Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

@adamfortuna.com is there a way to bulk change the editions on read books? I noticed that for my wrap up said physical books, when I read them as ebooks and forgot to change them.
Also, is there a way to set what it defaults to showing you first? Then most likely edition is the least clicks.
thx.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

If your values don't apply to everyone, they're not your values. They're just a favor you do for people that you like.
"They're not supposed to do that to ME" is not a position worthy of respect.
"They should never do that to ANYONE" is.

They ended up homeless and couldn't get help because of what Trump did to the government. They still don't understand "why Trump is betraying me" and they're still angry that "the only person who will represent me is a woke [slur] like you."

I have a client who voted for Trump. Yes, yes, I know, but no one should go through what this person went through, so it's still a righteous fight. Human rights are for all humans. Anyway, they voted for Trump because they wanted mass deportations.

It is simultaneously frustrating and exasperating the number of calls I get from poor white people who are angry that they are the victims of the policies they support when they're used against racialized people and immigrants.

We are in a deeply dangerous, illiberal place in America when the federal government will deploy law enforcement to force state legislators to act on legislation that's contrary to their conscience and an attempt to undermine free elections.

@wkamaubell.bsky.social sort of nails it here: Living with extreme wealth inequality is like having a tall roommate who puts all your stuff on the top shelf, then expects gratitude when he tosses down your snacks. Oh, and he doesn’t think he should have to pay rent.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp
As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible
