when i'm in a particularly bad mood, i'm reminded that public relations speech functions much as cult speech: available language is reduced in order to trap you within certain ideological claims and culture has thus far accepted the tech bro cult's terms

i will never stop being furious at large language models being successfully branded as "artificial intelligence" they're not conscious & functionally can't be; they don't "hallucinate," they fail to generate appropriate outputs

in every letter or call i write or make about palestine, KOSA, trans rights, or the supreme court, i ask democrats to make an affirmative case for themselves (phrase lifted from @gothamgirlblue.com) instead of just saying, βlesser evil!β then shrinking that gap as much as possible.

Happy 4th of July to four of my favorite Americans. The United States is built on & perpetuates itself with stolen land, genocide, imperialism, & human slavery. We outnumber the oligarchy, demand nothing less than total liberation. None of us is free until all of us is free.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

the priority becomes avoiding Unjust Forgiveness by obsessing over the apology. conversely, there're the folks who will jump immediately to Forgiving on behalf of, or entirely ignoring, actually aggrieved parties b/c being Forgiving makes you a Good Person it's all weird holier-than-thou posturing

i think the fixation on The Perfect Apology comes from the fact that there isn't a prevailing social script for more complex forms of repairing social bonds & making amends over time. there's just this reflexive assumption that you Apologize Correctly & then Receive Forgiveness
