The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the day after, when I suddenly realize how cold it has become, and I get in more of a mood for doom metal than any other time of the year

Anyway, relentless doomerism is annoying and I'm gonna just start blocking it.

I find the 'the Democrats won't do anything' doomer line annoying, because the Democrats will be who you make them - look how much the GOP changed over the past decade!

Right now the party feels immovable but the moment it has a presidential nominee, it will be whatever that person is.

If you’re an institution in civil society it is exceedingly important to realize:

We are making lists
given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”

As I keep saying, the liberal left should be less defensive about the culture war. You're goddamn right we started the war, it's a holy war against millennia of oppression and we damn well mean to finish the job
The only major faction which does not believe it is the far right, which understands itself to be in a cultural battle for hearts and minds which is only glancingly correlated with economic anything. It’s worked out wonderfully for them

Where my anti-corpo lefty transhumanists at

Where my fully automated luxury gay space communism™️ (not tankies) at

Where my “I read Kurzweil as a teenager and it really inspired me but I watched in horror as most folks with my interest were mindflayed by Peter Thiel” homies at
i feel that the few of us aging leftish transhumanists, all occupied with other things, aren't going to change the tide

the new generations have a very different concept of society, tech and the future, ours just doesn't seem to exist anymore

You don’t have to engage with antisocial weirdos just because they’ve figured out how to use the language of social justice to try to excuse their bullshit.

My only take is that the National Guard are our fellow citizens and signed up for an honorable job, regardless of how the White House’s abuses. This is horrible.

Using one’s perfectly organic human brain to recite cant and dogma about technology is as boring and offputting as any LLM crap you can imagine. I say this as a criminal defense lawyer who doesn’t work with AI in any way — not at my job, not for fun. I just can’t stand the groupthink. More nuance!

I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
This is also a place being rhetorically pro-immigration could be good. "I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks."

Like, the main difference between myself and Mamdani, ideologically speaking, is that he calls the things we mutually believe in “democratic socialism” and I just call it “liberalism”

CONSOLATION GROOK

Losing one glove
is certainly painful,
but nothing
compared to the pain,
of losing one,
throwing away the other,
and finding
the first one again.

I am willing to accept the surrender of my culture war opponents at any time if they lay down their arms. They will be treated well. The culture war will be over for them.

"questions about consciousness are not even wrong" has advantages in that it tends to irritate everyone involved. i am actually being pedantic because i think the word itself is bad. what you actually want to know is "should i feel bad about being a dick to it or weird for liking it"
