Meddling ANTIFAscist woke moralist with pronouns and everything (he/him). YouTuber sometimes. Views expressed are my own. AI Slop accounts will be blocked. Dog Bless.

Okay yeah, I'm back to complain about AI more. Just heard an ad targeting photographers like "AI is coming for our jobs, but everyone else is using it so the only way to keep up is to use it too!" jfc do any of these people have souls? This is obvious supply side desperation. Don't fall for it.

Every other progressive candidate should drop out and support Fry. He's got the best chance to defeat Sim, the others need to put their egos aside and take one for the team. The colloquial team, not TEAM.

I saw a video saying that ~30% of American Jews have more sympathy towards Palestinians than Israelis currently. I’m trying to find the source but can only find this poll, which doesn’t include information specific to American Jews. Can you help me?

Israelis no longer lead the Palestinians in Americans' sympathies, with independents' shift toward the Palestinians driving most of the change.

Do tech billionaires understand how much we all hate them? Like I want to assume that they know, but based on how out of touch and megalomaniacal they are, I'm realizing they might actually be oblivious to the fact that their death days are going to become international holidays.

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

Sam Altman: cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Part of the problem that many liberal Zionists have not fully dealt with is that if "liberal Zionism" means anything, it has to mean full support for a two-state solution, which puts you in opposition not just to Netanyahu, but to every Israeli political party except Hadash and the Arab parties.

also, if your proposed alternative to protesting is to “make clear that we stand with Israelis like former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid” who all oppose a Palestinian state, describing yourself as a liberal Zionist is just window dressing

After tomorrow, I am taking a social media break. I'll be back in September unless there's something urgent I need to uplift. Tomorrow, I will spend the morning on here sharing some teacher supply list. I hope that those who can support will.

Frustrating af how you can’t meet people where they’re at to encourage organizing without someone popping out of a trash can like “WE CAN’T VOTE OUR WAY OUT—“ it’s the waffles and pancakes of political action. Is kneecapping mutual aid and connection efforts is gonna get more people throwing bricks?
