the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

These people don't want a "color-blind meritocracy"! They are white supremacists who believe non-whites are inferior and the benefits of our citizenship should reflect it.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Text message from 737-259-0938, it says:

Talarico HQ : Is there ANYTHING we can say to convince you to contribute to our campaign before our FEC deadline ends in 7 days?

I responded "You can say you unequivocally support trans people"

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

This is very important. I have a LOT of feelings toward Talarico's dumb ass, but we can NOT let this genocidal half-melted butter sculpture into the US Senate. Ken Paxton is Scum Incarnate, and he makes a sport out of abusing trans kids in Texas while chasing other trans kids across state lines.

So, I like the fact that @jamestalarico.bsky.social said on Kimmel he, “answers the hard questions”—one being an answer I vehemently disagree with regarding the trans community. So I will leave James, a man of faith, with this deep biblical dive on the subject as a scripture-based alternative.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Italy at 3.0%, Canada at 2.8%, Great Britain at 2.6%, Germany at 2.4%, France at 2.0%, and Japan at 1.5%. The US inflation rate is more than double Japan's and stands as the only G7 country exceeding 3.0%.
