Who's actually pushing violence? It's Trump, writes @maggieastor.bsky.social in this great NYT takedown of Kevin Roberts' "second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”"

The fundamental problem is that we simply didn’t evolve to be able to communicate with each other on this scale.

The Supreme Court just overthrew the country and I’m still seeing headlines that are like “did you know Joe Biden is like, months older than his opponent?”

It's hard to even imagine the limits of the power that SCOTUS has just handed the president. If you can keep 34 senators and the military on your side, you can do anything.

Meanwhile, NYT has NEVER reported on the suspected Egyptian payment to Trump in 2016, much less the new news that there's a Chinese link.

A lot of white progressives think there's a control panel for black voters hidden in the DNC HQ somewhere & if they could just crash through the doors they'd definitely find the button that makes black people like them.

anyway I can’t think of any way that unceremoniously ejecting the incumbent Dem president from the ticket, four months before the election, with no agreement on a successor, no process to pick one, and most people pushing the idea assuming it WON’T be the vice presidents, could possibly backfire

perfect analogy. NYT can't watch a single day before pumping out a histrionic take. Bonus: it is sure to be ignored by the ostensible target and paraded around by the existential threat we are theoretically facing. For good measure, it might alter the dynamic it purports to be describing.

I think you are projecting your prior assumptions here. I went in expecting his performance to be the disaster everyone was saying it was and it was just…not very good I guess.

He was raspy and low energy but he was generally coherent and on topic. This is devastating in a game where having a studio light shone at you the wrong way can lose you a debate, but most of the people freaking out were already primed to do so.

this illustrates why I think they actually need to just get Biden on TV all the time right now this version of him isn't as smooth as he used to be but it's totally fine - he's there, he's engaged, he can do the job "I had a cold, lemme tell some self deprecating jokes and shit on Trump"

I’ve always maintained that one possibility is that the allies just fumble the bag somehow. They did that a lot at the start of the war, so it’s not inconceivable that they just keep making terrible decisions until they sue for peace

I think this technology is existentially dangerous, but largely the same way the internet is: our information environment is being completely drowned in worthless sludge. The regular old internet was already doing this and AI only promises to supercharge the process.

the reason this matters to me is because reactionary anti-AI chatter is devolving into a kind of “well, the fact that it *could* be true says something about society”, when it’s like, no, man, i don’t think some crank making a YT video about brain prisons floating in space says anything at all
