I keep saying that Laocoön is a better literary allusion than Cassandra, because while both of their famous predictions were about the fall of Troy, Laocoön was killed by the gods specifically for arguing against bringing the damned horse into the city

Goodnight from midweek football training at the Hollybush Ground, where all the changing room gossip is about who bewitched Lee Stone. Goodnight from Pamela Goose, transfixed as a patch of green mist moves above the frost-hardened furrows of Scuffer’s Acre. Goodnight from Hookland.

Sigh. Leftists invented whole aesthetics around using technology w/o destroying the world. Anarchist transfems teach classes on solar power and spawn three new electronic music genres weekly. We are notoriously into trains, libraries, vaccines.
We just didn't fall for a scam and now y'all are sore.

I say this, every time i say it (which is far too fucking often), to myself as much as anyone else.
Like Kaba says, hope is a discipline, a practice. That doesn't mean "don't be sad," but rather using what you can to turn sadness, anger, frustration, even despair into something that drives change.

Please listen to me very carefully right now: Learn to take and celebrate small short wins, to build momentum and morale, or you and everyone you need to fight beside you will be burned out, demoralized, and demotivated before the next big opportunity comes along.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang".
Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

i don't know how to put this politely but stating that your work is approved/supported by companies like open ai, google and anthropic doesn't give you the credibility you think it does.
for me, this is a clear sign that i am not interested in engaging or working with you

Following the discovery of radium, the new (radioactive) wonder element was added to wristwatches, children's toys, toothpaste, and even chocolate. But today, we know better. We wouldn't take a new product that we knew was bad for us and bad for the planet and jam it into everything, would we?

Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

tl:dr - the far-right these days is “appropriate gay muscle circuit party culture, acting homosexually not because you aren’t attracted to women (normal), but because you hate women (freakish)”. But bc the purpose is not sex with each other, the energy has to go somewhere else (political violence).
