A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

I realize these are all things that sex workers have told us and could tell us better. Consumer-facing AI is basically a sex worker so of course it’s personalizing various iterations of financial domination for men because that’s what they want.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

It's really, genuinely difficult to put yourself in the headspace of the average disconnected, not-paying-attention voter if you know things. It's notoriously difficult for people who know about things to imagine the world from the perspective of people who don't!

Humans: "I would like to go get food, get to work or school, and have a little fun now and then." The society humans built: "Sure thing. That will cost you $12,000 a year and you can only do it if you're above a certain age and physically capable of operating heavy machinery."

If you want to know why the U.S. is so accepting of death and unwilling to question the downsides of new technology pushed on us, this attitude is a pretty good place to start. "So what if cars came along and killed lots of people? They represented progress and progress for progress's sake is good."

Also: the reaction of Dem senators to Graham's death helps illustrated a point I've made many times, which is that the people closest to the creeping rise of fascism understand it *least*. Being in "the room where it happens" does not give you insight, it blinds you.
