at least it was acknowledged in the first place. how many people, even on the left, conceptualize buffalo, el paso, and tree of life as examples of a wave of lethal right-wing violence all carried out under the same anti-immigration ideology

alito wouldn't care about gay marraige's reliance interests either if they merely related to love or parenthood or personal relationships or any other aspect of human dignity. but they also relate to mortages and that makes them a different story

AI safety has one of the most influential senators in the country proposing a bill that would eviserate AI corps' entire business premise. it not on the side of the billionaires come the fuck on

Bernie's bill would be a stake through the heart of these company's entire business model, I don't know why you people are so determined to undermine, to the point of deploying this very sloppy reasoning ("why would RSI increase intellgence"? because that's entire point!)

the fact that some people were talking shit didn't mean there was even a tenth of the will that it would have taken to do abolition in the slave states tho. the heat was over new states

its so cool how this totally fake concept gets gussied up under the name "parental rights" and then used to prevent parents from getting the medical care for their children that they want

not as much of the evidence as people wanted/expected got kept out

even guns and weapons are marketed as "this will kill the other guy" not "this will cause uncontrolled destruction"

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Nuclear people did the opposite. The fossil fuel industry does the opposite. No car has been marketed as "so fast and powerful it will kill yourself and others." Crypto guys never said their product would crash the economy even when the things they claimed it would do would do so

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

has there ever been a historical case of a company warning that their product will cause massive and out of control harms as marketing copy?

not to discourage you from inculcating paranoia but if my local facebook is any indication people will absolutely tell you lol

its also hard to define the variables.. like if a competent statesman had been handed what trump had in 2024 it could have looked like 1981 in terms of reallignment. but if trump were a competent statesman he'd be an entirely different person

actually AI development is profoundly evil as currently practiced and slowing it is a very valid reason to oppose data centers

when it comes to the whole vibesession chart discussion stuff.. if one reason i'd be disinclined to say the economy isn't good is that it made elon musk a trillionaire, is that.. wrong? irrational? captured by any statistics?

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

which in a real way just exemplifies why the 40k in the question is a very bad deal. but still might make sense for many people

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

as a lot of the replies point out, the expert advice is in the context of a financial system where you could sell this bet or otherwise hedge it--the rational choice for most people, which most would take, would be to trade the chance for a million for a guarenteed 400 or 450k

this is such a huge part of it that i think is consistently missed: you don't need to find some consistent factor, because if someone decided that the 2023 economy was bad theres zero good reason for them to have changed their minds

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

end of covid stimulus also led to a wave of evictions, which spiked visible homelessness, which is also a huge part of the vibes

I think it should just be whatever was the tipping point state in the previous election. Make all the primary campaign infrastructure do maximum double-duty

when we had the anniversary of the 2024 debate recently and everyone talked about the feeling of growing horror as they watched it, i could not relate because this was exacrly how i felt then

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

altho south africa had pretty neutral iconography, if they'd been called Caucausia and had a swastika on its flag they'd probably have switched some stuff up

i noticed he was very conspicuously absent from the last one, despite doing tons of media

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

its beyond politics its just about misinformation altho of course the fact that 4 justices signed onto that bullshit makes that argument harder

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

its crazy to me, we have tons of law from a tribal context establishing what it means to not be subject to jurisdiction.. the same court that decided Wong Kim Ark vacated a murder conviction because the defendent wasn't subject to jurisdiction!

and attempted to overturn the ACA (like two or three times), and ICWA, and various gun control provisions. Tried to enjoin vaccine mandates, pre-Oberfell protections for gay couples. Just a huge, ideologically-motivated piece of shit

yeah elon is very much not helping but trump and especially trump winning in 24, in the face of eating the cats and dogs and PR thr island of garbage, was what really set us off to the races

yeah but stars are legion is a modern classic and i still routinely think about that baby bird from light brigade, 6 years after i read it

This is just straightforward white nationalist great replacement rhetoric, the kind of thing that would have been confined to neo-Nazi forums a decade ago. Multiple mass shooters in recent years believed exactly this.

that's hegseth's whole deal too.. half the reason the iran war happened was because they were convinced the only reason no one had done it previously was that they were all pussies

this is barely half-true in my experience. the water thing does top the list but the feeling that they will enable mass surveilance usually #2, and bipartisanly. also pretty much every normie iwill essentially cite x-risk if you give them permission. everyone's seen terminator 2

well we're not dealing with top men here

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

i mean that's the tell, isn't it? outside of some of what's coming from guys like elon, who are specifically mad about barriers to abusing their employees, most people who reference HR are not actually talking about human resources departments, they're just talking about women

Mr. Gosh Dang Sunshine @mroptimistic.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

i think the causation is backwards here, the reason data center opposition is so dramatic is that its bipartisan and the reason the right against it is because antisolar propaganda taught them to hate and fear utility projects at this scale

We've found that our friend T-Paine passed away recently. He was both funny and had a white hot anger at war that was consistent for the 20 odd years we'd known him. It was nice to see him connect with many of you over the past few years.
