This week, the Longreads newsletter has recommended both that NYer piece on Claude and Lena Dunham's dumb cat lady article.

You people are begging for answers! Why aren’t the democrats doing xyz! Why is our government not working for the average person! Why can’t we abolish ice

And you sit there confused rejecting the theory that would give you the answers

You want so badly to ignore class but you CANT

this entire thread is very good
But when things being published are just handfuls of empty tropes, I feel like I'm not taking in someone's observed reality, but rather their third-hand account of something they heard once. It's like being on the very end of a game of telephone, and the message is dull, muffled, flat.

I can't stop thinking about this essay by @zoestodd.bsky.social . It has enlarged my world.

Isn't Travis McElroy still holding their hands??
amazing how yet another round of "you have to promise you'll vote for the shitbag years in advance" reveals itself to have nothing to do with strategy and pragmatics and everything to do with "i am scared and anxious and everyone on the internet needs to promise me everything will turn out alright"

this is the flipside of "what if libraries were bars for adults who were scared of loud noises" and "what if libraries could also do laundry????" discourse you see people with terminal whimsy bring up.
A vivid example of "mission creep" and "libraries aren't essential services except when they're told to be" that are creating a mental health hellscape for library workers.

A point I make in my work on this subject is that we need to reject the insistance that convos abt commercial AI products should be about the tech. Determining whether AI is “conscious” is a Smartwashing exercise in solipcism that distracts from the material conditions of the product’s distribution

“According to the Al Jazeera Arabic investigation, The Rest of the Story, Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” since the war began in October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.”
