By cheering people getting shot for talking, you are asking to get shot for talking.

Trademarking my brilliant new business idea, Third Place Coffee.

Posh liberals will fall over themselves to pay $3 more vs. Starbucks to subsidize the people who don't want (or can't buy) coffee to have a Third Place!!

"A Trans Pattern With Mass Shootings" I generally avoid extensive discussions about trans issues because it’s basically poison all across the spectrum (The Right outright rejects all things trans, The Left essentializes while saying they ...

"It's the trans" is a stupid response to mass shootings

This one small trick drives people who obsessively hate AI crazy!

You can make an em dash—which vastly improves readability for normal, not-insane people—by holding Alt and typing 0151 on the number pad on Windows and holding Option and Shift and pressing Hyphen on Mac!

While I see "left" as "the same thing but ideologically believe they are against the things that they ultimately materially support" I think this is still interesting on account left wing AI hate posits it as "right wing." reddit.com/r/DefendingA...

YouTube video by mothcub Peter Coffin gave us the greatest art of all time

We're finalizing songs for That Darn Racket and I am really excited to put the album out. Someone sent me this video from
@mothcub.bsky.social last weekend and I challenge you to review my album when it's out July 20.

Includes a pro produced Gimme more 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFae...

It's just transvestigations, one of the things I warned about as I repeatedly reframed this issue as an excuse for Platonic elitism rather than a concern about authenticity 🤷

Ethics is the practice of finding justifications to do things that contradict your worldview (NOT the practice of having reasons to do only things that conform to your worldview). It is a useless practice and a total waste of time.

Again, it only silences or suppresses anything at all because it has a material implication in the structure. If you are rewarded for labor, you are not punished for not owning the version of it that does well.

Plagiarism is simply the "ethical" expression (read: ideology) of the enforcement of bourgeois property dynamics. Without bourgeois property dynamics, plagiarism doesn't present a meaningful contradiction and therefore arguably doesn't exist.

Avila Gets It: The Real Fight Isn’t About AI—It’s About Control For years now, I’ve been talking about the backlash to generative AI—how the backlash isn’t really about the tech itself, but about deeper tensions around authorship, labor, and (most importantly) pro...

Avila Gets It: The Real Fight Isn’t About AI—It’s About Control

I really enjoyed Alex Avila's new video and I am extremely happy he made it.

My opinion and his overlap significantly: petercoffin.substack.com/p/plato-is-s...

The Right is reactionary—and so is The Left. The idea you could call the rejection of technology that creates abundance (a necessary condition for socialism) anything but the same kind of pining for simpler times they associate with fascism (whatever they think it is) is absurd.

thanks!

YouTube video by Sir Swag We talked to a YouTube Whistleblower

I've tried to articulate this and if you do YouTube you absolutely should watch it right now: youtube.com/watch?v=pvlR...

(I told you that causing a ruckus on Twitter works, it's like the only thing you can do without knowing someone, seriously watch this)

It's not a privilege to be somewhat less disadvantaged—though it's important to acknowledge.

It's a privilege to rule over everyone else, and a small percentage of people from all races is in the ruling class.

I'd wager unless she looks at this she probably isn't going to talk about that more than in passing

If Britbongers are going to talk about ~Indians being colonized~, maybe they could/should talk about the ones from India more? Or does that Royal Crown money direct these types a bit? 👀

The bad guys are always the ones telling you that you're morally and intellectually superior if you agree with them.

(note: the bad guys can be on either side of an issue; their argument is the worst one and you should reject them and their tactics regardless of your position)

Hint: it's not because it's AI. It's property.

🚨🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE 🚨🚨

I get it, it's not really my perspective (gratitude is a large aspect of my life/program) but we don't have to share the same perspective. There's a lot of hell being wrought upon people that don't deserve it, though.

“Corey Booker filibustered for 20 hours without taking a shit!”

Ok, and what did it accomplish?

Nothing.

Performative.
