A reminder that Bill Maher is an anti-trans, Islamophobic bigot and scab. He's not brave; his whole thing is appealing to people's prejudices as "common sense" and then playing the victim when marginalized groups are rightly upset that he's contributing to their ongoing suffering. Fuck that guy.

We love stories that whisper from unseen forest of bones, croon between owls and shadows, shatter the tasteless arches of tyrants, scream into the void of loneliness, lift the child who saved you from despair, skydive into the fiery crater of the unknown.

On the one hand, I'm always depressed when somebody turns out to have AI psychosis. But it's nice to be like, "Well, great that I never have to think about anything that person makes or does anymore." So much time to find more genuine, honest creators!

"The advance of capitalist production develops a working class which by education, tradition and habit looks upon the requirements of that mode of production as self-evident natural laws." Marx, Capital I, Part VIII, Ch. 28
"It is not enough that the conditions of labour are concentrated at one pole of society in the shape of capital, while at the other pole are grouped masses of men who have nothing to sell but their labour-power. Nor is it enough that they are compelled to sell themselves voluntarily. The advance of capitalist production develops a working class which by education, tradition, and habit looks upon the requirements of that mode of production as self-evident natural laws. The organizations of the capitalist process of production, once it is fully developed, breaks down all resistance. The constant generation of a relative surplus population keeps the law of supply and demand of labour, and therefore wages, within narrow limits which correspond to capital's valorization requirements. The silent compulsion of economic relations sets the seal on the domination of the capitalist over the worker."
