Bad writer but good person.
A revelation to me was realizing "great artists steal" doesn't mean they shamelessly copy as Tarantino suggests here, it means once they borrow an idea they do it so well it belongs to them in the public consciousness.

My hot take for Bluesky is they should have kept the invite system
One of the great things about early Bsky is that we promoted the idea of engagement. That is, instead of follow for follow, we followed those who conversed with us. Engagement leads to connection. So please, let’s not lose that! Engage, not just like—that’s why I follow folks, myself!

It's still shocking to see how fast this happens. Once you debase yourself by bullying the vulnerable the guilt just rockets you through a spiral of increasingly enraged bigotry.

You might not like it that trans people aren't willing to sacrifice themselves but a lot of them (and many allies) won't. You can't say you don't accept people holding their votes contingent; that's exactly what the transphobes who you're trying to win over by appealing to their bigotry are doing.

Museums should stop displaying their collections as if patrons will view them, and start designing them for robbers who will be stealing them.
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

Liberals will literally ask "what are you going to do, stab me again?"
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

Both the right and left establishments are facing a crisis of their bases internalizing and organizing around values that were only meant to be vote-garnering pablum. But it's shocking to see one of them complain about it so explicitly.

There may be a day the House votes 427-1 to do something good but I very much doubt it's today.
The House votes 427-1 to approve a measure that would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
House votes to approve releasing the Epstein files by a near unanimous margin
The measure would compel the DOJ to release files regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It now goes to the Senate, where some lawmakers want extra guardrails around what can be released.

In cases of destroyed evidence they should just assume all accusations were confirmed by the evidence and make a ruling.
Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

To remain ignorant in the Information Age is a choice!
I have yet to see the evidence that there are enough people to pull from the left that doing that will win.
I have yet to see evidence that progressives and labor can be counted on to actually show up and vote.
