Time for us to go rural?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it’s pretty grim.

The “data” I’m using is:
- masked brown shirts taking over cities and harrassing brown folks
- economy not great for poor folks
- Democratic Party approval lower than Trump approval

So, you might be right, but … my gut says, “no”.

I don’t think your idea of a “hardline” platform can ever win, though, because the confederates are still fighting the last Civil War. Even if the MAGAfied poor people believe it’s a class war, they’ve proven they’ll vote against their self interest to “own the woke libs” or harm POC.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Republic has failed. Whatever comes next, I don’t know. But the idea that somehow the democrats are going to win another election and steer us back to normalcy is a fantasy.

Nazi tattoo seems like a pretty good way to self-define as a Nazi.

I might insert a few more adjectives between "bunch of" and "white supremacists", but I don't disagree.

Inflation is to 2024 what economic anxiety was to 2016. Nearly 70% disapprove of Trump on inflation, yet his overall disapproval is just 43% about the same as on immigration.

His base cares less about the economy than mass deportations; they’ll happily suffer so long as immigrants suffer more.

Live translation actually works. A bit clunky, but it’s a v1. Can’t wait to see where this leads.

It would almost be funny if it weren’t scary.

bikes / pedestrians > mass transit > EVs > ICE

Let’s invest in the first two and ignore the last two.

Dude, don’t forget … Travis Kalanick is discovering new physics using LLMs. Hawking’s gonna be so jealous.

Deal! I’ll be sure to bring all my cognitive biases and unleash them.

What you’re saying is complete nonsense.

I’m sure they had SaaS margins, right? RIGHT!?!?

Give us the ALL CAPS X cross-posts over here on Bluesky.

I believe it.

But in all honestly, my world would be much less enjoyable w/o my ND homies.

In fairness, I’m probably biased, and likely past the midpoint on at least 2 spectrums.

My main complaint is that these posts aren’t all cross-posted to Bluesky. I only see the ones you share.

Maybe I have a tech bias, but I’m over here like … why the focus on “curing” autism? Software industry would collapse without autists.

How about Asthma? Or Alzheimer’s? Or ALS? Or Alpha Gal? Arthritis? Autoimmune disorders? These are just the ‘A’s.
