and it hasn't exactly aged well

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

a cohort of children who will be living in an entirely different reality from everyone else

I wish I had thought of the idea of having kids Google stuff for two hours and charging 40,000 dollars. Their parents would be like “so they know more about different Five Nights at Freddy’s characters but not what World War 1 is” and I’d be like “yes thats the knowledge they’ll need for the future”

All You Need is Death is on Tubi.
A great atmospheric folk horror movie. Highly recommend

okay

"but there are downsi-"
*bashes button over and over again to make it happen faster*

Risking death so you don't pay taxes is certainly something.

School shooter culture on a nation scale

Every day I see multiple messages to “boycott this company because they’re Nazis“ and at some point it will be worth reckoning with the fact that the entirety of the capitalist class are Nazis

BREAKING: Our client Mahmoud Khalil is appealing an immigration judge’s ruling that says the Trump administration can re-detain and deport him.

This judge’s order was baseless and retaliatory, and must be reversed before Mahmoud’s rights are violated again.

Vance Says He Never Apologized to Cardinal Dolan. Dolan Says He Did Dolan told EWTN that Vance admitted his attacks on bishops were “out of line” and “not true.” Vance tells the Washington Post he said something very different.

NEW: JD Vance’s clash with Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church is escalating.

On CBS, he accused Catholic bishops of supporting immigration because it “makes them money.”

Cardinal Dolan later said on EWTN that Vance apologized.

Now Vance tells the Washington Post that apology never happened.

So it turns out Ryan Grim got all of the "Platner's wife is Jewish, still think he's a nazi?" schtick from VDARE, a neo-nazi website, and now not only am I more convinced that Platner is a nazi, I'm also convinced Grim is.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

No doubt in my mind that LLMs have trained on cautionary distopian SciFi and use that to output distopian AI reality. It's not sentience by a long shot, it's just a very dumb irony of where we are at right now.

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

New in PN: Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud

"It's bad enough that the campaign against MN is driven by gutter racism. Just as shocking is that this president, who spent a lifetime running scams & swindles, says with a straight face that he wants to fight fraud. And that Vance is the man to do it."

Did a thread about this a while back, and it's still relevant.

And if it all sounds a little antisemitic, anti-trans ideologues constantly point to Jewish figures as being who's really "behind the transgender movement" so they are already primed for straight up nazi ideology.

Every aspect of anti-trans rhetoric is priming them to accept other conspiracy theories and distrust people's own experiences, primary sources, experts, and to treat anyone not speaking from a position of hostility of being compromised, only gut prejudice and bigotry are truth to them.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.
