Game designer and graphic artist. Trump was a phony and an idiot to me as a child in the 90's. Trump supporters aren't interested in politics; it's way over their heads. They lack what we learn in the arts and the humanities—perspective, or "wisdom"

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

Also, if the press had done their jobs covering the Nazi pedophile criminal organization masquerading as a political party accurately, we wouldn't be so surprised by his frank talk because we'd have been hearing this shit from more than just him.

Ossoff is hitting hard bc we are all furious and he knows it. The corporate press can elevate those loud, minority of voices praising what’s going on as much as they want, but most of us are angry and tired of being forced into living in pain.

The Trump administration has denied Illinois’ request for disaster relief — again. The state sought FEMA’s help after days of severe weather in and around the Chicago area in August. FEMA granted Indiana’s request for help with the same storm. buff.ly/P3ElxRb

I love that it's totally cool and legal to use social media to rile up an angry hateful mob and incite them to attack doctors and send in bomb threats to children's hospitals but texting Shrek dong to a politician gets you hauled into court

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

San Diego is not expendable. Our lives are not bargaining chips. The President’s words were reckless, dangerous, and a betrayal of the people he swore to protect. I love this city, and I will never stay quiet when someone treats our families, neighbors, and communities like they are disposable.
Tonight, the President of the United States stood on a stage and told a cheering crowd, “Let them take out San Diego.” He went on to call the destruction of our city “a very small price to pay.”
 
San Diego is home to 1.4 million people. We are workers, families, children, veterans, immigrants, sailors, Marines, and people who love this city and call it home. We are not expendable. Los Angeles is not expendable. No American city is.
 
For a President to speak so casually about an attack on the people he is sworn to protect is reckless, dangerous, and treasonous. At a time when American servicemembers and their families are already bearing the consequences of his war with Iran, San Diegans deserve a President focused on keeping them safe, not talking about sacrificing them.
 
Every elected leader in San Diego, regardless of party, should condemn these comments without qualification. There should be nothing partisan about standing up for our city and the people who live here.
 
Our lives are not bargaining chips.
 
Donald, keep our name out of your mouth.

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

In Trump’s first term, he escalated in Afghanistan, bombed Syria, escalated with Iran, and loosened rules of engagement to allow more civilian casualties. Out of office, he said the problem in Gaza was Israel held back too much. But for some reason, “anti-war” types didn’t think that mattered.

The Bostrom story has this weird dichotomy where “intelligence” operates over this incredibly rich and nuanced space such that the AI can predict and optimize over the full open universe, but “final goals” are specified in these blunt Midas-like terms like “maximize paperclips”.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?
