Kyle Hill’s video on “IF ANYONE BUILDS IT, EVERYONE DIES” was fantastic. Big “Don’t Look Up” energy. I know there are too many daily problems right now to focus on existential ones, but that kind of feels like the point. #AGI → #ASI youtu.be/8EvoUAxOlAQ?...

Clearly this many years being a billionaire and everyone nodding at everything you say rots your brain and soul.
Power is meant to be limited and distributed, both in time, and in amount. We’ve known for thousands of years what unlimited power does to a human mind.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Feels like this could be right out of an episode of #Fallout
A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE
