone from leaders to the population at large is willing to pretend that LLMs can replace me because "stop supporting research" seems have worldwide appeal.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t get help, I’m saying insulting people doesn’t help. Otherwise yes I agree

Centrists on here are actually kind of concerning. They have a lot of the behavioral patterns of people who fall into fascism.

Okay one more thing on this. The irony is not lost on me that one of the most prolific pessimists on here fights and organizes harder than all the people here who, despite their rhetoric to the contrary, think posting is praxis.

Now that I think about it, why do people on here think if you say anything even as mild as “yeah maybe they shouldn’t have said such and such” but telling people who are struggling to go fuck themselves never threatens votes?

I’d give more of a shit if the aggressive hypocrisy wasn’t so rank.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It’s also kinda funny how people say “don’t despair or we lose!!!!!” and then see one mild critique of a democratic politician on a website where everyone is gonna vote for them anyways and start crashing out that Trump’s reign will be everlasting.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

But what do I know? I’m a person with a shoe string support system that is expected to shut up and be a good little soldier. No, I’m done playing that game. As is everyone else on this hellhole of a website.

I’m not going to say I’m perfect, but when other people’s mental health problems drag me down, I don’t lash out at them and instead use coping mechanisms to do literally anything else. Skill issue.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

All I’m saying at this point is that if your reaction to people having depression is “lmao stop being sad and shut up you stupid fuck” then maybe you’re the same type of stupid asshole you complain about.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I deleted the last thread like this, but yeah when you’re privileged and never had real problems, despair is a lot easier to hold at bay. Again though, a taste of real problems and discomfort and people on here start using shitty social behavior as a coping mechanism.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I’d rather help someone despairing than watch one more privileged ass wipe use being an asshat to cope with the horrors.

This is not a “social media has no cons or negative effects” post. This is a “oh wow geez maybe we should think about how to shut down reactionaries and the billionaires that own it rather than thinking it’s a cursed artifact” post.

Rahm Emanuel, who has about a good a chance of being president as I do, has been profiled like 9 times in the last couple months in major newspapers. It really shows you how profoundly out of touch the people are that drive much of our national political discourse.

This post really pissed me off. As someone who has been an activist for forty years and training activists, organizers and non-profit leaders for 15 years, one of the most relevant factors for continued engagement is whether people enjoy the work, feel like they belong, and find community in it.

I want Peltola to win still, I’m not gonna blow smoke up people’s asses that what she did wasn’t awful. Especially being a victim of that same abuse for over 21 years. In fact, I’d like to imagine people appreciate being handled as adults who can see different tiers of evil.

Furthermore, there are reasons that I will never run for office. The fact that, in my adult life, I have done things that are less horrible but still disqualifying. Instead I can make way for people with, hopefully, less baggage.

Phoenix Empress Maylisht Stan @madilynll.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

You can say one thing sucks but another thing sucks more. You can be honest about something sucking more and that you should choose the thing that sucks less. It’s not illegal to mot blow smoke up people’s asses.

Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:

Infographic titled "Six Ways 'Rigged Election' Rumors Mislead." A two-column table pairs six labeled categories with descriptions. The first three categories are:

No Evidence: The rumor is entirely unsubstantiated. There's no evidence to support the rumor.

Fake/False Evidence: The rumor is based on fake or synthetic evidence (e.g. AI-generated content), manipulated evidence, or false witness testimony.

Misinterpreted Evidence: This rumor is based upon real evidence that has been misinterpreted or intentionally mischaracterized to create a false impression.

A black banner then introduces the final three categories: "Real Evidence, Real Voting Issue, False Narrative."

Exaggerated Impact: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but falsely insinuates or exaggerates impact on election results.

Ignored Remedies: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but ignores and/or obscures the remedies that would address this problem

False Blame: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but either falsely attributes intent for an accidental issue or places blame on an innocent party.
