if you're supporting an obviously illogical and untenable position, why would you ever submit yourself to the humiliation of trying to defend that position to Isaac Chotiner? you're going to be publicly pantsed. the man is going to pants you in public. you have to know this. why?

Hey now … don’t yuck other people’s yum here. I mean -I- don’t want to be pantsed on a national stage … but that’s not to say that everybody has to be like me.

Maybe all legislators though. Yeah, maybe legislators shouldn’t just show their whole butt like this.

This is what I was talking about in the ‘impeach’ post that I regret letting trolls bully me into deleting.

Every democratic incumbent should face fire-breathing wild-eyed leftists in their primary. I want more passion! More energy!

I promise to hold my nose and vote ‘D’ down the line in November.

Without any smidge of a hint of a suggestion of condoning violence (seriously and for real) it’s enough to make me understand the mindset of the old-time bomb-throwing anarchists.

None of the things that make human life worthwhile benefit from "efficiency." Making or enjoying art, spending time with loved ones, exploring, learning, ...

It's all the stuff you can't pay somebody else to do for you.

Anyway, "AI" is a marketing term and there's a -lot- of misinformation being thrown around.

No corporation is going to build a post-work utopia for us, especially not one run by Elon Musk.

The reason that (most of) the slave trade ended is because we outlawed it, not because corporations grew consciences.

There was -exactly- the same perverse "well sure it sucks, but if we don't somebody else will and they'll outcompete us," incentive there that we are seeing today with AI.

That's, at root, why I come down on the side of social and government services rather than privatizing everything and letting the market work it out.

Sure, government is imperfect and occasionally inefficient - but at least it puts nonzero value on the quality of human life.

The problem is that the next steps we need to take as a civilization are not going to be -profitable-. Corporations have no concept of satiety ... no concept of "enough."

Corporations are not going to build an age of abundance, because corporate leaders are bound by law to maximal extraction.

Friends, I risked the 'ole nugget and logged into my top secret alt (@dwan.org) to see what those accounts are saying.

It has reaffirmed my longstanding policy of blocking -immediately- on bad behavior.

They're like that guy yelling out the window of his pickup truck - not worth your attention.

Oh yeah, that's a bot. Block early, block often.

A screengrab showing several users blocking me.

I use @listifications.app to track when people block or add me to lists. Here's a screengrab of the flock of seagulls who each flew in, took a rude poop, and then blocked me.

Jason also added me to his "Negative unreasonable impractical vote suppressing posters" list, among others.

Le sigh.

Anyway, I can confirm that - even having been on the internet a long time, even when I know it’s bots … getting yelled at like that feels bad. Hell-lo adrenaline.

Be kind, folks - and consider that if your whole argument is “shut up, dummy,” that maybe your argument really isn’t that strong.

I was nicer about it this time last year … but you know … then Trump put troops in the streets and started kidnapping and killing heads of state and stuff and I -really- think that waiting and hoping for the best in November is the real defeatist attitude.

All purity tests except purity tests about purity tests being prohibited are prohibited.

I’ve been pretty consistently mouthy about pushing politicians to get out and -do- something other than beg for money and wait for 2027 … and this is the first time I’ve gotten the internet railroad treatment for it.

Feels bottish to me, but what do I know?

bsky.app/profile/some...

A screen grab of a Bluesky user being rude and insulting.

I deleted a post about impeachment because a bunch of people … or maybe bots, who can tell? … picked it up and started passing it around, being insulting and weird - supposedly in the name of ’Democrats forever‘ but really in the spirit of telling me to shut up.

Block early, block often, folks.

What’s the play then? Wait and hope for the best?

So your plan is to wait and let big papa Trump finish up what he’s working on for another 9 months before doing anything?

We need a better plan.

Impeach impeach impeach.

Anyway, I’m gonna block you now, @zorrolittotheelder.bsky.social, because you were rude and condescending on first contact … I just wanted to say that your pessimistic doomerism isn’t helpful.

Congress can absolutely vote on impeachment, right now - and the Senate could convict and remove him. All it would take is a handful of Republicans deciding that their country is more important than their party - or merely withdrawing support for their corrupt sex criminal.

I just use an URL:

It’s just like the private-jet class talking about how kids don’t need college anymore.

But not -their- kids … see … that’s different. Their kids will sure-as-shit go to college:

If they were serious, they would be pitching free education. Instead, it’s uneducated serfdom.

If the tech overlord class was serious about using AI to usher in a post-scarcity era of abundance, they would be taking this opportunity to pitch three day workweeks and universal basic income.

Instead, it’s mass layoffs while they bloviate about ‘superintelligence.’

I don’t buy it.

For my part:

* Missing four front teeth from a bike accident in July (including insurance drama)
* Pissed off at two employers for wasting a combined 5 years of my career
* Irked at tenants for letting the pipes burst and ruining my rental property

And yet I still live-blog city council meetings.

It turns out that congress can impeach most of the cabinet too.

So yeah, go nuts.

Raid polymarket’s offices, seize their files, find out who these traitors are, and put them in prison.

They’re endangering the troops with this shit.

Impeach for leaking tips about everything from regulatory decisions to military actions so his friends can cash in.

Impeach for being a foresworn, lying oathbreaker whose any utterance is worth less than the labored breathing of a dog vigorously cleaning its own butt at a wedding.

Impeach.

Impeach for bad judgement and poor moral character with Epstein. We impeached Clinton for much, much less.

Impeach for tax fraud on the crypto income. Put him on the stand. Ask him.

Impeach for giving state secrets to Musk and others.

Impeach impeach impeach.
