One reason we need to stake out the maximalist position on what happens to ICE agents & Trump officials afterwards both loudly and often is that it's morally correct, but another is to make it clear to political opportunists that "we must look forward, not backward" shit will end their careers

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Four months of shootings and deaths. This doesn't even count the neglect and death in their concentration camps. Fuck. This. Shit.

A huge part of Spirit Crossing's visual style is the cel-shading and outlines! Everything is modeled for the appearance of these shaders and how it renders in Unreal. That means using soft edges where you don't want an outline and hard edges where you do.🧵

An unmaintainable codebase is caused by social or economic factors (the manager wants a feature factory, the company has no real competitors, etc). If the same incentives are in place, then an LLM is just a way to go faster in an awful direction.
So the LLM slopcode occupies a similar position to the place "code written by scientists" does now.
The pessimistic vision is that a lot of software engineers just spit out slop as fast as they can, continuing the industry's bad habit of trading rigor for velocity to an excessive degree.

While we’re in the streets demanding ICE Out For Good, Democratic leaders are dodging questions about whether an agency that teargasses babies and kills innocent people should continue to have a budget bigger than most countries’ militaries. It’s pathetic.

Rich cultural text that Will Stancil is in the streets of Minneapolis fighting ICE while the ten thousand losers who want him to dead are petrified of No Kings events because they might see a mom with a cell phone.
Just a perfect distillation of every discourse.

"defund the police" is where things ended up at, because every police reform victory ended up meaningless because cops could and did ignore them, and that was possible because they could and did threaten local government officials who would have to actually enforce those reforms.

One thing I think gets lost in the Marxist criticism of the Luddites vs the sort of Luddite fandom that's broadened in the last few years: The Luddites lost.
gonna just fully lean into being a stereotypical leftist here: yinz claim to have read marx yet clearly haven't read marx or internalized the ideas within bsky.app/profile/segy...
marx is pretty explicit

Next time @ezraklein.bsky.social has a conversation with Ben Shapiro about civility and tolerance and building bridges across the ideological divide, maybe he could ask him about his employees?

It kinda raises the question of how many chickenshit democrats are chickenshit, vs how many chickenshit democrats just don't think the constitution should apply to latinos & muslims.
and by making it a dispute over due process and the Constitution, trump made it possible to build a cross-ideological coalition against abrego garcia's removal. it was the most favorable terrain possible and it genuinely blows my mind that ostensible professionals couldn't see it.

The reason a freakish organization like PSL is able to get credibility with people protesting war or genocide is because they're organized and their members actually show up and take risks. If a liberal or socialist org isn't willing to do that, why should the people taking risks listen to them?

This is a fundamentally dishonest response to someone expecting you to actually show up for the anti-war movement you want leadership of.
