By the way, "illegal" immigration lowers inflation in the US! Undocumented immigrants work for low wages in certain labor submarkets that subsidize the cost of food and housing for US citizens. But that's an awkward truth that doesn't fit neatly into this debate

The problem is when people say AI will have a transformative impact on society sometimes they think that it will have a similar impact to the internet on a similar timescale and sometimes they think it will have a similar impact to the Industrial Revolution within a decade or two

Nuclear is like the only thing that gets regulated this way; in no other industry is "you must spend as much as possible on safety, past any question of cost-benefit, such that any savings gets eaten up by it, while your competition blows the same stuff straight into the air" anti-nuclear fears are responsible for a lot of climate change and air pollution and all that comes with it, because it never traded off against renewables it traded off against more coal

It is extremely strange how half-assed the campaigns of both candidates have been this year compared to previous elections. Neither of them have conveyed a consistent message or a coherent plan to voters (though to her credit Harris’ campaign did drop a hearty 80-something page PDF on economic policy last week or so). Trump is running on the same primordial hatred and madness that he’s always run on, but his heart’s not really in it. Harris meanwhile has been running primarily on the strength of being the Not-Trump and Not-Biden. It feels like one of the least substantive election discourses in my life so far

Open another front. In the land war, just open another front. Surely you will not regret opening another front.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Engaging with politics primarily through the lens of media consumption(/creation) really is an amazing way of ensuring you end up with both terrible politics and just absolute dogshit taste.

listen up chucklefucks, i just gotta say. I'm not defending zir, but I'm sad zie deactivated. Like, i get that trauma lasts a long time and the good stuff is maybe easy to forget?? so maybe it's just like that. And my beloved mutual @/pompeyspuppygirl made a post about zir clout chasing behavior, which is pretty shitty behavior if it's true (and if we're canceling someone it had better be pretty severe). anyways now that zie's gone pompeyspuppygirl said it was okay to make this post (again, thanks ppg everyone go follow her --really everyone in this whole drama is worth a follow)

ANYways yeah zie was my mutual and like, reblogged a lot my smaller posts. (that isn't to discredit what my mutual pompeyspuppygirl is saying about zie clout chasing ofc). AND idk zie was always reblogging art from new and undiscovered artists and reblogging donation posts (which if you don't know is really bad if you're trying to clout chase...) (again, though, ppg is my mutual i believe her.) and like, remember on valentines day i tried to blaze zir posts and zie told me to stop because zie didn't want the posts to go viral? (but again ppg is my mutual and has a lot of proof in the Google doc I'm not trying to disprove that I'm just saying what else I know)

Idk, like i feel like a lot of people loved zir's blog a while back, bc like zie DID make some good posts?? So idk why everybody's acting like they aren't even a little bit sad.,. like ngl this feels like maybe all the reasonable people left to Twitter and all the Twitter refugees who love drama came here??? shdfhhdhdhdhdh haha but idk...look idk, i just, julie i do miss you. idk. more thoughts later sorry I'm getting worked up shshs
