once you actually internalize that society is fake and we just made everything up and none of this is real other than the "realness" people have placed upon it, it's insane that anyone thought any of this would work in the first place

This is why Elon Musk bought Twitter—to seize control of communications infrastructure on behalf of the most authoritarian elements of the ruling class in order to establish an autocracy. We said so at the time. crimethinc.com/twittercanary There's a war on. The faster we act like it, the better.

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration. Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

hi it's apparently important to note that this is a decision on the appeal of a district court ruling on a preliminary injunction, not the 9th ruling on the underlying case. erin's article omits this crucial fact, as have the posts i've seen so far.

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

I used to really annoy people for yelling at them when they would say "we just have to outlive them." It doesn't work like that. The ones you're hoping to outlast will poison young people that you aren't paying attention to. You can't ignore and outlast you have to kill bad ideas at the root

Great questions! 1. You can call most reps after hours and leave messages on their machines, which is fine! But some (like Schumer, grr) turn off their machines after hours. 2. For local reps, any time is pretty good. For US reps and senators, I have the best luck getting a human at 9 am.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people? disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

Fun fact: when Andrew Johnson illegally fired Edwin Stanton, he not only barricaded himself in the War Department building, literally refusing to surrender the physical office, he also went and got a warrant for the guy Johnson had purported to replace him with and had him arrested.
