I'm online so I'll say it: @runbutton.bsky.social is good.

If you ever feel like listening to cool people talk while watching them play video games then you're not weird! It's okay if you like that and you'll like Run Button!

You can even quote me on that

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine them happy.

having thought about this for three days, my current status is:

what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · Aug 16

this makes me suspect that one of the routes that AI companies are aiming at is targeting young people. anything that existed when you were a kid feels normal and indispensable. especially if you always used AI to write all your essays for you. and to comfort you when your parents were arguing.

“Don’t ask for things to improve. Don’t ask me to change. Don’t ask to abolish slavery. Don’t ask for civil rights. Don’t ask for marriage between the same sex. That’s not where I am. You have to meet me where I am. You’re not allowed to criticize or cajole, or ask me to introspect.

Just shut up!”

That’s why shitty people choose the far right. They don’t judge you for being shitty! If you’ve got that bigot in you? They want to sniff it out. And they’ll try to use you and praise you like a good dog.

Progressives want people to be better. They make shitty people feel shame. So they get shhh’d.
