How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.

trains are such a great example of how the future is here, if we want it and are willing to subsidize it

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

Requiring your employees to denounce violence against executives β€” and only executives β€” while calling it a β€œSolidarity Pledge” is some I don’t even know fuckin what

Engels on 'Social Murder'
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder.
But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ...
Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)

The idea of β€œsocial murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore

We keep telling you that it is not about children. Matt Walsh at the Supreme Court says this is just the beginning and they will not stop until "trans ideology is entirely erased from the Earth."

This is a statement of genocidal intent. You cannot erase an idea, but you can try to erase a people.

Fantastic thread! Heck, I wouldn’t mind slow turnarounds. I think we’ve expected too fast and furious that we’ve overworked workers and it’s become OK to not patch up or reuse old garments.
