love to post about my totally normal, ideologically consistent beliefs

what—and I cannot stress this enough—the fuck are you talking about

I would like to know the exact percentage cutoff for where we can stop worrying about people’s rights. 0.6% is not enough. do trans people get rights at 1%? 5%?

you know you’re dealing with a Genuine American Politics Knower when they drop arse and paedo in the thread

I’d like to credit my latin degree but this was dumb luck

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

lot of interesting replies and quotes to this, including qualified people saying yes and no. and only a handful of unhinged posts, which isn’t bad around here.

for sure, but this panic (by people with no such qualms) to bring in someone new when you have someone else in the race with a national profile is wild

people must really hate katie porter?

In sorry buddy you thought you could what?

just wait a few years until we’ve bred this robot with the other fastest robots

finally, an anti-pluralism take that’s right

man this is a *wild* thing to catch with the naked eye

Did you see my thread the other day where I kinda touched on this idea? bsky.app/profile/kate...

I did! and I thought about posting my long-term intrusive thought then and then waited for some reason. It’s a *fascinating* story.

100%, like I said, I don’t disagree with Jesse, and he has two trans kids so I know how important this is to him personally.

her amendments to the GA’s bills were almost all bad but not crippling, and not vetos.

likely not. I’m just saying there’s work being done. pretty much everything still sucks!

a thing I already thought about and now vibecoding/AI dependence has made me think about more:

do we currently have the capability to build a skyscraper without computers? in a literal sense, could we build the Empire State Building today as it was built at the time?

Guy who has only seen Chinatown, watching his second movie: Getting a lot of 'Chinatown' vibes from this...

this might be on your beat @susanrinkunas.com

not that I disagree with Jesse, especially re federal meddling, but Spanberger just signed a bill outlawing criminal investigations into medical procedures in Virginia and banning sharing of data with other states. I need to reread it to see if I missed something bc it reads as *very* broad.

the idea of building machines that operate like humans is so weird. it’s not like we’re well-designed. get back to me when you’ve made TARS.

I mean, I’ve never loved sequels
