And the thing is, the pendulum didn't just swing. It swung so fast and so hard that we're probably not going to be able to walk it back. You can't just nudge it back to center. We're probably going to need a whole new pendulum.
But I think people are starting to wake up to the fact that they still got a bad deal, and they're going to start wanting things that are just good enough over things that are the most insane maximalist version of whatever it could possibly be.
People stopped showing up, stopped being part of something together. And listen, we did get some real things out of it. Diseases are getting caught earlier, drugs are getting discovered faster, and people who couldn't access certain things before actually can now. Those are real.
We've been tricked our whole lives into thinking everything used to be so bad. And sure, technology made things easier. But what nobody told us was that making everything easier would also make people like each other less.
and wanted to buy a new coffee table but I had two good ones that lived within the rooms they needed to, sometimes you need to let your creativity take over. what would you do with this?
at least it is happening this quickly. I really thought I would take at least 20 months. but here we are. and the terribleness is terrible. but I feel different. I feel like there's a different path now.
and we are here. that Iranian Lego Pete hegseth AI generated animated video with a hip hop song. layered over the top is the tipping point. I understand that that is an insane bundle of words to string together in a sentence.
Yeah for some of us, that are on Blue sky. But not other places....
It's a shame I get no reach on Blue sky. It's interesting to me that the things I said a year and a half ago are all coming true... In that, I feel even more confident in my political instincts than ever before. A scroll back in time will explain.
Good. They should be
Do it! Do it! Do it!!!
This Massie & Khanna pair up may end up being more interesting as we continue.
Even if Massie doesn't win primary, which I don't think will happen, there is still a lot to do with an external voice, if that has to be the case. There could be more of an attention economy focus here... Republicans?
Could very possibly end up a Platner versus Carlson 2028.
The next moments we will face will call for genuine warmth, care about our neighbors, and a complete reevaluation of what the f*** are we actually doing here
If this unpacked luggage is not a giant sign from the heavens, I don't know what is. Fuck baggage
Cool
Obvious statement, these are the junior positions that do all the grunt work. What happens when they never learn from that grunt work HOW to become the person who creates new concepts, makes hard decisions, and has the mental capacity to define what prompts will yield good results? HOW?
In our current AI environment, the way I see it the jobs that are most at risk are those where ideas and decisions are not key.
Zeitgeist/Breakthrough news topics and conversations have always been the SINGLE driver of voter turnout. It's ALWAYS, always CULTURE that changes the trajectory and bent the arrow back upwards. Trust the people, and in an accelerated timeline, it will look different than in the past.
I mean, vaccines are obviously a sticking point, but maybe not for a lot of these people
Dems should spin up a wing that actively pursues what the MAHA moms want to see, and message loudly how the Trump administration is removing nearly all health- impacting environmental regulations. Have a bill ready on done of their loudest points
Is all the fallout and what is happening now, some actual consequences, the actual k!ll switch?
Could someone invent a filter of some sort to put on our pictures to keep our faces from being used in mass surveillance exercises?
Boots on the ground us participation in war related activities has changed dramatically during my lifetime. Apparently so has military enrollment. I would be incredibly surprised to learn that this is not just correlated with the disillusionment of American males, I would put a few $ on causation.
I am positive if anyone with the power to remove Stephen Miller from the White House & politics forever and ever, Amen, DID, we could easily raise a GoFundMe to envy an embarrassing lottery winnings amount as a thank you.
We are close to an extreme event that will reset the future
Where is JD?
These people must be very, very busy right now.
Rewatching Stop the Steal on HBO, it is disgusting how the protesters shown look EXACTLY LIKE ICE. Not that this is a new thought, but the visual is striking.
