This isn't a hot take. This is just you being stupid as shit.

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

I don't know if immaterial is the right word choice for a half a billion dollars being spent by a single person on an election, even if it doesn't effect their personal wealth. And even then, this is an investment to keep his personal wealth up.

It's not just as simple as being equivalent to a man with a million dollars in the bank spending $50. It's a man with a million dollars in the bank buying making a $50 investment that could increase his wealth by an exponential amount.

I think the fascists are actually completely fine with the world we live in where they get away with everything without repercussions and pretending like threatening them would make them worse seems intentionally obtuse.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I know this is meant as a tossed-off line, but think about it as a serious claim for a bit. Is that true? Would executing people we didn’t like say “You are not above the law”? Or would it say “There is no law, merely a populist struggle for control”? Which world would fascists prefer, you think?

Completely pointless thread. President Harris doesn't exist and won't ever exist because her and Biden fumbled an easy election. She's not your fucking lost savior she's 1/3rd the reason we're all in this mess.

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

There is exactly one job where you can have no idea what you're doing, fuck everything up so bad the organization you're working for might never recover, and not only still have a job, but often get a raise, and that's political consultation.

I'm a big fan of: "Actually going the speed limit is dangerous because everyone else is speeding" And/or "If you're going slower than traffic you'll actually get charged with obstructing the flow!" No. These things aren't true at all. Who started this bullshit?

Speeding talk is so funny because no one needs to reveal themselves as a reckless shit head on here to strangers but they just cannot restrain themselves. You can just go speed and probably get away with it but you gotta make sure everyone thinks you're right for doing it too.
