Every time I go to my local Costco, which is situated near a very affluent mostly white suburb and a very diverse multicultural suburb, I come home and tell my wife that I'll bet many a Fox News "immigrants are replacing us" rant has been started after returning home.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

because management level dudes lean GOP. Even if a majority of civil service are dems that leaves a lot of MAGA in places to comply.

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

Using Twitter regularly is highly unethical, and a significant personal failing for people that do.

It's 15 years of smart phones, social media and Trump. Trump is the living embodiment of a a meme character and too many voters are deeply unserious and recklessly stupid.

As much as I think Mark Cuban is one of the good capitalists, he's still a capitalist. Current business leaders are all hostile to labor and shouldn't be asked about anything other than maybe market efficiency.

This is why they fight against diversity so much. Letting poor kids and people of color follow the same path as them proves they aren't special, just advantaged.

Americans are hard coded to see the world through the capitalists eyes instead of the consumer. Scarcity is good for the capitalist, over-production bad.

What he is really thinking in this pic is if only I could grow a clone every 20 years and transport my consciousness into it. The real singularity is going to be a combination of all the dystopias we have seen or read because none of the tech-bros have evolved beyond their singular egos.

Actually unless you are independently wealthy all parents of disabled kids benefit. The money helps all districts and all parents and all kids. It's not just about basic needs its about inclusion and quality of life.

I believe it's more that the political media want to return to the glory days of being able to say what you want and no one could do anything about it. Trump allows them to be rude, bigoted, and misogynistic and they like that. They want the old boys back and the gals that put up with that behavior.

It's still around because IBM kept porting its mainframe OSes to to faster and cheaper hardware. Every 5 years you buy a cheaper, faster MF and since the old COBOL datasets are tiny the storage space is cheaper. Who wants to be the guy to risk his career on a migration form a core application?

Maybe we will get lucky. After Trump shuts everything down, he can retire to Mar-a-largo.

The GOP has learned from decades of obstruction doing nothing is just as powerful as doing something. What we never planned for was that the media, in saying nothing, would be so complicit.

Have we reached the point in history yet where understanding these things and not arranging our economy around them for the betterment of humankind is considered evil? This is of course a rhetorical question. The truth of AI, as is said with the writers of history, will be the victors.

This affects most of the men I've worked with in tech over the last 25 years. A lot of this is simply no experience doing anything other than being a keyboard jockey. We should also be taught civics in middle and high school that goes over federal, state, and local government.

This is pet peeve of mine. Polls should also include a question of whether it affects you.

The primary difference between the DNC and the RNC is that the DNC wants to be "fair" and the RNC wants to win.
