Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 5hIt doesn’t help that Chow’s “Big Idea” for this campaign is school lunches, something that the city doesn’t really have a responsibility for. IMO they tried to photocopy a photocopy of Mamdani 030
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Basically normal compared to Trump, idk how that’s controversial, like at all. 100
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nixon, who famously lost the congress for a generation with his criminality, and Reagan who, compared to Trump and JB, was basically normal? 100
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Arrest, no, but you can propoganda your way out of it, that’s what we used to do. 100
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Will it happen you think if he wins a minority? That’s my question, haven’t seen much speculation there. 110
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Propoganda is the expressly edgy formulation, I really talking about the overall media/infosphere. 010
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I mean that part was the joke, but I don’t see how a system where all anti-system propoganda is tolerated and well patronized but pro-system messages are taboo is stable with any democratic regime structure. 120
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It’s somewhat of a joke but to be earnest: because universal sufferage is as radical and liberal of an idea as we’ve ever had and we shouldn’t give up on it when there are still plausible theories why this is happening (infosphere contamination) 000
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you refuse to engage with the states power against the manifold forces who gain from saying “The system is rigged” you will have continual instability. 0101
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I am pleading, absolutely begging, one of these regimes to make it a priority to do pro-system propaganda. It’s the one thing everyone refuses to try 2384
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah dude everyone who is following this election knows that. 100
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Na, I think it’s more “the median voter is an amazing system for throwing-out bad governments, but only if they have a good epistemic environment and are fed a constant stream of pro-system propoganda” 000
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026George obviously knows and clearly means “Since Brazil because a functioning democracy” 150
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Idk man, it seems like the voters (who are dumb don’t get me wrong) simply don’t really like left wing governments. I mean if you read anything into this at all aside from “Bad year for incumbents globally” 000
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Brazil is also a paradigm case of why “Just be more left wing” is not a recipe for beating the fascists. 071
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You should look into runpod which is probably better for this sort of tinkering 110
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You can run some of the models on more intense quantizations with an 8 gb gfx card but it’s a compromise set-up 110
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You can just run them with OpenwebUI and Openrouter. 120
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Currently open models are more expensive than the $20/mth subscription which are a loss leader. I agree with you in the long term 120
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 03/10/2026“It only took 100 days” lol they just exported a free DAZ model and paid a random casting shop 010
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We also have a lot of literature on pharmacology and toxicology. There is also a lot of AI literature out there that a certain class of “opponents” does not engage with 010
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 03/10/2026In some ways your analogy actually is quite apt because “Anti-drug” activists often believe extremely not true things about drugs. Same as these AI opponents 110
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is the sort of skin you get by trying to use random peptides to cure your Herpes. 050
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The fact that Kennedy is helping to hold it up is so funny to me. This guy is a bloodhound for finding opportunities to yuck it up as the buffoon. 030
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You say this, but Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is one of the most consequential stories of all time. Checkmate 121
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Much like Phonics, they’re coming back into fashion after removing them seriously impacted student performances 000
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yea, multiplication tables are so fundamental to even thinking about math that I think they are in a different category. I mean, you can outsource a lot of computation, but can you understand math without knowing all the sums from 1-10? 110
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 28/09/2026She can’t win a presidential primary. It’s just that simple. She’s very young still, no need to hurry 010
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Back in my day the reason we made Eng students take humanities courses was to prove that they weren’t functionally illiterate. Where did this civic virtue stuff come from lol 010
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This Dead Internet, degredation of the infospace stuff remains the real reason why we should be 'freaking out' 030
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Tired: Peloponnesian War as a metaphor for tired power vs rising power. Wired: Peloponnesian War as a metaphor for open society vs closed society. (Factually questionable but spiritually based) 030
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Didn’t he already hang dong in the show he did with Emma Stone? 330
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Not to be that guy, but this seems like a waaaaay more prosocial monetization scheme than “get the kids to gamble” 001
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 21/09/2026How can you solve linear equations if you can’t look at 2 numbers and understand their common factors? 1470
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 21/09/2026How are you gonna read Shakespeare when you have no schema for sounding-out words? 1530
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 21/09/2026There is actually a massive literature going back like 100 years about how memorization and factual knowledge are basically essential to be able to cognitively approach more advanced topics. 2872
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I mean, this is sorta what a lot of people in educations implicitly believe, and I say that without malice. 3791
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This guys only strategy at this point is taking the 30 side on every 70/30 issue and hoping to hit a jackpot if public opinion shifts lol 0140
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Basically every single pedagogical debate is like this: “Let’s move away from phonics, multiplication tables and testing because they leave kids behind” “Aren’t those the only things that work” “Yes” “And won’t it be less equitable in the end because rich parents can pay for tutors” “Also yes” 951661
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I think Canadian planning basically throws in the towel on conventional defence against the us. All of this change assumes an inwardly focused US that is broadly isolationist, mercurial, and interested in economic hardball. 141
Reposted by WinterinkSharon 🪳🌹 @sharonk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Fundamentally the best comparison for Pierre is probably someone like Nikki Haley (especially given that like, being neoconservative on Venezuela was quite literally in the 2025 CPC platform, lmao) 2342
Winterink @winterink.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I mean, I’d say he is more Harper++ in terms of ideology. But bang on about the charisma. Harper is pretty chill, but was mega arrogant as PM 030
