I'm being glib here but I'm actually very serious about this.
I'm tired of every part of culture being about competition. Everything framed in terms of winners and losers, as though life is zero sum.
It isn't. We make everything better when we see peers and friends, not enemies.

I am not in competition with anyone.
always baffles me when I see “but writers/creatives/etc. HAVE to use AI to remain competitive!”
besides AI writing being worse, there’s no evidence it gives any real advantage over not using it. you’d still have to fix all its screw ups, which takes time you could use to do it right the first time.

Tying mutual aid to the state and politicians is in fact how we got into this mess in the first place! The point of mutual aid is replacing the logics of state and market not just tying them back to the state!!! We cannot be doing this again!!!!

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

This is a textbook example of how the anti/trans hate machine works. Create pretext to “justify” the hate, then attack using a far-right, media-enabled dogpile.
No shit trans women are, generally speaking, broke: we’re being purged from (visible) society as I’m typing these words out.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
