even if i was going to let an AI chatbot thing have access to my emails and ability to do my banking etc, which i'm not, the Meta one is the last fucking one i'd trust, Meta has had every scrap of information about me for like 20 years and it still shows me ads for exercise equipment

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

I think it's becoming even more frequent as Trump's own body continues to deteriorate and thus almost every man he meets seems vigorous and strikingly handsome by comparison. He was saying stuff like this about a couple of very average looking 60something men at a rally the other day.

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

Nobody likes that the internet has been overrun with fake shit, and it is materially, negatively impacting our relationships with our neighbors and our trust in literally everything. Republicans benefit from this environment, and therefore attempted to criminalize the study of information ops.

It does appear the "data center eliminated Nazi and otherwise fuckface bots" narrative is basically wishcasting, it does show you how popular getting rid of this shit would broadly be, and that maybe a smart person should run on it.

What really gets to me is how democrats are acting like once Trump is gone everything will be OK again and… no. It won’t. This administration isn’t a fluke, it’s everything the Republican Party has wanted to do for the last thirty years. The next Republican president might be *worse*.

People desperately want to believe that there is a magic solution to fix the cesspit that a lot of the internet has become. I think people assume a lot of horrible people online are bots when in fact they are just horrible people motivated to make terrible things happen, because that is unpalatable.
