Trump, the GOP, and ICE lost the culture war just now.
Completely.
Expect them to lash out tomorrow. More violence. More disappearances. More deaths. Overreaching is all fascists know to do in reaction to a public defeat.
Fight back that much harder.

I've found music to be a great inspiration as society collapses around us. I'll keep updating this thread with a variety of songs I love. Might as well do something positive, right?

The levels of grift in the hate-your-body economy continue to reach for new levels of creative destruction with the onset of GLP-1s. I’m watching them spin up a “loose skin” panic in real time.
I’m not sure America can exist without the idea that bodies must be punished.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context
