“We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.”

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

this is a perfect descriptor of how Republican politicians shit on cities 24/7 and nobody cares but if a democratic politician makes a single dismissive comment about rural areas it’s a massive scandal
The standard in some corners seems to be that for voters in the 'heartland,' political correctness protects but does not bind, while for voters in cities, political correctness binds but does not protect.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?
Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
