In 1980 I was hearing how Reagan being elected would make the people wake up and start a revolution. That bull$hit never worked, still doesn't.

With a big boost from a limp dishrag of a campaign from Mondale who walked on eggshells around Reaganism and would not challenge some pretty egregious stuff. He was going to lose anyway, he should have been outspoken.

Gosh, he did evil bad faith work for evil bad faith operators, and now they're betraying him. Oh how very, very sad. Too bad we're still stuck with the results of his vile scams.

Even if game journalism is in fact completely dishonest and rife with corruption, harassment and abuse are still not appropriate or worthy. Will block anyone I catch inciting pile ons.

"Why haven’t rural Black and Latino Americans shifted to the Republican party alongside their white peers? The question needs further study, the researchers said," What? Did I just read that?

Mysteriously the targets are all trans, mostly femme, and often Black or disabled.

Note to my vast army of followers (17) and whoever stumbles upon this: participation in pile ons or organized harassment will get you blocked. No matter how progressive you say you are, no matter how trans, no matter how "left", even if I agree with the reason for offense.

Just blocked three new follows from obviously mass produced accounts with only one post and a suspicious number of followers. Bluesky, these weak efforts should be easily detectable. Don't let this stuff metastasize!

If I'm buying a book I want it to exist in a form that has some chance of surviving into future culture. Digital media is subject to arbitrary erasure or going out of date. There's copies of digital data that no one can read anymore, and it all depends on massive technological infrastructure.

What's accelerating at an exponential rate is the crappiness of bloated, poor performing, resource hungry code. The claims of advancement are just obfuscation. Moore's law is being overwhelmed by a tide of incompetence and arrogance as ever faster computers take longer to do the same thing worse.

In addition to concerns geoengineering could backfire, I think the powers that be would just seize on it as permission to go right on recklessly burning through everything, rather than see it as buying time for solutions.

Just grifters attracting capital by appealing to the Frankensteinian urges of the ignorant rich by claiming they can create consciousness if only they can get ahold of that capital. The emperor's new AI.

This is a remarkable statement from Hillary Cass, author of the Cass Review on gender affirming care in the UK. It is essentially a return to the stone ages of trans medical care, in which trans people need to "prove" their lives are worth living. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024...

Please pardon this flier that I made in two minutes! The TRANS NERD MEET UP is this coming Saturday at @zeitgeist_sf from 12:30 until whenever. It's a super chill time for anyone who identifies as trans/nb/gnc and likes to geek out about whatever.

What carried Brexit wasn't just idiocy, but racism. They were more worried about brown skinned people fleeing the countries they were bombing than the welfare of their own nation.

Anger at the current order is pointless without some positive vision of something better. Too many online "progressives" are spewing outrage without offering any vision of a progressive future.

They insist the abuse will "build character". Whenever they say they're building character, run! So glad I don't have the "character" they had back in the day.

On that other site, if trolls were showing up in a thread, I just blocked all gif only responders, having no interest in seeing the gross stuff they'll post, even if I might block a non troll occasionally. I'll do the same here, not going to play your gif, just assume up to no good.

We have a date this May!!! The elder (who lived sometime during the 1200s in what is now Presidio County Texas) will be the first person reburied in our traditional Lipan burial ground. She is on my maternal line, via mitochondrial DNA; she lived so long ago, it’s hard to fathom.

The word 'white' tells you everything you need to know. It's racism, plain and simple. So when are they putting out a piece explaining patiently about Black rage? Like never.
