here’s a crazy thought (supported by comparable country’s data, per these 3 charts):
perhaps to improve public services we need to improve how efficiently public funds are spent *AND* raise more in taxes *AND* invest more in public services (nb capital infrastructure projects)?

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

If the left was actively hating young white men, I feel like that's something I would have picked up on in the last twenty years or so. What I have seen though is a lot of (non-left) people telling young white men that the left hates them
I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

I think that it is deeply irresponsible for tech publications to obfuscate agency around AI systems in this way. A chat bot owned and controlled by a promoter of the white genocide conspiracy theory is promoting the white genocide theory. There’s no “can’t stop” about it.
Elon Musk’s Grok AI Can’t Stop Talking About ‘White Genocide’
In response to X user queries about everything from sports to Medicaid cuts, the xAI chatbot inserted unrelated information about “white genocide” in South Africa.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Everything fash lies about trans kids is actually true about child marriage, which impacts far far far far more minor kids, as young as 10, who legally can't even get their own divorces, and I think about this

Roughly, 16,666 minor kids get married a year vs 3,681 trans kids on HRT annually in average, with that second number being even smaller now due to the number of statewide healthcare bans that have been enacted over the last 3 years
It's a huge huge HUGE difference
