been having too many people blaming Americans for the abuse we are enduring right now and they seemed to get really upset when you point out that they are basically siding with the abuser in a domestic abuse situation

America has been under attack from these monsters for 50 FUCKING YEARS
Anybody saying that America is fine with what's happening or that we don't care about it can go get fucked

That's some abuser bullshit

We don't victim blame

That's gop shit
Everything that is wrong with the GOP can be explained in these 4 charts

The principles of Abuse

The failures of racism

The Special Snowflake chart

The Virtue/Abuse Quadrant chart

I missed the start of #artAdventCalendar yesterday (I was too busy artsing) so here’s a photo of Fritz checking a sketch I did of Desmond’s Tavern a while ago.

The Gaza Health Ministry says more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, with attacks continuing despite the ceasefire deal that came into effect last month.

Today I learned that Wilhoit's Maxim— "Under conservatism, there are in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"— was enshrined in Nazi Germany under the "Dual State Theory."

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

If you have the option, shop at Lowe’s instead of Homeland Depot.
🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI.

"Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements"

Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

Young men nowadays are not more conservative than before. If anything, that’s a distortion perpetuated by focusing too much on what happens in adolescents’ online spaces.
(10/10) Altogether, this study challenges claims of a generational rise of conservative men. Like the young men and women who came before them, adolescent boys and girls in the 2020s are set to converge in their political attitudes as they mature and develop into adults.

I’m just a naïve professor of politics, but it seems to me that it wouldn’t be *that* hard to mandate that every data center project add sufficient renewable capacity to zero out its impact on the grid.

… and when the bubble bursts we’d at least be left with *some* kind of economic & social good.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.

It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Found this in my FB “memories”, from 17 years ago. Still one of my favorite YouTube videos, ever. The internet, indeed the world, was a different place back then.

It’s software. Endless lines of code running on millions of machines in airconditioned warehouses.

Nifty, for sure. But still just software. A finely tuned probability engine. Not particularly intelligent, and certainly not conscious.

Always remind yourself of that.
