Every time I look at the news Trump has done something I was assured he couldn't do when I expressed fears about it in November 2024

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Papers could be written and likely have about the party that hates women being suspicious of "mom" energy in society. Is everyone warm, are we all fed, is everyone safe? They are literally some of the least suspicious concerns in the world, but the right is terrified by them.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

It's something you see with a lot of modern leftism; it's still using the language of 19th century socialism and anarchism but the actual critique isn't dictatorship of the proletariat vs free market parliamentary democracy, it's "Hillary Clinton was a loser and Bernie would have won."

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Dude, it wasn't subtle. I was telling people this guy was a fascist when he was a candidate in 2016 and that's not because I'm some super smart person. It was clear if you listened to the words he said.

This is what you are endorsing when you use the chatbot to expand a sentence into an e-mail that nobody wants to read. This is what your school is supporting when they pay for "ChatGPT Edu". Revenge porn, CSAM and Holocaust denial.

the GenAI hysteria was born from the dream of "What if AI replaced all of our high paid knowledge workers" and that's why the entire CEO class is pushing it at all costs, because they fucking hate their workers. The entire industry is inherently cursed. Awful people with awful goals making bad shit

I do medical editing and they keep pushing my dept to use Copilot. I refuse on ethical grounds but also practical. It doesn't know, it doesn't understand, and it makes asinine mistakes like this one.
This isn't even a hallucination. It's just the robot spitting bullshit because that's all it does.

So yesterday I tried to use the copilot subscription my employer pays for to proofread a technical document I wrote.
In addition to "You're not just doing technical writing 🤓✒️, you're ✨TEACHING THE WORLD✨", copilot recommended I change all references to "48 hours" to "4 days" since "it's cleaner".

There would be no ethical use of generative AI even if it weren't *literally* bankrolling the goddamn gestapo and its concentration camps and providing them the ability to generate infinite nazi propaganda slop. But it is also doing that too.

Like, if *all* the other many, many evils of generative AI haven't convinced you to not touch it, you'd think that extremely publicly aligning yourself with the very people who get aroused by murdering random people and kidnapping 5 year olds and making concentration camps, would.

Generative AI is not just the instrument and aesthetics of fascism, but it has permanently sewn itself to fascism in a fucked up human centipede of scammers and grifters and guys who've long ago forgotten how to think.

1/ Another pressure point outside of a general strike is the public and private shunning of anyone who still supports this administration. I made a clear "MAGA not welcome here" policy long ago, and that has included family members. They need to feel societal pressure. They need to be shamed.

Sincerely, this behavior is worth celebrating. We should commend the people willing to confront and even estrange themselves from old friends over this. Remind them it’s the right thing to do.

My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.
