The chat gpt psychosis thing isn’t overblown per se I think it’s more that people prone to psychosis are always going to have a harder time with many types of new substances, technologies etc and that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be regulated it just means it’s not shocking

there's a lot of issues with dem politics but I think one of the broader ones is also a liberal-culture one - the idea you can have it both ways. "I can live in a suburban like street, drive and park my car, while also going to the farmers market and caring about climate change" is a classic version

Legit one of the most affirming arguments for trans rights I’ve read was on the Bulwark. It made the case that people are complicated and messy, life is hard and confusing, and that there’s no need for perfect understanding or for everyone to be a perfect victim at all times to care for each other.

Personally I think it’s a losing game to try to dictate what people bring or do to protests from an internet platform where you are reaching none of the people doing the thing you think they shouldnt

I am regularly amazed by how Trump acts like a spectator to his own administration. You brought in the troops, mate. That's why things are looking really bad. You did that. You could undo it, or - more foolishly - do it more. You're the president, chief.

I have oft suspected that a lot of politicians are actually pretty sane and not mealy-mouthed once they themselves are actually targeted as human beings and not in a kayfabe way

Honestly I’ve met my share of veterans in my line of work and now that I think about it I’m sure many were generic republicans but none of them have been rabid about it- the other veterans I’ve met were either anti-war or said maga stuff was basically boomers and dumb young grunts

When people say AI has bias - fine - everything and everyone does but they say it like it’s not adjustable - it totally is. Also AI just reflects what data is out there. You know what most written data is about and by? Whoever is in hegemony

It’s probably a moral failing but I am so tired of hearing how oppressed everyone feels or how concerned they are about someone else’s oppression because they looked at a thing on the computer phone - maybe this is a sign I need to quit bluesky too like I recently did Instagram

people are like don't treat politics as horse race what that means is don't 100% of the time treat every drip drip like its some salvo in a grand narrative. You are allowed when shit's funny or seems funny to laugh at it and enjoy it. Maybe it cashes out into nada, that's fine, but for a bit? go off
