Patience is a Gun
On a road a pellet in a pond
Imbecile to king
Not the one you think
I see nothing
I hope it can feel seen
Undo a row alone
Stamped to travel
Son you're not from 'round here
Mulch
Gravel crunching boots
A tunnel
Hunting for the future
Bleeding at your feet

Why, one might ask, does the American Right adopt aesthetics & forms of fascism if American socialism is so nascent? Here you go:
"in the right wing imagination there is a strong threatening socialism in the United States, it’s just what they call any manifestation of basic, multi-racial democracy"

Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

When you design a chatbot to be your pal, hype you up, it will do so. It will do so. It will say anything to keep you using it. And neither the bot nor the company that made it give a shit about the harm being done. They're making money, and that's all that matters.
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Homelessness in the U.S. is far more pervasive than the official figures suggest: roughly four million people are without housing right now.
Many are part of the low-wage labor force, powering the very economy that has abandoned them.
