There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see. But there is some. There's more than one would think.

My most woke opinion is that it should be legal to kill billionaires
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Once your TLAC (Total lifetime accumulated capital) goes above 10 Million USD, you simply become a literal outlaw with a 1 MLN bounty. It doesn't matter if you've spent it, or if you lost it gambling. Your whole life revolves around staying BELOW that cap, or you choose to fight.

If Americans weren’t so hateful these schemes wouldn’t even work. We have people here who WANT to believe this shit and act this way.
Don’t just blame India and Russia. Blame Christians, churches, and other Republican institutions that promote this white supremacy nonsense.

This makes Zuckerberg complicit. I’m beginning to understand why so many tech bros support trump. It’s because they’re guilty of egregious behavior, possibly criminal, and they can buy their way out with trump.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Incredibly important and under-recognised at the moment as newer generations will default to AI for search. This is another crisis we'll be too late to fix if action is not taken now.

This war for reality and over “reliable sources” is also why Elon has launched Grokipedia. So the saga of that launch is also in there…my page is kind of funny, since it’s got some hallucinations and there’s no human for me to appeal to. 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway: funny as it is, it’s also serious and v important.

The Right-Wing Attack on Wikipedia
The free internet encyclopedia is widely used to train AI. That’s why conservatives are trying to dethrone it.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It's funny how these people keep presenting the same 'plan' and pretend it's a new plan and better.
Like handing 5 bucks to pay for a 50 bucks product, getting a 'that's not enough' and then putting the bill away, taking it back out and trying again with the same bill.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

As I argue in The Language of Climate Politics: we are stuck not because climate politics are polarized, but because they’re UNIFIED (across the right and center-left) on the lie that we can keep using oil and gas but still deal with climate change anyway.
Here’s a good example of that discourse.
Here’s a good example of that discourse.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.

The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
