They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Nothing suspicious about the president's lackeys illegally removing accusations of sexual abuse against the president from the files of the president's best friend, the pedophile sex abuser.

Is anyone still in touch with Funk?

Good and useful tech doesn't have to force itself onto you. Good and useful tech doesn't have to beg to be used.

This is every tech oligarch too. The American cultural problem of not knowing how to deal with death has become a political and economic problem too I think

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

How do you even write villains any more when stuff like this exists.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

In all seriousness, I see the UK arresting a MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY for Epstein ties and here we sit, our thumbs up our butts, in the country where our 6th grade social studies teachers smugly assured us this kind of lawlessness and nepotism could never happen

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

A chicken sits in a field, a small bird says to it "how do you cope with the knowledge that the executioner's axe will soon swing down on you?" "The who will do what now?" replies the chicken, stunned. "The farmer!" says the bird The chicken retracts its head inside its torso, proclaiming "I will not give him that sick satisfaction." The chicken runs to the other chickens, its head inside its chest, saying "if you wanna live- quick! Make your body a fortress. Go inward. Be Like a turtle!" Later, the farmer looks at the field, now full of chickens with no visible heads and says "dear lord, my farm is best by headless ghost chickens. Wretched, eerie creatures animated only by vengeance. My atonement will never sate their lust for retribution."

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

the Black Panthers were right

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

reading about the effects of cutting USAID. i think a painting of elon musk should be hung in public for everyone to see. a painting of elon musk should be put up against a wall and shot with a nice camera

i think about this every day and the more history i learn, the truer it becomes

I want every single one of you who is an artist to find success and happiness making it, and I want every one of who loves to consume art to be swimming in an absolute sea of genius. Every attempt to shortcut that muddies those waters and robs real artists of success. That's my anti-AI stance.
