"With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing," he said. "You can also be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth."

Helt övertygad om att väldigt många svenskar inte vill ha en valrörelse där alla tävlar om att låta hårdast i tonen mot motståndarsidan/svaga grupper/barn. Ska vi testa att inte bry oss alls om politikerna och prata grundläggande politiskt ideologi och större sakfrågor med folk som är intresserade?

Susanne Nyström: Den vanligaste socialbidragstagaren är en barnlös ensamstående man

Mest socialbidrag betalas ut till ensamstående män. På andra plats kommer ensamstående kvinnor. Det är dags att försöka ändra på det.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Fascists like Trump are capitalizing on all of this. In both directions, unfortunately.

Plausibly calling real videos fake is as much a danger as people believing fake videos are real.

OpenAI’s Sora puts a watermark on its videos but not enough people know what it means.

To complicate matters, people have built tools to easily remove and (oddly) add a Sora watermark. Sharing real videos with an AI watermark can make for a funny joke, but it also really fucks with the landscape.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

Ah yes, the terrifying streets of “war-ravaged Portland”.

The absurdity of this so-called “occupation” is perfectly captured here: riot cops with guns and shields, made ridiculous by a Victorian tea party on the sidewalk.
