COVID’s legacy is widespread, untreated and unacknowledged anxiety about the fragility of society in the face of forces beyond our control and, yes, this is a symptom of that

Y'know it's also possible that the "LLMs are conscious so you can't be mean to them" push is *mostly* just a stupid-but-thinks-theyre-clever (which describes SO MANY STEMlord "people") attempt at legal trickery re: "You CAN'T regulate it, it's legally a PERSON! Checkmate, Big Govt!"

Trump's treasonous, lawless diesel deal with Putin betrays Ukraine in exchange for a mere 3-day supply of diesel. It is pure political posturing at the expense of Ukraine. Trump is Putin's puppet. Trump has betrayed America and our national security by aiding and abetting Putin. Trump is a monster.

They're also parroting shareholders. MOST of the seeming "out of touchness" now is actually that the people selling stuff have adjusted to mainly selling the idea of their companies to investors rather than selling their company's products to customers.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections

America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

I’ve been wrong before, and might be wrong now, but I sort of feel like it isn’t necessary or helpful to parse trump’s most deranged utterances and give the the most charitable possible interpretation. There isn’t a clear meaning, there’s almost never a clear meeting, and that’s often on purpose.
