I'd be happy with Facebook eliminating content moderation if it *also* eliminated its algorithmic content delivery. If it stopped selecting and editing content in the manner of a publication, then it would not have to follow journalistic guidelines. But FB is no less a publication than the NYT.

train sketch of an elf

painting of an elf wearing a fancy golden crown. there are waves on a stormy sea in the background. I think at some point I meant for this to be feanor the angry elf of tolkien lore but I can't remember his canonical hair colour & could not be bothered to look it up though I know some ppl care very deeply about that sort of thing

Very funny to see the American right begin to realise the ruling class they just voted into power don't actually have their hearts in this populism thing

I'm of the opinion that no creative can ever truly own or control their work. They can try, but it's always a futile effort. Once a work is out there, it's out of my hands and reflects only the observer. I take no responsibility for it, or whatever influence it may have.

I really wish Arcanum was less of a pain to play because it would probably be my all time favourite crpg The concept of a Tolkien esque fantasy setting experiencing an industrial revolution is really fascinating to me and the end dilemma is great

This is, I think, the single best explanation of what's happening that I've read, to the degree that it not only explicates Trump's win but the society that made it happen www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why were Democrats unable to counter the idea that Trump was an economic savant? And why did most Americans vote for someone they believe will harm the country but help their own pocketbooks? The answer is the ongoing decimation of working-class institutions and civil society, started by neoliberalism, accelerated by the rise of the internet as a medium of interaction and put into overdrive during the isolation of Covid. The vehicles for building solidarity with others and for caring about strangers have been decimated. In crass terms, people have become more selfish.

Union membership, for example, still makes voters significantly more Democratic than would otherwise be expected based on demographics alone. Even this year, Harris won union members easily while losing the popular vote overall. Unions and civil society organizations also provide a baseline of political education: members know their interests and which policies will help or harm them. Without this, Americans’ views are shaped by the algorithm.

Perhaps most emblematic of this is at the heart of Trump’s campaign: his embrace of extremely online tech billionaires, crypto currency and online influencers. If the archetype of Trump’s win in 2016 was the left-behind post-industrial Rust belt manufacturing worker – or, perhaps more accurately, the car dealership or McDonald’s franchise owner in a left-behind post-industrial Rust belt town – this year it is the crypto scammer, the dropshipper, the app-based day trader, the online engagement farmer.

That embrace was Trump’s message, and at the core of his gains, especially with young men. Without civil society and without strong unions, people believe the only path to success is getting one over on someone else. And who is better at that than Trump?

While the core of the resurgent-left generation of Sanders was downwardly mobile college-educated professionals, selling their labor for wages without the prospect of buying a house or retiring on a pension, the second wave of newly aging-in Trump voters entered adulthood without even those prospects, hoping only to grind out a living through scams. But this is fundamentally an anti-social and anti-humanist mode of economic activity that contributes nothing to society and offers nothing but alienation to its victims. The result is people willing to vote for someone they know will cause immense harm to others, hoping it will help them personally.

While the new right has made great hay of returning to a communitarian model of politics, economically populist, socially conservative, and focused on family and society, the truth is that the Trumpist movement is the opposite. It is hostile to the very concept of society and community. To combat this, we need an unabashedly pro-society left.

I have a feeling the only lesson the Democrats will take from this is that they should never attempt to have a woman president again

Idk where I was going with this but I just wanted to draw blood and sparkles #OC #art #illustration #イラスト

My original character Erebus, standing bare-footed on a dark ground filled with glowing red blood, while holding a large sword and looking down with a smile. She has white hair tied in a single braid over her left shoulder, with black, blonde and cyan highlights. She has two horns and a translucent veil over head. She has brown skin, with amber eyes. She’s wearing a black armour/dress. Behind her is a dark sky, rock formations that look like the ribs of a dragon and a blood red moon.
