Ah. Radcliffe seems like a good guy. I've never heard of the rest, other than the parts I'm no longer willing to promote, obv.

He tries to play off ableism, sexism, and racism as sort of accidental gaffes and complex nuance, but yeah, I think he's signaling to certain groups that he thinks he can represent, while tricking leftists into tagging along for the ride.
I don't think he's skilled enough to pull it all off either.

I feel like everything he says is calculated to appeal to a certain crowd, but maybe he's just a deluded tech bro. Or maybe he started out calculating and has fallen down a rabbit hole, as seems to be happening a lot lately.
Whatever the case, though, you're right that he's never been a leftist.

Yeah, he absolutely looks up to those people's ideas, but just like them he's arrogant enough to think he won't end up like "those other guys".
He'll see what happens.

The post is from yesterday, so don't expect anything breaking. It's just a grounded, practical perspective on yesterday's national guard news.
We need to keep our wits about us, to keep fighting back intelligently.

I'm glad I'm not alone in these feelings, but I hope everyone's able to keep producing the art that gives voice to this era.

Oh Yang. He's a tactical thinker playing a long game, which is morally interesting until you start befriending Nazis.
But you raise a good point. I'm all for UBI, but it's a capitalist concept. It's a crutch to keep capitalism functional a bit longer. Yang and I like it for different reasons, imo.

I agree, but I'm struggling desperately to live it. I think others should be creating, but I can't take my own creativity seriously right now.
I'm working on it, but I'm struggling.

So you're saying the Tonys hate trans people. Duly noted.

There's a lot of wisdom in this.

People do need to put in effort to succeed, and sometimes it's very hard.
But if people aren't putting in that effort, there's always a reason. Maybe they need support they aren't getting, or direction, or healing, or a break first.
Laziness isn't real. People have reasons when they flounder.

Could be useful.
When I'm in bsky, my emoji search feature doesn't work anyway though.

Thanks for speaking up for trans folk. I hope the rest of your weekend goes better.
Bigotry is always surreal. Just why?

I'm glad people are covering this.

I was mostly being silly. I hear you.
I'm basically allergic to FB and Xitter, myself. My mental health tanks dangerously if I spend time on them. The algorithms are basically Rhi-repellant, for whatever reason. I do a lot better here, following mostly just my friends and a few news outlets.

I've never tasted a real skull. I don't usually taste the plastic ones either.

Harvard will be significantly less embarrassed about this era than other schools will be in 20 years.

Amen. In fact, any viewpoint that doesn't support all (real) victims of injustice, in proportion to the harm they suffer, is a viewpoint that would cause problems if left unchecked. We must save the world intersectionally, or we will only trade old injustice for new.

I love that!
I also would feel pretty good about being a tree.
My ideal is to be left in the woods to be eaten by scavengers, but I understand that isn't sanitary with current population levels, so becoming a tree will do as a fallback.

His ego's pretty easy to bruise. I think we'll get under his skin.

It used to bother me more until I learned how much charity work the 501st legion does.
Then I realized, I don't have to get it. People process reality in their own way. If good people want to pretend to be bad, for all I know maybe that's how they stay good.

Thank you for the updates, even if they're worrisome. I hope there's a positive shift soon.
