squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just a friendly reminder that they don't have enough ice agents to surround every polling place in even a single large city, let alone the entire country so go vote anyways. 110
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The thing I never see people talk about when they are freaking out about the human-robot boxing match is that there is a point where you can literally see a dude using a large controller device to control the robot 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026and allows you to argue your fear mongering interaction farming arguments without having to actually argue against what is actually being said because it doesn't require that you provide evidence. 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The rich getting away with crimes is nothing new or novel in this country. I don't agree with it and I would love to see them get held to accountability. But that's not what this post is about and it is disingenuous to argue it here. That's why it is a strawman. It is inconsequential 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Nah. I'm just not arguing the strawman you keep trying to force through. The question was never "list off Trump's crimes", the question was "please provide an evidenced argument on what mechanisms Trump will use to influence wide majority losses in all 50 states." 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Here, I'll help. "They overturned a huge portion of the VPA that protected voting from racial based gerrymandering." That's basically their only real voting victory. But you don't care about that or you'd be bringing that up, not J6. You just wanna cosplay at oppression. 200
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Make a single evidenced argument that isn't "January 6th" or a feeling you have. We all know what happened on j6. A lot of people went to prison for their involvement and trump didn't because the case was slow walked 200
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026and started saying "we're doomed". It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Super cool strawman, dude. I never said anyone was held accountable. I just said that there is no evidence that what you're claiming he is gonna do will succeed. Man, the cowardice of average Americans is fully on display these last two years. The way some of y'all just went belly up 200
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And, fuck, I dunno... maybe just listen to the educated black man who probably knows what he's talking about and is a reliable narrator as a member of a minority group. Shit. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A lot of y'all need to stop reading dystopian literature and trying to apply fantasy to reality. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026actually accomplishes is feeding into this shared delusion that people have that these people are somehow omnipotent despite all evidence to the contrary. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026he tries to do any of these you are saying he's going to do, a majority of states have basically just gone "nah, we aren't gonna do any of that", and like... early physical voting has started in places already and you know what weren't at any of those polls? federal agents. All your arguing 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I gotta back Jamelle on this one. He makes clear, strong and evidenced arguments and your retort amounts to going "nuh-uh" because you wanna cosplay in oppression that you probably aren't actually personally experiencing. Because, I'll point out, that he's lost basically every single lawsuit where 200
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Getting you worried about AI killing us all is almost certainly a calculated tactic to keep you from holding them and their bought and paid for politicians to task for the real pressing problems that they are causing. And it is working. 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026There's also someone working on how to do a Dyson sphere, and how to travel outside of our solar system, and how to drill a hole to the center of the earth. Does it mean we are even remotely near enough to these things that they are relevant concerns to be discussed right now? 110
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026See how you use the word "assume" there? If your argument requires the an assumption, especially one that is not currently relevant and one that we are technologically nowhere near achieving... then it is a straw man argument and not relevant. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I don't know how to explain to an adult that the Internet isn't some magical field. All that data has to physically exist somewhere. And those servers can be turned off. 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I genuinely get accused of being a bot if I don't agree with their doomsday delusions. You truly cannot win with them. And it is like... Almost always some cis white dude who hasn't actually ever experienced anything particularly oppressive in their life. Basement dwelling shut in nonsense. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026by dystopian media and because life continues to be way more mundane than they want it to be, they go to increasingly great lengths to convince themselves that their weird road warrior fan fic fantasy is true. And the most frustrating thing for me, is that when I try to talk to them online, 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026AI is, ostensibly, a yes man designed to give you its best approximation of that answer that you wanna hear and this idea that it is gonna escape onto the Internet and spread itself out through various networks is truly fantasy. I am legit worried that people's brains have been rotted 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I have genuinely yet to encounter a person who can explain to me with actual technological knowledge how an AI could break containment, go rogue, or otherwise become so unable to be turned off that it simply cannot be controlled in a way that is not essentially "trust me, bro. I'm very smart." 210
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Oh I see. Just skimmed your feed and you're one of those people who believe that strongly debunked claim presented by a banker with a history of mental illness who claimed to be a voting security expert. You're not a serious person. Go touch grass. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Ocean warming is a concern and also offshore doesn't let them do company towns and they really, really super badly wanna do company towns 040
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Another one? I'm genuinely concerned that social media has turned your brains into lukewarm mush. Please, for your own benefit, go touch grass 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Y'all gotta stop taking these dorks so fucking seriously every time they open their mouth. They are the weirdest, dumbest fucking people you've ever met. 200
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026wants to use. They are literally trying to sell AI to knitting circle grandmas right now. That is not the business move of a healthy and sustainable service. They are hemorrhaging money. Even corporations are quietly dialing back the use of AI because they were getting price gouged on tokens. 110
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026People ever think it can do. He's just some dork and everyone is gobbling up what he said as fact. The reality is, society has, en masse, rejected AI. Most places are saying a hard "fuck no" to data centers and they are desperately trying to invent reasons to buy a service that no one 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Nothing scary happened. The dude that started this most recent "we're all gonna die" discourse was some in over his head freshly graduated 20-something year old dork who only worked there for four months and lacked the critical thinking to understand that AI can't do what all the weirdest 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026And they never wanna engage in this discourse. They write their little articles, drop their fear bomb, and then just rake in the interaction. Because that, I suspect, is what it is actually about. Views. And scary stuff gets better views. 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026And what makes me so frothing angry is when our side starts parroting those ideas. We're supposed to be the smart ones, the critical ones. I know the techbroligarchs are stupid. That's well-documented. But like... I see well-educated people parrot this stuff. 110
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026with minimal effort. It cannot do the things they think it can do and believing them and running articles like this just gives them more power by virtue of instilling hopelessness. 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Just a phenomenal and astounding lack of critical thinking skills, poor understanding of what AI is and does, and just uncreatively brained weirdos. And then people take what they say as fact and run with it. Meanwhile, this is the same AI that you can trick into agreeing that the sky is green 210
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Y'all gotta stop taking these "we're all doomed" techbro dorks seriously whenever they crop up. The anthropic dude was a 20-something kid at his first job and had only worked there for 4 months. He's not a credible source. He's just some dork. 130
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 11/09/2026But I think you know that and that's why you disabled the replies and the quotes. Don't want people with functional brains calling your asses out on your dumb shit. Sometimes, I think people on the left are as stupid as the right. Myopic ass bullshit. 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 11/09/2026And we're in a stupid war, and, and, and the list goes on and fucking on. And I can't help but feel like these things probably wouldn't be happening under harris and it would be a lot easier and safer to protest them under harris. But here you are, pulling this shit like it is at all relevant. 100
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 11/09/2026To me, it says a lot that replies and post quotes are disabled for this. You people are absolutely fucking ridiculous. Here's what I know. Multiple people have been gunned down by federal agents in the streets and the sanctity of our elections are currently under attack, and our economy is fucked 101
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Personal shout out to @jamellebouie.net for consistently making rational, intelligent, and well-measured posts and videos about what is going on instead of the deeply unhelpful and irrational "NAZI GERMANY! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!" posts that other influencers have figured out get them all the clicks. 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I definitely agree with this. I think there is definitely too much purity politics on the left. But there is also too much, especially with more center left people, to forgive to a fault. There's gotta be a point where you recognize that someone has screwed up too many times 110
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026One of the like six pro-north Korea pro-communist china organizations because no one wanted to grow a pair and draw a line in the sand with them and now they are effectively dead movements. 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Nazi sympathizers, or the tianamen square deniers. This even extends beyond media and into organizations. The groups doing the work are entirely too quiet about it. And the groups that were being noisy and building coalitions let themselves get taken over by 120
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Virtuous that they just sit back and hope people get the idea. You know who isn't afraid to do that? The alt-right and alt-left extremist weirdos? So people have effectively ceded the social and news media landscapes to either these unlikeable fart-sniffing scholars, 120
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It doesn't help that normie leftists and Democrats seem to be absolutely terrified to get in front of a camera and tell people what they think and what they've accomplished. They're afraid to slide into some comments and start some shit. They are so crippled by the idea that being humble is 220
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The pillars of hope and change are being built offline, not for likes and comments. Grab a hammer. I really gotta wonder what some people are doing with their day that they have time to post on social media upteen millions times a day 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Also, not for nothing but social media isn't real life. Ragebait and angry comments is great for interaction but what is it really accomplishing? What are you doing in your community other than going online and ringing your hands in angry that someone else isn't doing something? 120
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 29/08/2026There are entirely too many people waiting for someone else to tell them what to do, when to show up, and where to go. Every single person going "when's the next one. Why is [insert organization here] not setting up another one" needs to stop and ask themselves why THEY aren't taking initiative 120
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 16/08/2026You might like rogue trader and the upcoming dark heresy game by owlcat then. It's not quite planescape torment but it's pretty close 010
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Massie would not win that seat if a special election happens. Trump's even more extreme than McConnell guy would. And y'all need to stop seeing Massie as some moderate Republican Messiah. He isn't. He votes with his party most of the time. 000
squigglebingus.bsky.social @squigglebingus.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Honestly, who gives a shit? I get the desire for transparency and whatever but y'all want evidence that he's dead so badly without actually considering what that means. As long as he is alive but out of commission, it means that he continues to hold his seat but continues to not be voting. 100
