Millennials, remember when they accused of us killing diamonds and chain restaurants? We can use our touch of decay and join forces with the other generations to destroy this thing with aggressive apathy.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

People complain about demanding perfection and it being unrealistic and whatever but they're missing the point, which is that the first priority has to be protecting those most at risk.
And that means being pragmatic but also being alert and aware and not letting harm go just because it's easier.

Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe.
Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things.
Rand Paul is a stopped clock and still a self-centered destructive shit but sometimes possibly useful. Also still a bad person.

Some Republican lawmakers call for mass expulsion of American Muslims

This is absolutely a valid connection, but it does Louise Fletcher a disservice. Even in making as deeply, obviously corrupted a soul as Kai Winn's she was far more expressive/possessed of human emotion than Erika Kirk comes across. I don't know if it's 'media training' or Botox, but... *shudder*
The genius of Louise Fletcher's portrayal of Kai Winn is how skillfully she did Erika Kirk face.

When he meets his end, I think we really have to do it up right. Imagine a combination of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Juneteenth, and Cinco de Mayo. Fireworks, presents, a turkey, a cookout, a taco bar, decorations, piñatas, mistletoe, bonfires, communion, and a fuckin wicker man.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Indiana just sued Pornhub under the state’s AV law, claiming it fails to block Indianans from using VPNs to access the site.
Indiana wrote a bad law that they were warned was grossly ineffective, and rather than admit it or fix it, they’re blaming porn sites.

I have come to the view that a) there is nothing inherently wrong with pornography, b) a worrying amount of Actually Existing Pornography is essentially hate propaganda against women, c) a lot of b is made under deeply abusive conditions.
Yes, which is why it is both true that (1) allowing THIS congress and THIS administration to sign internet restrictions or porn bans is crazy, but (2) there is a major, major problem with online access to pornography and liberals/Democrats needs to start thinking of ways to reckon with it.
also the online far-right are, almost to a man, porn-brained at a level that's quite difficult for people to process. they genuinely believe pornography is an expression of reality, and porn tropes shape their thinking about women.

What if the social media experience some seek is not post-truth rhetorical combat with the deck stacked against them? What if they prefer conversations and good faith engagement? Why wouldn’t that be okay?

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.
