I don't understand how anyone can still be a capitalist in 2026 when so much of capital now prioritizes its core functions in capitalism (maximizing profit & minimizing risk) well below, like, exercising unprofitable control over its workers or building clout in a fucking group chat

I react very poorly when any proposed policy or plan is met with "but what if someone like Trump gets hold of it?? then it would be not good, but very bad" because there really is no law or institution that can work when a population is willing to elect the stupidest, worst asshole alive

this also explains a lot about why certain parts of the punditocracy specifically are so shocked and outraged by liberals having sincere left-wing social beliefs because they genuinely think that most everyone else is also pretending/“virtue-signaling”

Everything will continue getting weirder no matter what. I think we should lean into it some places. You can go a little bit crazy as a treat.

Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

I think if you meaningfully punish OpenAI & co for all of these cyberattacks then they will stop doing them. Whether or not you want to anthropomorphize the agents, you gotta just land there.

A left that could say “the future could be magnificent, and you deserve a share of it” was offering something people could want. Losing that voice to endless fights over whether wanting the future was itself morally suspect was a hell of a loss.

talking about water use policy is impossible because "AI data centers use a lot of water to cool the computers" sounds way more believable than "they're draining the Great Salt Lake so the Governor of Utah can sell alfalfa to Saudi Arabia" and yet

The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

leftism that clings to the Battle of Blair Mountain (1921) more than the Battle of Minneapolis (2026) is leftism that is more concerned with aesthetics than historical consequences.

You can't be posting this without the full text, where he says the problem is "fake and gay ads" and calls for Donald Trump to campaign harder in Iowa. They aren't just panicking, they're completely oblivious to how to solve the problem.

I think the Iran war gave a lot of people permission, because it is so counter to Trump’s promises as to provide a safe off-ramp without admitting that they were wrong before. If you voted for tariffs and tariffs impoverish you it’s much more painful to admit you were wrong.

I'm coining a piece of AI safety terminology that I'd like to refer to as the Bond Villain problem. As a field, AI safety heavily leverages sci-fi pretty heavily, so I figure this should be fine.

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.
