A year ago, the NPS was ordering the owners to 'immediately cease and desist' all operations within the preserve. The Trump administration has encouraged them to charge ahead with industrializing this national park site. This is a blatant threat to the Mojave Preserve, setting a dangerous precedent🌎

my pet theory is because cisheteronormativity is artificial, it requires constant propaganda to stay in place. trans existence becomes argument because it gets reframed as opposition propaganda by these same forces that spread cisheteronormative propaganda, rather than being viewed as us just vibing

Look, if people aren't willing to PLAINLY call out Republican policies as murderous to everyone except their chosen rich, then what the fuck are we doing? This isn't even hyperbole! The policies are all there, politicized eugenics is just murder by policy!

I think it should alarm everyone in the world so much more that the men in charge of these companies, these technofascists, are so filled with rage and hate, that they want to remake the world into something that benefits only them, and kill off the rest of us, that they are so UNMOORED FROM REALITY

Fuuuucccckkkk yes.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

Wow. Thank you so much for this careful entry. I’m very grateful.

I’d only add that many of the doctors in WWTI are now MAHA/MAGA royalty.

How’s that all going so far?

It is likely that Trump's Iran catastrophe will lead to some kind of compensation for all the countries the US has screwed (which is all of them). We would do well now to lay groundwork for seizing assets of the Palantirs and Musk fortune that enabled Trump's rise and invasion.

“Noah Davis” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (or whatever they’re calling it now—they’re the HBO Max of museums) is essential viewing. It’s also really troubling. My take here:

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
