It’s also really clear to me this week that the people telling us that AI will transform work…haven’t seen a lot of jobs where people work.

Yeah, there's the French way of doing poly and the Bay Area way of doing poly, and they're each racist and sexist in completely different ways.

There is absolutely NOT some kind of slippery slope from “LGBT inclusion in the workplace” to “Aella’s slutcon is de facto mandatory,” which is underscored by the thing where the AI sex cult scene is considerably less inclusive than mainline tech of sexual orientation minorities

Because the Democrats who take over in 2029 will inherit a bankrupt country, anti trust and anti corruption should be the circuses performed for voters. There's no bread to offer.

I’ll take “Things That Never Happened for $500” “Whenever Democratic political operatives gather to drink these days, they talk about three things: their chances in the midterms, who will be the nominee in 2028, and if they have read — or are in — “the book.”

Worth pointing out that this will disproportionately harm men. Despite all the right wing caterwauling about the "war on boys" they don't intend to stop waging it.

This is your regular reminder that only about 20% of California's water use is for urban uses; of that 20%, something like 30 to 40% is for lawns and pools; and people living in dense cities use much less water than people in suburban mcmansions

Uh, it's actually extremely easy to prove otherwise? Urban consumption is a minuscule fraction of overall water usage in this country. Look to the agricultural sector if you want to see where all our water is going.

Anti-transplant folks tend to be more accepting of "immigrants" because immigrants are poorer and aren't as engaged politically which allows them and their interests to stay in power.

the funny thing is that you can hear this from certain wealthy left-leaning folks in SF who have been here just a bit longer, and learned to partition new arrivals into Good and Bad Gentrifiers - carving out a space where systemic issues _are_ individuals' fault, but not their fault, of course
