Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

If we're doing critical reevaluations of important moments in feminism could we do the revolution in Rojava instead of the fucking 2nd wave for the millionth time?

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

The only thing less useful than a political action you think is useless is complaining on the internet about that action.
For fuck's sake, just do the thing you want to do! The people you're complaining about won't be convinced by your posts, but they might be convinced by your effective actions.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up.
Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other.
