it's like how movies love to show someone having a panic attack or freaking out and getting slapped hard in the face and brought back to their senses. this makes for exciting or funny visual storytelling but in real life it is very possibly the worst conceivable response to an actual panic attack.

first of all, assume everyone (who isn't a bad actor like an abuser or a fascist etc) is a reliable expert in their own experience and their own life. no "harsh truth" you can think of is actually something they haven't thought already a thousand times. hearing from you TOO can only cause them pain.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Many of you did things this year you’d never have dreamed of being able to do in November last year. Next year you’ll do more, and we should have a great deal of hope because of that.

Please say “ethnic cleansing” when posting this stuff because that’s what they’re broadcasting. They’re broadcasting plans to engage in ethnic cleansing.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Here's a simple happiness hack:
Do something for someone that is truly altruistic. Do it in secret if you can, and take no credit, if you can manage that in a world that sees everything.
Do this as often as your circumstances allow, which may be once a year or once a day.
Try it and see.

when anyone says they worked hard on AI output you gotta hear it in the same way as a boss who says they worked really hard on something by which they mean they just kept telling other people who know how to make the actual work to do it better and redo it because it's not what they meant to ask for
something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end
