one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

As others have pointed out, the idea that we can control their behavior by modeling respectability (cooperating with the compulsory grief around Kirk, for example, and not saying truthful/angry things about him) is akin to an abused person's belief that they can control the abuse by being perfect.

ICE doubling its immigrant detention facilities—and increasing space for families with children— is chilling.
Helping out Adam here who is so shocked he’s become pun-less.
But it’s bad.
Makes me think about the old debtor prisons, where whole families lived.

Substack doesn't just let Nazis turn a profit. Now, it’s promoting Nazi content, swastikas and all. That’s not just a shift in platform policy. It reflects a shift in our broader social landscape.

Elon is building a satellite cage around the world so only those with access and wealth will be able to see the stars.
We are being robbed of the night sky and the shared humanity that has come from staring into the night sky and being humbled by its vastness over our time as a species.
