one of the great follies of the liberal order is the belief that violence can be safely outsourced
I have a firm belief that liberal democracy needs firm guardrails against being manipulated into ending itself and some of these guardrails may trigger illiberal responses.
as early as 2018, the european union had pretty good intelligence on what european parties were on the Russian payroll. why are there still AFD and FPO and FN politicians who are free, in their home countries, and alive.

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Bluesky is proving a fantastic relief from the hellhole that Twitter was turned into.

But it's crucial that the most marginalised voices (like those suffering genocide) are here too.

If not, X will remain relevant.
