I’ve always maintained that if you scratch a libertarian most of the time you find a conservative that wants whatever their niche issue happens to be to be legal and unregulated.

What really needs to happen is better resources for parents with autistic children. Better education about the spectrum, how to aid your child to the best life they can live, and being ready for them to not be what you expected. Not some eugenics ass therapy that won’t work and will only harm kids
NEW: The FDA has removed a webpage warning about dangerous therapies claiming to treat autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under RFK Jr. to discredit long-established science.

Hey America, I know this is down the list a bit, but it would be really great if you’d actually support artists.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

It would be swell if people would learn to listen SPECIFICALLY to Black Women when they tell you what’s coming and what’s at stake. This was all avoidable and NOBODY should be surprised.
It’s affirming that the good people of the United States have so clearly rejected Trump’s terror campaign and mass deportation. New data from Reuters:

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.

Something I appreciate that feels unpopular in too many spaces is competency and command of knowledge. I want people in power who know how to wield it usefully and sustainably when they get it, right from day one.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

like SO MANY anti-capitalist screeds on the internet are things i would just straightforwardly agree with if they were oriented around "greed is or at least contains the seeds of sin" instead of around "i'm angry at mom and dad"

The problem is that Internet Vulgar Marxist Discourse has increasingly replaced the word "greed" with the word "capitalism."

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Yep. In my youth, I experienced “Keep hope alive” as a punchline. It was years before I understood so much of who Rev. Jesse Jackson was.
