Just repeating this to the void in case it helps anyone understand the risks better
COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

It has always been their plan to build an army for domestic ideology & behavior enforcement.
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Conservatives fundamentally feel entitled to a world in which their preferences are normal and everybody else either desperately wants to be them or exists in terror of discovery, a world in which normal has moral force, and they feel entitled to torture and rape and kill their way to that world.

Mel Brooks was parodying a character we all know (and later Terry Pratchett parodied it even more closely) but which never existed in the source material. But everyone watching that film goes "Oh yeah, Igor the hunchbacked lab assistant, of course."

My experience, as a multiply marginalized person who cannot exist in a public space w/o being under the thumb of some type of structural oppression, is that those folks who are singly-marginalized are derailed from solidarity by their ability to conditionally escape structural oppression.

More and more, generative models are looking like productivity tobacco. Promoted by biased research, it’s addictive, harmful, and the little benefit it has (nicotine is a somewhat effective ADHD drug, for example) cannot outweigh the fact that it’s hurting us all, directly and indirectly.

Between diffusion models and LLMs, tech has inflated a trillion dollar bubble around automating activities that have immense social and cultural capital—writing, art, photography—but little actual capital. It’s harmful to education, culture, and society with minimal overall benefit

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Omg I am such a dingbat, I went to look up news articles about foxes, to see if there were any funny examples of foxes doing things in urban environments, so I googled "Fox News", and obviously it gave me fox news, and I was like "What the hell!" then realized that no, this one's on me.
