I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

Incidentally it's wild simultaneously - how blatant Musk is he's motivated by revenge against the trans community for his belief we corrupted or stole away his child - how little the mainstream press notices that That human was "his"; a possession. It was taken away, when it thought for itself.

Remember, the Conservatives didn't do this; Labour did this. In Britain, Labour are the ones cloning Donald Trump's policies n trans folks. Cis folks, keep this in mind when trans folks blow our top at Democrats talking like Donald Trump on trans rights. We think you're turning into Labour.

fuck the trumps and fuck kushner

anyway, I think we can all agree Portland, Oregon caused Pearl Harbor

Repeated infections being a “fact of life” is a framing designed to make you think something is naturally inevitable rather than the expected result of a series of public health decisions designed with something other than your health and safety at the forefront.

Woke is load-bearing for the US economy

if you want a sense of who our opps are, imagine how much of a bitch you'd need to be - how much of an actual bitch for the thing that emboldened you to act like a nazi online to be DOGE

i think the other two options here are "it's actually natural and good and the target of my disgust is the problem and not me" or "and that's why i am evil and a terrible person and will never go to metaphorical secular heaven" and.... guess which one feels better to choose

Why aren’t Republicans constantly being asked to defend the incredibly vile views of their top donor?

maybe grimes will invite nathan fielder to live with her for a month while elon glowers menacingly from the cuck chair

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

incredibly humbling to have been first through the breach on this. no trans woman had ever had a horror novel at a big five publisher before MANHUNT, which is not to slap myself on the back but to comment on how lonely and scary it was. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The question "Is this condition overdiagnosed" is actually asking "Have we found an exceptional case of a medical issue where healthcare is too easy to get?" and the answer to that is always no. There has never, at any point, been a situation where it was too easy to get healthcare.

Machiavelli wasn't even all that machiavellian. They should call it dullesism.

it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works

Surely pronouns and land acknowledgements will follow me all the days of my life.

"How dare you say Dems and Republicans are the same!" and then the Dems go on TV and start talking about autogynephilia.

chatbots are really good if you want someone to tell you all your ideas are genius, all your metaphors are perfect, and all of your vague intuitions are completely on point

If you are a NATO state, you also need a plan for 'What if AfD takes power? What if ReformUK does? What if Rassemblement National does? and so on. Because one suspects this is going to keep happening from time to time.

Given the difficulty of running a small business, you would imagine they have a pretty good sense of their customer base. It turns out they pretty much universally do not.

two poems i wrote. one poem is called "this meeting could have been an email which itself could have been a graphic tee, and i would totally buy that if you made it. And wear it" the other is called "workers of the world unite! you will witness manmade horrors beyond your comprehension" ty love u

War Criminal Opposes Existence of War Crimes Court

this is my vent art

it’s 2026 how are we still doing the thing where website content popping into place during page load pushes buttons down the screen causing misclicks

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Trump digs this sort of thing as it makes him "Putin-like" -- and he's been doing it his entire life. Now he doesn't even care that we know. He has successfully inspired fear in those who expose him and his criminal allies.

I feel like more people should be talking about this part
