I was pretty unaware of politics when I voted for Obama in 2012. Then I got more and more aware. Sometimes I wish I was still that unaware for my sanity. But no, I must soldier on for the future.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

Me: idk, I feel like the Samuel L. Jackson bits were maybe too heavyhanded, we don’t need the subtext spelled out for us, the audience is smarter than that Me after reading several insane takes about the halftime show: I think maybe the Samuel L. Jackson bits were not heavyhanded enough

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

I don’t know why Marvel keeps trying to make a Fantastic Four movie, when the perfect one already exists.

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

The electoral college is DEI. We should probably abolish that.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

If you're ok with Medicaid and SNAP being frozen so that the elderly can't get medicine and the poor can't feed their kids, fuck you. You're an irredeemable piece of shit and I hope your whole world falls apart around you.

Yeah, I don’t get the whole elected Democrats not rising to fight fascism, either. In their very minimal defense (they still largely fucking suck), they yelled about this before the election and America still elected that fucking guy. Like, I get it, but it’s their damn job. Ugh

Unmitigated disaster

I truly believe in the promise of America, a land where all people have the opportunity to live up to their full potential, whoever they are and however they define it. It makes my blood boil to watch all these mediocre men in the Trump administration tear down that promise out of spite.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I’m reading Stephen King’s 11/22/63 right now and I need a sequel focusing on making sure an assassination happens for…a different President

My amateur advice for how Democrats should treat Trump II: Vigorously oppose and obstruct every single thing he tries to do. I am 100% certain that history (and voters) will reward that decision. This is not the time for the usual feckless triangulation. (It's never been time, really.)

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Trump pardoning 1,500 January 6th rioters including VIOLENT ones is a dark indication of what's to come. DEMOCRATS STOP BEING BITCHES AND FIGHT. No democrat should vote for a SINGLE Trump cabinet pick. There are no rules anymore, it's time to adjust to that reality.
