Abusive parents blaming therapists for kids cutting ties is just an evolution of abusive husbands blaming therapists for wives divorcing their asses. The epidemic is dogshit people hiding behind the title of "parent" finally being called dogshit people

When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour.

The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybkylffhwhn2an2ic2lxh76k/bafkreifpdv74ajtas7sepr67o7cd5g2er47mv23tpoll2ddie7ri44wjge)

There's a telling story about Tucker Carlson's break in television. He was working in print and a CBS booker came looking for someone to talk about the OJ Simpson trial. Knowing nothing about the trial, he went and did the segment anyway. He doesn't have beliefs. He has viewers.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.
