Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

The immutable, unnamed American law of The Dumbest Thing That Can Happen Will Happen dictates that the Democrats will win the House handily, as projected, and take the Senate 51-49, making John Fetterman the most powerful flesh husk in America for the next 24 months.

I just don't think there's a situation here whereby the PR effects of negative consequences outweigh the negative consequences themselves. Fascists are emboldened by impunity, not self-sacrifice.

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.

Obviously there are no perfect - and few good - parties to vote for, and I don't want to suggest that that's a feature rather than a bug of democracy, but equally, at least it's *honest*. People are stupid, self-centered, and crass, and can't be trusted with any kind of authority. And it shows.

Monsters in Videogames are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

I feel like that's a questionable statement, what Tamaki would most like is to say horrible things that incite violence and hatred and to face no consequences for doing so. Grifters are in it for the power and the money, they're not the sort of people to lie down on a wire for a cause? =/

I am not *entirely* convinced by some of the methodology behind the debunking of the Russian data centre strikes, and also, the result seems to have been the largest anti-Ukraine behind-the-scenes freakout by both Trump and Musk (or else the timing for that is spectacularly coincidental).

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.
