So I think maybe some of them understand this and possibly it is the point. This is a bit conspiratorial but user posted content has gotten the narrative entirely out of the hands of oligarchs. I think maybe the latest genocide has made them realize just how far out it is.
what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this
everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse

Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

I had to block a bunch of people the other day who were advocating for "student as consumers" type stuff, basically arguing against well-rounded degrees in favor of only having to learn what's strictly necessary for your job:
It is important to society that you're sometimes not a consumer.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

If you'd told me ten years ago that Disney was gonna distribute content made by internet randos using their trademarked characters under the Disney brand, I'd have laughed my whole ass off.
Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

There are some parents who genuinely think if their child does not perform to the specifications they desire they should be able to return them to the store.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

The thing that will always stay with me is, how people sit next to Elon Musk and let him lie, for minutes on end, and refuse to challenge him on anything.

This chain of logic is a vicious circle. The underlying issue is that even if non job critical courses were removed from all curriculums, the cost would not decrease because it isn't smart business to charge people less when they've demonstrated they're willing to pay more.
If I’m not a customer then why do I pay so much? I’m definitely a customer and as a customer I have certain expectations for the service rendered.
YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT YOUR CUSTOMERS.

It is a running joke of almost all creatives that we have a graveyard of concepts that we thought of, wrote down to work on later, and know we probably will never execute simply because there will not be enough time to try to realize more than maybe 10% of our 'ideas'.
Most artists are brimming with ideas. Ideas are easy.
The actual work of creation is harder.
But it's also the satisfying part. The fun part.

Vaccines and baby formula are probably the two biggest game changers for infant mortality. It isn't an accident he's attacking both. Culling the weak is a core principle of eugenics. He wants more dead babies. I know that sounds insane, but just look at what he does.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

A bad economy is good for rich people if they can keep the poors from getting mad enough about it. The bust part of the boom and bust is when they consolidate power.

Cass and a co-author have a really telling passage in a recent article where they draw an analogy between cigarette sales and puberty blockers! It's wild.
