remember the brief period where democrats were responding to shit like this by saying "that's weird. these people are weird. why are you worried about the sperm of teenagers" and it worked really well so they immediately stopped doing it

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

The only tariff fee I can think of regarding these guys is the extra five dollars they cost now

Why would you want to remind me of that, S7

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

The meme where the face is looking at a bit of media, seeing the "shallow" real message, in this case "the fight for trans rights has been underway for decades and even media from 1985 saw very clearly which was the right side" and the "deep" joke message going over its head is "trans people love hamburgers"
