I guess you could call this an "authoritarian cluster trait" along with traits like cognitive rigidity, essentialism, legalism, and militarism. Maybe I will elaborate later.

Red flag for a potential fascist: someone who always finds fault in others' enjoyment.

This doesn't mean someone is absolutely a fascist, but most fascists have this trait. "Let people enjoy things!" Only applies to things they like. Everything else is a sure sign of the fall of the West.

The FRUSTRATING part is that he's *this* close to getting it right.

The modern internet is being royally fucked by corporations, oppressive authoritarian regimes, data breaches and scambots (which telegram has no shortage of by the way)

but then he veers right into a bunch of dogwhistles.

Fascism is a joyless ideology that always looks for problems where there are none because if anything is fine just the way it is, the fascist has no reason to exist. Expressing any kind of enjoyment or contentment is the greatest sin to a fascist.

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late.

Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Meanwhile the FG candidate has been dog whistling hate against Queer ppl. If she can’t even be inclusive in the 26 counties, how is she going to be inclusive when she gets to the Bundestag/City Hall in Belfast?

It’s fair to say that Humphreys has brought the campaign lower & lower. Connolly leads.

It can’t have escaped anyone’s notice how the right wing media & FG have been playing dirty tricks on independent Irish presidential candidate Catherine Connolly.

Funnily enough, an influential FG figure explains how it works. Not exactly honourable is it?!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Literally the only silver lining to AI collapsing the US economy would be that the economy gave out before the environment did.

Let's be real though, for most of the world that's a pyrrhic victory. But better a "greatest depression" than total ecological collapse.

Can someone do a math for me and find out how many movies are released per year that are not sequels or remakes compared to original stories/adaptations?

And how has that ratio evolved since 1960 lol

Finally I have an answer to all those people who say to novelists, “I have such a great life story! You write it and we’ll split the profits!”

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 1d

I think the killer argument against relying upon AI to write is the massive amount of thinking and concept-welding that goes on for me (and I assume most everyone else) during the *process* of writing something - it’s a cognitive process and I know I’d actively get stupider if I skipped it

Decorative Gourdian Knot @buckrawheat.bsky.social · 1d

I also just wonder if any of these people have ever really appreciated the value added in going through the experience of something like this. The fact that it changes you to engage with and puzzle over your own work, that you're not a content printer that just needs juicing to go faster.

Ahh. The reactionary mindset in a nutshell "secretly, everyone is afraid to agree with me that this selfish thing is Good Actually™️™️™️, so I'm going to just do it bc then I'm actually doing what everyone is doing & am not REALLY selfish".

it's why the RW tilts at "voter fraud" windmills so much.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.
