If Gavin Newsome is the most electable Democrat then that party needs to burn to the ground

β€œTechno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.”

yes, we are. I tell students and colleagues often that contrary to what they might think, I actually love technology and that is why I’m so angry because I know and can see how it could be and how it most certainly is not.

I got my first work email where a company did a full AI portfolio on me. It was so random but they put together things from the few public facebook posts I've made, my dissertation, and random quotes and stats from both our website and various interviews I've given. Wild and horrid times.

I just got blocked by a larger account who insisted genocide, mass murder, and Israel controlling the US we're fine when Dems do it but not Republicans.

I think you've just revealed that we exist on two vastly different ethical planes and this conversation is pointless but to anyone reading please do not give up on the core of your humanity to support people who actively harm you and others ❀️

We've been so rotted by the shifting of the Overton Window to such a far right level of hyper capitalism, white supremacy, and Christian Nationalism people cannot see how their unwavering support of the DNC is directly contributing to the decline of democracy and the rise of fascism.

Yikes. Mass murdering people isn't a policy disagreement. Nor is the influence of a foreign nation. Y'all have got to hold Dems accountable. Please I am begging you.

I mean that bar is so low it's at literal blatant white supremacy. Democrats might be less of these things but I'd hardly call insider trading, supporting ICE, funding a genocide, being buddies with Epstein (Clintons and others), mass bombings, mass deportations, and AIPAC being above board.

Just watched the America's Next Top Model documentary and everybody on that show but the contestants sucks. Also there were and are far too many men dictating women's bodies and fashion. This doc in light of everything in the Epstein files makes it even more sinister.

It's a lovely show with fantastic acting but I think the format as a 1 hr episodes miniseries would be better

Wait. Is the new Wuthering Heights actually keeping with the dark, depressing, and awfulness of the book? Not a fluffy romance? I am intrigued.

One of the traits I find overwhelmingly charming is when incredibly intelligent, well educated people routinely mispronounce words. Cause I know y'all were nerdy weirdos reading way above your grade level as kids.

I know this is a wild idea but all political candidates and the party they represent should have to earn your vote through like, I don't know, policy development or something.

Yeah pretty much everyone with a decent understanding of politics and history was like "so hey this is the liberal road that leads to fascism" and here we are

Remember when Dems told us that if we voted for this ghoul of a man we would prevent everything going on and then he proceeded to drive the truck full throttle to fascism?

I miss when Instagram was just pictures. Everything moves now. I don't like it.

Nope nope. We're not doing this. Red states don't deserve to be eradicated and disabled people, who heavily populate red states, are the most at risk. The South for example is full of the most Black, rural, and LGBTQ folks. We ain't sacrificing our folks.

Someone on my Facebook feed posted this along with their creepy ChatGPT "what I do at work" picture (that gave them 3 hands). Corporations are responsible for all of this over individuals but y'all we are so fucked.

Symbollic annhilation is an actual real and significant issue but I swear if white gays rally around the removal of the Stonewall rainbow flag when trans people are being eradicated and immigrants are being kidnapped by masked goons I'm going to lose my shit
