Randomly caught an episode of ER last night. Dr Greene being paranoid, Benton and Carter bickering, Mariska Hargitay being criminally underused - oddly like catching up with old friends.

Trump is trying to run away from Project 2025. Says he doesn’t know anything about, or the people behind it. That’s a lie, so let’s put him on the witness stand, shall we? My full cross-examination in the piece, link in the replies below.

I’ve seen people responding to this as though either OP is criticizing the child or as a reason to criticize “this generation.” And both of these takes are nonsense. Kids are using ChatGPT this way because this is also how adults are using it, and this is about how it is a dangerously bad tool

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

On a whim I bought some Twiglets from the UK section at the supermarket to see if they'd make me violent. On trying them and realising I spent money when I have perfectly good dirt at home, there is a distinct possibility that they will.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.

Living under authoritarian regimes is both relatively boring and normal AND incredibly corrosive to the human soul. These things can absolutely co-exist. This is why everyone needs to resist authoritarians, even people who privately assume they’ll be just fine.

Friendly reminder that Ronald Reagan was called senile so often it became a running gag on SNL and the late night shows. He then won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 election.
