The way that all popular communication infrastructure is being monopolized and flipped on its head and bombarded with bots, algos, AI, paid shills, etc. should be frightening to everyone. It's like settler colonialism in the digital world.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

For a long time, I was very itinerant, and had to stick to digital media for my own convenience, but the AI-ification of everything is reminding me how important physical media remain.
Especially books.

No I am not going to set up 2-factor authentication in order to buy movie tickets just so you can text me for the rest of my life that Jumanji #76 is coming out

Get bent, I will walk up buy my tickets like a peasant I guess

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

The Spanish baptized the women, providing religious cover for them to be raped.

She was “at their mercy as a victim,” said Camilla Townsend, a historian at Rutgers University and an expert on Malinche. But she easily learned Spanish and “she saved her own life really by choosing to translate.”

The governor wears shorts. Rumors he’s looking to 2028. So is Gov. Newsom, California movie star handsome, smart and good troll, but Pritzker, despite being a billionaire has a “man of the people” vibe that most can identify with, plus no X-wife, X fiancée of Don jr., to haunt a Presidential run.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
