Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Wouldn’t it be cool if we just taxed wealth enough that we didn’t have billionaires and instead we all had nice things like great schools, beautiful parks, excellent public transit, clean air, etc?

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia creates context and the structure of LLMs destroys context Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

I can't remember who I saw say it this way, but we shouldn't mince words: this is ethnic cleansing by deportation. It's targeting non-white people to remove from the country by any means necessary.

If Universal Basic Income were a drug, this evidence would force them to halt the study and put it into production immediately. Further studies are unethical at this point, the benefits are absolute.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Protests being cringe is fine. South Korea just threw out their right wing president and their protests are full of families, glow sticks, goofy flags, free iced coffee, and K-pop. It's the numbers that matter.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

The gain (unexpressed because how could you make this argument coherently) is that it makes libs mad. We are making it more expensive to buy stuff and the benefit you will get out of it is libs being mad it’s expensive to buy stuff.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion." It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.
