Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.

People who are circulating videos of anti-Hamas protests, like some sort of gotcha: were you not listening when we told you that Palestinian approval of Hamas was at a low prior to Oct 7? Palestinians have as diverse of a political life as anyone else - now stop bombing them so they can live!

I’m a constituent begging you to vote no. Do not cave, show some fucking spine!

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.

i will never let men off the hook for making misogynist art because david lynch, an old cornpone white guy from montana, was able to make one of the only television shows that took violence against women seriously and, in fact, framed child sexual abuse as a legitimately apocalpytic evil

Los Angeles Times + @Latimes Follow Rents likely to balloon in wake of L.A. wildfires, experts say

Now this, this is looting. Ain’t nobody gonna be arrested for it either.

The cycle with everything now is sorrow then rage then ambivalence, and that's just the way the crooks like it, because they have empty homilies for the sorrow, cops for the rage, and the ambivalence is a piece of cake, but there's this new stage now too that is "what if this could be a parlay?"

So we beat on, boys against the milkshake, borne back ceaselessly into the yard

It takes until the *tenth paragraph* in this piece to introduce the phrase “thousands of children may die”
