I genuinely don’t know how else to explain Americans seeing the federal government invade California and turn around to say “Gosh I hope those protesters stop being violent” other than a completely and totally brainwashed society

Hey, my book sales have dried up almost completely now right now and I'm too sick to write faster, so I've started a patreon to help me cover expenses toward an upcoming medical treatment for my migraine treatment. Shares much appreciated!

Charitably, the thing these AI guys say reminds me of old atomic-era newsreels that are like “experts predict over one million people will be living on the moon by the 1970s”

Much as there's no central committee of who's allowed on the literal actual public streets of a pride parade and there is thus no actual point to an annual "who gets to be at pride?" debate, there is also no central committee of deciding what flags people wave that you might persuade to be tactical.

With every book I’ve written, I’m TERRIFIED that I’ve run out of ideas. And then I come up with something so damn cute that I’m shocked at myself.

iirc the media made a ton of fuss because there was too much movement discipline and coordination and surely a shadowy cabal must have been pulling the strings.

Imagine asking workers for proof of citizenship and then expecting them to serve you food that isn’t full of spit.

as a trans person, I fucking hate that while Trümp is sending marines into my state to suppress dissent over his literal black-bagging ppl without due process, we still have to contend with cis ppl's handwringing over sports & the NYTimes umpteenth "just asking questions about trans youth" bullshit

it really speaks to how trump does not see himself as a steward of the white house or the presidency but as its owner. he will do with it as he pleases.

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

When Viggo Mortensen kicked that Orc helmet and screamed out in anguish at the deaths of Merry and Pippin, ICE didn't exist yet. Literally no ICE agents knew he actually broke his toe, because there was no such thing as ICE. We can go back, not to save his toe, but to that life

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable
