as someone who is pseudonymous i care about about my pseudonymous identity's reputation and credibility in ways that feel different than how I care about my personal wallet name reputation and credibility; it is, obviously, more constructed but not necessarily less valuable

letting Uncle Sam pay competitive wages (don't have to be equal, just in the same ballpark) for tech/engineering people is one of those things that would be unpopular short term but would fix so much shit long run

“Republicans represent groups who are assumed to hold legitimate power; Democrats represent groups who are not. Challenging these elements of the status quo runs the risk of violating journalistic norms about neutrality, while affirming the status quo does not.” ✅

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

Here's my actual true opinion. The only way to fix all of this nonsense is rent affordability and health care . If people can afford the rent and get healthcare, then they can start and go to work for normal businesses, and write and make art and music. And there can be third places, etc etc.

Cars still kill children. And adults. And pets. And cars are heavily regulated, registered, licensed, and insured. We limit their emissions. We set fuel efficiency standards. We charge them tolls, parking fees, registration fees, etc. So let's do all of that with AI.

I love how he portrays what happened with streets as an organic change, as opposed to the result of a concerted effort by car manufacturers to claim streets for cars and push the narrative that pedestrians ("jaywalkers"), rather than drivers, were responsible for collisions.

You can ignore the recommendations of any person that supports mandating real names online. Because that means they haven't done any of the basic 101 research into online safety or studied its history. They're talking confidently from a place of zero knowledge. You don't need to argue with them.

And, again, focusing completely on Trump is like thinking Ronald McDonald actually runs McDonald's. The apparatus behind MAGA is funded and directed by the wealth and oligarchical classes and they are relentlessly not just stealing but positioning things for the world they want to run.
