When “believe women” and “believe Black women” disagree… that’s when you find out who that progressive White lady really is :-)

Pawns are the soul of chess, or whatever, as some guy said. How effectively a player utilizes pawns can be a pretty good measure of their ability.

Guy on lichess had a Netanyahu themed username so I checkmated them with a pawn

A chess position - the long and short of it is that black has castled and is up a lot of material, whereas white's king is exposed in the middle of the board with nothing. Black also has mate in one after black moved king to f4.

More detailed: White has a king on f4 (lmao), a queen on a4 a rook on a1, a bishop on c1, a knight on d2, and pawns on a2, b3, c4, e4, f3, and h2. Black has a king on g8, a queen on g1, rooks on a8 and f8, bishops on d7 and e7, knights on c6 and f6, pawns on a7, b7, c7, d6, f7, g7, and h7.

If I could go up to some of these middle class privileged assholes and say "if I can prove that I'm more competent than you in the field of public debate, I get to take your job," all of these guys in my Nextdoor comments would understand what it's like to be homeless and, potentially, wifeless.

When you give a homeless man a $5 and he walks into a store to buy a product, he is supporting that store and contributing to that store paying their employees and their rent. When your taxes go to a tax cut for a billionaire, you all don't see a single red cent of that go back to anyone you know.

The EXCUSES for it are what gets me, because it's something that liberals find so acceptable. The person who claimed I was supporting the "homeless economy" makes me mad. Because he received more respect than I did from an activist, and he's a fucking idiot. It's all the same economy, stupid.

Ben Hart @pavlovforgoths.com · 14h

Liberals really need to examine their hate of homeless people and realize that it comes from a fascist place. You cannot sit there and claim that black and trans and disabled lives matter and then blanket everyone who doesn't have money as being unworthy of support or help.

The key isn't getting people to agree with you. The key is getting people to look stupid to their peers by putting them in a position where they wouldn't normally be expected to watch what they say. And you do it by putting them in a position where they underestimate the person they're talking to.

If you want to see me doing this in a different way, there's the replies to a local Nextdoor post. I don't think Katherine thinks that I'm 'supporting the homeless economy,' but I definitely think she didn't read the comments thoroughly before responding.

It is reality, no negativity. Most of these places are full or overflowing. I work hard everyday looking for help for my clients, but the money just isn't there for these organizations. As soon as help opens up, it closes.

I don't think publicly siding with what Lee and Herman are saying reflects well on your professionalism but if perhaps I've misunderstood you, and you would like to have a discussion about this issue in particular, my DMs are always open and I am always working to try to support resources in Athens.

Great map to sustaining homelessness and enriching the homeless economy. I appreciate that you included the the public library to ensure it’s used to fullest capabilities: who needs children at the library when the homeless phones need to be charged. But as long as you feel good about yourself. That’s what matters in the homeless economy

This is why I'm so in favor of accessory commercial units. Just getting people in the US used to **walking** for a cup of coffee or a sandwich in the neighborhood may finally do something to rid Americans of our terminal car brain.

I hate when people throw around words like "psychosis" and not know what they mean, because AI has definitely induced psychotic episodes in people. What people are describing as "anti-AI psychosis" is distaste and distrust of AI.

you should feel uncomfortable with frontier AI models not because the tools lack uses but because everyone who works in hyperscale AI wants to worship these machines and every algorithm that behaves unexpectedly is an enfant terrible they admire, love, and hope to have care for them in their dotage

Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

California is teeming with black-market dairies, propped up by consumer demand fueled by misinformation. With evidence against one raw goat milk farm, regulators could have sought punitive action. But...

AI has (incorrectly) identified me as the author of a smut book called “My Grumpy Billionaire Secret” and offered to replace my AI audiobooks with new AI audio the future is now

Hi Molly, My Grumpy Billionaire Secret is on Audible with a virtual voice edition, and that flat read is the first thing a listener hears. We'd remake it and get it onto 20+ audiobook platforms. Still a synthetic voice, but directed, with pacing and music, so it actually holds attention. Want the first chapter done free so you can hear it? Alek

I posted this article to Reddit a while back and someone was like "I don't like this, it doesn't engage with any key points" and the answer is that it's not actually an article designed to make a point. It's designed to make people who are already inclined to disagree with it angry.

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.
