You could build an alternative LinkedIn today with only LLMs posting and no one would be able to tell. If you’re one great skill was always to write or say things that add nothing of substance but yet makes everyone slightly more enthusiastic, your ship has sailed.

Imagine how insane if pharmaceutical companies were allowed to conduct research, testing, and production in any way they liked. They could provide products to anyone, even kids, for free if they wanted (great for addictive drugs). We wouldn’t let *any* industry function like that, would we?

Holy hell, have you also noticed apps and services are broken all over the board now. Uncomplicated things that have worked for years, across all platforms, are suddenly full of annoying little interaction bugs. The kind of bugs a human tester would notice immediately.

Can all the mainstream pundits who called Trump the dove to Harris’ hawk please stand up. I have questions. Since this is the millionth time you got him wrong, how will you adapt? Don’t try ”who could know?”, since pretty much everyone but you guys figured him out circa 2017. What’s the plan?

An odd feature of post-truth democracy is that a political movements can wreck society and then successfully run on ’’look how broken society is’’.

Rewatching Severance. Its fusion of personality cult for industry leaders combined with evangelical overtones and a system of strict moral control feels very much in line with current changes in the US. It’s pretty scary.

If I made up a sycophantic newspaper that licked the nutsack of a corrupt president, I’d probably think this was going a bit too far.

Washington Post clipping saying: A new role for the South Lawn of Trump's White House: Tesla car lot
Critics said the spectacle stretched the bounds of what is ethical in the White House, with Trump openly seeking to boost the financial fortunes of Elon Musk.

Thinking the new notion brewing in the far right fever swamps, that USAID is some sort of nefarious nexus of the deep state, is so incredibly dumb it defies belief. Then I remember being totally stupid is not the deal breaker it used to be.

The fact that the world’s richest man, an unelected foreigner, can just seize the whole US system, is the the ultimate capitalist logic I believe Marx would chuckle at.

Striking how much entertainment this brand of politics is. No substance, no good faith, just cheap content to thrill the supporters and line the pockets of the party hacks. It’s bread and circuses, minus the bread.

Welcome to Trump 2.0: Stupid and Evil at the Same Time

There’s a beautiful cafeteria scene in Silo, season 2, where Shirley tells Sheriff Billings, who’s being properly fucked by a corrupt system, that he should fight back. But he’s spent his life telling himself the system is what prevents chaos. So all he can say is that the system is all we have.

The far right is such a low quality proposition. The presidency was sold in the open by an ignorant clown in makeup to an insecure little super nerd strung out on ketamine. Not a single supervillain in sight. No evil 4D chess plan. Just incompetence, grift and blatant lies. So stupidly haphazard.

Neoliberalism is the economic theory for stoners. It requires some serious bong rips to be taken seriously. ”No regulations for companies because the market will sort it out” is really the equivalent of ”if drugs were 100% organic they’d actually be good for you”.

I think it’s more useful to think of the US as taken over by authoritarian capitalism, rather than fascism.

It’s been 8 years. No good has so far come out of the MAGAfication of the GOP. Not one thing. How many more years will the average Democrat need to finally understand that bipartisanship is dead? They’re like junkies, addicted to the dream of the first hit of smack more than the drug itself.

Muskaswamy’s mission is not to make government more efficient. They want to sell the notion the US is wasting money on undeserving groups, so they can dismantle the federal state.

US foreign policy, based for generations on the divide and conquer stratagem, has a tendency to devolve into musical chairs. Enemies become friends, and friends become enemies. But sure, let’s get a bunch of drunk billionaire sex offenders in there and shake it up. What can possibly go wrong?

After being emotionally numb for years and doing all kinds of fucked up things, I came upon a guy on a beach and I just shot him. After being sentenced to death I spent the time in jail thinking about how life sucks but still not really giving two fucks about any of it. AITA?

So, because a couple of thousand uneducated Americans picked Trump, and everyone else is a little tired of inflation, we’re inching towards letting Putin get away with territorial conquest. Got it. It fucking sucks.

When you absolutely refuse to improve a few people’s lives in order to adress social problems, the only other option is to go to war and make everyone’s lives miserable.

Team Trump Debates 'How Much Should We Invade Mexico?'

The idea America should invade Mexico has become increasingly mainstream among Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers.

Yeah, it’s not that simple. There’s context. Political debate should be more than pugilism. Introspection matters. But still. It’s this.

So, apparently Musk will run the US like Twitter. Fire everyone, rebrand it into something stupid, make it generally suck and then have everyone leave. Has Canada prepared for this?

You can tell the election is over, because now all the editors in mainstream media is asking their journalists to double down on the grave dangers of a second Trump presidency.

Twitter is dying. Musk got his way. Bought it, and wrecked it to get more power. The rich will always take things we enjoy, exploit them to further their wealth, and then throw the carcass away. It’s always been the way of the world. But we should at least stop fucking admiring them.

Harris was a great candidate running a great campaign. They hardly missed a beat. In a world without right wing echo chambers like Fox, and without the attention economy of social media, she would have cleaned Trump’s clock. Democracies cannot function when lying comes with no political cost.

Sibben @sibben.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

Hillary was the better candidate but loses to Trump, who runs for funsies. Biden, 135 years old and without a pulse beats Trump. A smart, competent Harris runs a flawless campaign against a wildly flailing Trump and loses. If you can’t read the writing on that wall, no glasses will help you.

We will now have and endless cycle of media pundits trying to come up with reasons for the election results. Not one of them will bring up their own complicity. On the contrary, the horse race antics that helped make this possible will now just feed itself like a sick snake eating its tail.

I can laugh at this obvious buffoonery. But I’m also aware that this resonates with a lot of young, white men steeped in online influencer culture. Especially among gaming streamers you see this attitude of not taking things seriously a lot.
