This is an Administration of warped, weak, broken men playacting mid-century masculinity, and the women enabling them. It may be the apotheosis of the late 20th Century.

I admit this was my election disconnect, the appeal of the "daddy's home!" GOP vibe for Trump, because I immediately thought "My father wakes up every day thinking about how to do the right thing, he's absolutely the opposite of Trump" but then I realized no, there are a ton of those Dads out there.

this thread is sharp.
I hadn't given much thought to the actual philosophy behind the "empathy is bad, actually" movement, because the people espousing it are so transparently anti-human that I never thought of it as having more depth than wolves having the philosophy "Sheep are tasty".
But I realized it matters to AI.

Kindness and empathy aren’t weaknesses, they are strengths. 300,000 years of human evolution hinge on our caring about and protecting one another. Hold onto it. Never let them make you forget it.

They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.

When we miss the Old Internet it's not just nostalgia, it's missing a time when online culture was driven by people who were really good at written communication rather than people who really liked to be on camera and hear themselves talk.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
