This feels like the dual to a mantra that greatly reduces the amount of bad trouble I create, "The more convinced I am that I'm right, the greater the risk that I'll hurt myself or someone I care for."

This insight should have closely followed the 1979 IBM policy that inspired it. Instead we elected Ronald Reagan.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

This is why it's essential to make noise about anti-trans Dems even if you're going to take a harm reduction approach to voting in the general. And perhaps be coy about *publicly* committing to or strongly advocating others take a harm reduction approach despite planning to vote that way.

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?

This Is Talarico better than Paxton for trans people? Almost certainly. Does clearing that subterranean bar justify our silence on Talarico's reprehensible position and the duplicitous timing of his shift? Absolutely not.

A+ for correctly identifying the all-pervasive horror vibe, but I think this misjudges which kind of horror story we're currently trapped in. We're in a cyberpunk static-filled-sky with rogue AI, gritty streets, and fascist-cheerleading corporate villain kind of horror story.

Even as someone who would make a different choice, I am repulsed by centrist infantilization of trans people who have chosen not to vote for Talarico in the general.

Meanwhile Talarico has said he'd ban surgery for minors and, as trans folks on here have pointed out, minors can mean anyone who is up to the age of 25. All you centrist bigots can eat my shorts. I'm not interested in your whinging or your justifications. You're useless to the trans community.

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

It's NEVER a bad time to loudly/persistently call out shits like Talarico for anti-trans bullshit & duplicitous campaigning. *Personally*, if in Texas I would still take a harm reduction approach to my vote in the general, especially against Paxton. I don't think anyone will forget this in 6 yrs.

Militarism, propaganda, fashion, and a contemptible (yet existentially threatening) enemy are more obvious, but state corporatism* dividing society into soldier, veteran/citizen, and civilian is the most telling sign of fascism in Starship Troopers. *Corporatism isn't about corporations. 1/2

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

If I want my real birth certificate, I can file a petition showing "compelling and good cause." But that doesn't help me when I have to go get a pelvic ultrasound to rule out endometrial or uterine cancer on Monday and boy it would sure be nice to know my bio family's medical history.

Once again I must complain about the fact that the state of California has decided that I don't deserve a real birth certificate or to know who gave birth to me. I'm 52 years old and I have a fake birth certificate that lists my mom and dad (the people who adopted me) and not my birth parents.

There are real concerns about AI, but super-intelligent AI deciding to kill us all is sci-fi. Extremely difficult to replace human labor sits across countless critical paths in the supply chain for computing & energy, dooming machines in a human free world. How humans use AI is the real risk.
Quote tweet from @EvanHub (Evan Hubinger) saying "Jacob is correct here-we really do earnestly believe Al could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to."

Qouted tweet from @hilbertspaess (Jacob Coxon) reads "The people building Al earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people..."
