Dialectics is knowing its cope to look at the gilded cage the ruling class has built for itself and be filled with disgust and pity, while simultaneously knowing that they're all visibly miserable and desperate, never knowing love or kinship with other humans despite all their power and wealth.

Every night I dream of some form homelessness, usually consisting of an endless search for an abandoned building to live in. It's very depressing. But every night, Elon Musk dreams of being popular, funny and his ideas successfully recreating slavery in space, so I -honestly- could have it worse.

Hey... I don't wanna tell you your job, but if my organization existed for the sole purpose of indoctrinating the masses with cultural hegemonic principles of self-deprecation and self-destruction for the benefit of a perverted, anti-human ruling class... I'd play these cards way closer to my chest.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The worst part is, slavery is still very much a real thing ie. Prison labour and literal generational slavery in the global south in multinational mines/manufacturing. But it will never be enough. The ruling class is a cancerous tumour on our entire species.

Your kids and grandkids will never know clean air or water or a world without war because .1% of the world are still super pissed off about their slaves being freed.

The true level of biological and chemical devastation that the Oil and Gas industry have done to the planet has barely begun to show. Orphaned wells poisoning millions is just the beginning. We'll double down ignoring it because of hubris; we cannot take responsibility for killing everything.

"The flooded wells are evidence that brine is 'migrating' underground through crooks and crannies in the rock... Complicating matters, as many as 66,000 undocumented, old-fashioned oil and gas wells pockmark Ohio, according to state estimates."

Jk Rowling: centaurs are very proud creatures. One would never dare to ask to ride one. That is, if one valued their LIFE….. Interviewer: that’s so interesting. Now tell me a bit about Chinese wizards Jk Rowling, pulling back her eyes:

chopping it up with the transphobes before the Fire-Fever game on Friday really hammered this home: they want to endlessly "debate" abstract gender concepts because they have absolutely no way to implement any kind of sports-gender policy that doesn't require a whole lot of child genital inspection

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The entire American political structure, the most powerful entity on the planet... is premised entirely on trying to destroy people who think we should take care of the sick and poor, and half the world's population. Which I think is pretty cool and normal!

Pretty sure it's still a very specific political organization created explicitly to launder propaganda for an apartheid ethnostate illegally occupying and razing Palestine that is on record literally bankroling fascism in America... But your description of them is ok too, I guess?

There are exactly zero industries where "AI" is delivering on the promises made by the people selling AI. The exact opposite is true, though. The amount of human intervention required to validate the hallucinations of AI is being ignored by our governments and media or anyone that could stop this.

Dont know how many times I had to say “hey you know how llms can string the wrong words together (‘hallucinate’ ugh) because it is autocomplete? Alphafold does the same shit with protein structures” Thinking you can get real analysis out of it is stupid

AlphaFold was always bait-and-switch; now Google confirms it. A hyper-narrow bioinformatrics model with actual science bolted on whose guesses can be experimentally checked was never a licence for socially-applied slop at scale, but it's done its job. Effort transferred to LLMs.

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …
