The USAID cut might be the worse single thing a US president has ever done. It will kill more than the Afghanistan & Iraq war + downstream chaos has by at least one order of magnitude.

Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

The US vice president thinks that woman deserved to be killed.

Not even privately, just out in the open like it's not completely psychopathic. He's one of the people in those comment sections where they all gleefully watch her die, except he's the vice president...

When people say this, notice how they never mention any detail of what those deportations were like or what counts as a deportation. They want you to think it was 3 million of the same kind
Obama deported 3 million illegal immigrants during his time in office and I don’t remember a single scene like this.

Still blows my mind how many people watch bladerunner and see deckard as a hero figure, and even worse view the replicants as villains.

I hope it's just the protagonist effect

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

You say Charlie Kirk implied that stoning gay people is just, but I'm gay and he never tried to stone me.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

Agreed, although there's been a lot of political violence this year. Politicians are dead for it.

This death's main significance is how much it will upset powerful people. They will then inflict even more violence and death than they already have as revenge.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

People in the replies are doing some serious gymnastics to avoid admitting that they don't care if the Romani also die.

They are the person in a crisis who just shuts down and does nothing, i.e. the online left post-Obama.

This has the same fundamental problem all AI content companies have. If I wanted AI content, why would I consume someone else's when I can make my own? The barrier to entry is low & getting lower.

Unpleasant, ignorant and error-ridden rubbish from Jenni Russell in the Times, arguing for the "remigration" agenda of Jenrick/Lowe

Based on blocks my most unpopular opinions here are:

1. 'Pro-AI' i.e. GenAI is very useful.
2. Neutral on Zionism/anti-Zionism is usually a dogwhistle.
3. Covid is not a huge issue anymore.

2 makes sense to me, but it's wild to me that 1 & 3 are controversial here.
