Sometimes I just give myself a moment and think about how scathing “posted in another nigga hood like a bad bitch” really is. Megan really planted a seed that day.
I think it's bad to commit in advance to voting for any candidate because it's like going to a car dealership and beginning negotiations by offering above asking price and also calling them before you get there to let them know you're already sold and would like the extended warranty, please.

colorectal cancers are the leading cause of death for people under 50. i get very irreverent with jokes about beans and vegetables but i saw my grandfather die, alone in a care home, with colon cancer. we couldn't see him because it was the peak of covid. it's a violent, dehumanising death.
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

today i heard an sam altman evangelist complaining because apparently, if you put too much information in one chat, it slows to a crawl. that's right folks -- the more information you feed chatgpt, the worse it performs.

i'm the too woke friend who believes homeschooling and charter schools are smokescreens for child abuse. if i have to pay school taxes, put the children IN SCHOOLS.
Looking for an edge in college admissions? Just pull your kid from school. Homeschooling, long associated with hippies and religious conservatives in the U.S., is in the middle of a rebrand and a boom.

serious question: what would a "reasonable discussion" debating the position "what if the hype generated by a bunch of serial liars who have utterly failed to generate profit from their products, despite unlimited investor cash, is true" look like?

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
whenever i have tradespeople in my 2nd bedroom/office, i inevitably have to explain my makeshift recording studio and the podcast. today, i spent about 10 minutes explaining why women want to fuck monsters and why young women are so cynical about dating men to a contractor.

I'm not even saying that's the most *likely* possibility, but it's just very clear that the likelihood of that outcome as increased and even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 change that "AI replaces most to all white collar jobs in 10 years" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order!
