My new video, Notes on Vanishing, is out now.
I keep returning to an unthinkable question: is it time for trans people to make ourselves disappear?
Enjoy 🌃

I've had to talk in public about AI recently, for reasons I barely understand. I always ask, "raise your hand if you've read something funny created by AI?" No one does.
That's because AI is inherently a mediocrity machine. It tries to find the middle of everything. It might be fine but never good.

it's very similar to the process in Hollywood of making "data-driven" programming choices - ultimately good political messaging and hit movies are both an unknowable and unquantifiable commodity and the best process we've ever developed for getting it is "let smart, experienced people try stuff"
This piece is from 2017!
“Data-Driven’ Campaigns Are Killing the Democratic Party”
And still @mattyglesias.bsky.social is somehow selling data-driven “popularism” to support the status quo as the American Republic is ending.

Agree 100%. Using slurs gets you blocked, no exceptions. Being an "anti-woke" leftist is just wanting to be praised for being a reactionary.
I've seen lefties floating the idea that "We should use the R word against bigots to show that our hatred for them transcends our morals" and
Absolutely THE FUCK not. Are we for real with this? Like, seriously? Absolutely not, under any circumstances actually.

I felt like watching something pulpy and I have a lot of nostalgia for this (underrated imo) film.

When I used to try and gently explain the world we were rapidly headed for, people thought I was being paranoid. Or worse, they would try and explain why I was wrong as if it was obvious and I was subtextually just having a hard day, and would feel better in the morning.

"There is an inverse relationship between public resources and police. As resources are extracted, policing in its various forms increases, both to sustain the extraction and to manage the social insecurities that extraction causes."

Extracting Police - Stephanie Guirand & Spencer Piston - Inquest
Violent policing is not a bug of capitalist societies but a feature. To end our dependence on it, we must first understand its connection to exploitation.

The Trump regime’s secret police continue to kidnap people across the US. Here they kidnapped a PHD Student Rumeysa Ozturk in broad daylight for publishing an article last year, critical of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.
People across the US have reportedly been tortured by the regime.
