It is very funny that Xers built an entire generational identity around contempt for anyone who isn't aggressively apathetic, only to turn around and pout about being ignored. We did what y'all asked us to do and left you alone.

Some people have criticisms of the administration torturing children but under a 5-4 Supreme Court decision written by Justice Alito it is technically not a federal crime, so to preserve accuracy and neutrality, we will not be calling it a crime against humanity. Tomorrow in the New York Times.

We’re not all “in the same boat.”
We are in the same storm.
And some people are on driftwood rafts and dinghys, and some are in superyachts and aircraft carriers, and some of us are in everything in between.

Frankly, this tension sits at the heart of the moment because we are all in this together but exposed to different levels of harm. People know this, and they act according to *their* risk, and things keep grinding on. This reality has become something to avoid when discussing solidarity.

Discord you really do not wanna be going down this road, dude. Your community's good faith has been dwindling for a long while now, and there are plenty of other video calling/messaging platforms that could easily swipe up your spot in a day. It's not too late to pull back bro

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.
If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Remember that the people who are cheering the haphazard mass firing of federal employees — because they hate federal employees and think they are the “deep state” — are simultaneously happy to accept ICE’s unreviewable, often clearly wrong determination of which aliens are most dangerous. MURIKA

There is no going directly back to "before Trump". All these important departments, laws, jobs, and protections, are going to need to be rebuilt basically from scratch.
People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.
The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.

The damage will be far worse than just a 4-yr gap. Both I and the individual who has managed this site for most of the past 50 yrs are retiring within the next 2 years. With this closure, we will not be able to plan a transition.

Just to remind everyone, Mussolini did not actually make the trains run on time. He made it criminal to criticize the functioning of the trains. Among other things.

This is an extremely funny way to interpret a study that says that the more people know about AI, the less they like it. "How do we make AI seem more mystical and magical so they don't understand how their slop sausage is made?"
