The discourse around the $600 boots that Rama Duwaji wore to the inauguration is so telling. Conservatives are really out here insisting that socialism means no one gets to have nice things. When in reality, the aim of socialism is for everyone to be able to afford nice things. It's bread and roses.

When ChatGPT first released a few years back, I was absolutely blown away. Sure, it was kind of gimmicky back then and prone to hallucinations, but holy crap, the potential it offered. This was exactly the tech I'd been waiting my entire life to see realized.

Hey, all. Don't post here much, but my Facebook account just got suspended for no reason that I can discern. So if you're wondering why you can't find me there, that's why. I'm still here, though I don't check this account as often. Hopefully my appeal goes through quickly.

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is wild.
It starts with a single verse of vague well wishes, and that's all most of us ever sing. But the entire rest of the song follows the singers' increasingly unhinged attempts to secure figgy pudding.

"It isn't racism—it's economics."
You don't have to actively hate people to be racist. The fact that you're willing to throw them under the bus for economic reasons is still racism.
