I think this whole framework is fascinating and I really hope some people in my "fancy words" side of the internet will read it and share thoughts.

All of this is confirming my belief that Republicans never learn from a loss and Democrats never learn from a win
“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

The thing this always reminds me of is the apocryphal stories of, like, a cargo cult or somesuch hearing a radio for the first time and thinking there must be a tiny man trapped inside.
Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Tinder CEO: Listen, dating is tough. We all know how disgusting and unpleasant sex is, and emotional connections? Ew. Just nasty. Finally with the magic of AI we can automate that tedium away.

I was visited in the night by a ghostly spectre, bound in chains, who spoke to me of the terrible fate that would await me if I didn't change my ways. I can't remember what it said exactly because I was confused about the chains. Like what function do the chains serve

Hey, any SVG blend-mode experts here? (RT for reach please)
Why is this happening? If I set `mix-blend-mode:lighten` on 3 objects to mix full saturation RG and B, it lightens to white, as expected.
But if I use `mix-blend-mode:darken` with CMY, it doesn't go to black. izs.me/blend-mode-s...

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Imagine being so dedicated to stealing people's healthcare that you let letters telling them that their premiums were about to spike by 100-500% go out 3 days before an election, while you were also trying to starve 40 million people to bully the other party into letting you steal the healthcare.

Look, I basically experienced UBI: I did a funded PhD in the humanities. I didn’t get rich (well I kinda did from my side hustle), but I had enough to live and great health insurance. I did an enormous amount of work that was interesting to me and frankly useless by any other measure.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.
(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)
