I don't reject the premise that we should always prepare for worst outcomes or people trying to force a worst outcome. But the worst that can happen is that people who don't understand what other people do will fire them and then have to rehire them when the house of cards collapses.

Yes, jobs that involve a SINGULAR SKILL with predictable deliverables are most at risk. Say, technical writing. But most white collar jobs are more complicated. The human JOB is to bring all those processes and tasks together. This has been true thru the rise of phones, internet, apps, etc.

Of course media people are the most alarmed. Because media generates content and that is also 95% of A.I. hype. A.I. also can't replace media people because consumers care as much or more about WHO is saying things as WHAT is being said. Even at its best, A.I. is all what.

A.I. can and will be used as an excuse to cut labor but it can't actually DO white collar jobs. I've had SO many hats in the white collar world over decades--Many tedious where tech, even A.I. might help. But white collar work is mostly nothing like A.I.

Consider a city: A vastly complex pattern of human invention, improvisation, accident; Comprised of people, objects, actions, et al. Cities are impossible for one person to fully comprehend or predict. Yet, cities don't have literal selfhood. That would be a categorical misunderstanding of self.

I bellow a war cry of “nom nom motherfucker” and then tilt my head 90 degrees to my spine and balance my phone on my belly while I tap my thumbs at my screen for 30 seconds. The battle won, for now, I retire to my ennui waterfall of cat videos.

The existence of Freedom Dollars implies that other forms of dollars undermine freedom. This is a psy op against capitalism. To quote Run the Jewels, “look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar.”

Stories like these are why I was so appalled during the Biden administration to see “moderates” shrug off genocide like it’s some unwieldy highway project. People who claw at ”centrism” on genocide and fascism are the real extremists. They must be replaced.

The Minnesota protests reveal a large community willing to think outside of themselves. It would be helpful if the political consultant class could remember that a lot of people don’t want anyone of any identity to be treated inhumanely.

I hate that the fight against oppression even has to be sold as “this could even happen to you” instead of simply “this is already happening to someone somewhere.”

In 2020, JLo performed a pole dance in direct reference to her sex work movie Hustlers. If we weren’t living in an era of overt xenophobia and racism, 2020‘s “normalize sex work” might be an even bolder take than 2026’s message of “I love my community.”
