It may take a generationβ€”or twoβ€”and a lot of struggle. But I have faith that we will eventually get a left that understands how to make AI serve egalitarian ends.

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved

A writer waits a lifetime for a moment like this.

Somehow I ended up on the part of Bluesky where people believe that an ex cia operative did a ghost audit of the 2024 election alongside the NSA and it proves Kamala Harris actually won by a landslide.

Resisters(TM) are being radicalized into an actual BlueAnon.

Seriously. If someone never struggles with whether they’re doing the right thing, they’re either not thinking, or they’re getting paid to not say it out loud.

Either way, don’t trust them.

Anyone displaying an unshakable faith in their own moral authority is either a dangerous idiot or a conman.

And this includes MANY closeted queer kids. Everything is a struggle at that age! Someone handing you easy answers that amount to β€œyou specifically are better than others” is gonna get a lot of traction!

In all seriousness: Joshua’s post is right. A bunch of folks in that cohort fell into right wing politics, courtesy of the Bush era neocon surge and the early Drudge Report. I watched it happen to a handful of my classmates. β€œI’m gifted so I’m smarter than YOU” is a very real temptation!

Gandalf arriving at the Shire, except Ayn Rand’s head is superimposed over Gandalf’s. She asks β€œand what about poorly written pseudointellectual propaganda for asocial teenage boys?”

To which Frodo tells β€œAyn Randalf!”

Frankly it’s insensitive to NOT post about how much you love your spouse. Be a Spouse Simp on main.
