The most infuriating thing about every ridiculous and dangerous scandal that has unfolded over the last two months is that this is exactly what political reporters wanted. It's a dream come true for them, and they downplayed Trump's rhetoric and played both sides on every issue during the campaign specifically so that he would get elected and this would happen.

there's something uncomfortable about western millennials/gen z's deep obsession with watering Studio Ghibli movies down into "wholesome bean comfort flicks aesthetic uwu japan" when half of these people completely miss the point of these films and the complex nuanced topics they deal with, especially when it comes to post war Japan.

Sometimes I think about how a significant chunk of American political discourse and online political discourse in general over the past 10 years has been dedicated to pretending this tweet was not true or was never actually posted

I feel like the big push for AI is starting to flag. Even my relatively tech obsessed dad is kinda over it. What do you even use it for? Because you sure as hell dont want to use it for fact checking.

There's an advertisement featuring a woman surreptitiously asking her phone to provide her with discussion topics for her book club. And like... what. Is this the use case for commercial AI? This the best you could come up with? Lying to your friends about Moby Dick?

I think people mean well when they insist that America isn't a Christian country but it just obfuscates the situation and makes it more difficult for minorities to frame their experiences. America is a fundamentally, structurally, ideologically Christian country from top to bottom. It's exhausting, it's suffocating, and it's the truth. Nearly all political forces, pop culture phenomena, and major life philosophies here are either built on Christianity or propped up as subverting Christianity in a way that is, of course, still entirely about Christianity. Leftwing movements here that are ostensibly hostile to Christianity still ultimately structure their worldviews around their own versions of salvation, rapture, original sin, eternal judgement, heaven, and hell. Most people here fail to see Christianity all around them, influencing every facet of American life, for the same reason that a fish can't see water.

ok listen to me. just because you are leftist or have socialist politics or whatever does not mean you're immune to nonsense. the number of times reasonably smart leftist people have fallen for obvious bullshit, cherry picked statistics, clickbait websites made to lure them in instead of their facebook-addicted grandma, literal joke/parody news including stuff designed to make fun of leftists, stuff that uses bullshit stats like IQ, studies in shit journals that haven't been peer reviewed, and literal conspiracy theories that happen to align with their worldview instead of the fash. guys. it's a lot. you have got to fact check and not take everything at face value just because it matches your politics

when you refuse to vote from the left, the message sent to politicians is that left-leaning people are not reliable voters, that is why they court moderates after elections like this.

right-leaning people will vote for whatever idiot they put up, they are reliable voters.

so don't act shocked when you don't vote and the Overton Window shifts right

WHEN YOU REFUSE TO VOTE, YOU ARE ACTIVELY MAKING THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS COUNTRY MORE CONSERVATIVE AND YOU NORMALIZE THE ABSOLUTE MONSTROSITY THAT IS AMERICAN RIGHT-WING POLITICS.

if you don't vote for the candidate who will do the least harm and sit home or throw it away to a write-in or third party, the results will NOT be what you want. Even Ralph Nader eventually acknowledged this.
