40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

So hey, Bsky. I did a thing that's just the minutest possible first step of a plan I first dreamed up in 1996. It's an implementation of Douglas Hofstadter's parallel terraced scan in preparation for a lot more work in that direction.

Down in the polls. Look and feel like shit. You tack to the center, but it does nothing for your odds in the left-of-center stronghold you’re trying to win. At the 11th hour, you receive endorsements from Elon Musk and Donald Trump. You Google if hemlock is still a thing.

Calm down, liberals. Donald Trump's demand that the DOJ pay him $230 in taxpayer dollars is just an opening bid in a negotiation. He's unlikely to walk away with more than $180 million. Feel silly now?

Dr. Claudine Gay, President of Harvard, and a Black woman, was forced to resign by the New York Times at the behest of Chris Rufo and a braying pack of right wing shriekers...
Over a footnote.
