Trying to change the bulb in a ceiling fixture at the MiL's and it turns out the bulb is fine, the problem is that the socket is not firmly affixed to anything. it's just hanging free in there. There's a ceramic bezel to hold it, but they threaded it around the fucking bulb instead of the socket.

The real issue is that the upper echelons (and especially the VC side) of the American tech industry has always been a drawstring sack full of morally reprehensible lunatics. Chicken before egg.

It is a little disconcerting that so many people who know a lot about LLMs on a technical level appear to go a little insane. It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad.

Basically: assimilation is not something immigrants do or don’t do; it’s something US citizens do or don’t do with respect to them. It’s an acknowledgment we can always withhold. It’s power over immigrants that lasts forever.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

You can sense the undertone throughout of “haha those fucking rubes got what they deserved” but the more interesting (and unexplored) idea hiding throughout is just how bad the information ecosystem is — almost all the people interviewed are drawing on the idea of criminal illegals!

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

This will unironically boost transphobia on the far left because, once they can no longer use the threat of transphobia to wrestle away trans people from the Democrats, trans people will officially become useless to them. You'll start seeing the DSA discuss trans voters like they do black voters.
