  1. Is AI the true enemy, or just a convenient distraction from systemic failure?

    New piece on why moral panics around technology are often just masks for structural decay. Instead of fighting the machine, we should be auditing the foundation.

  2. You know what irks me? When bigots try to misrepresent their bigotry and hate speech as "disagreement". As if it's a philosophical difference of opinion instead of a bigoted trope that is held without reason and defended against all reason.

    Meanwhile, their hate speech meets an objective test. Specifically, the legal definition provided by the Supreme Court of Canada in R v. Keegstra and Saskatchewan v. Whatcott. They definitely meet these standards as they call to vilify transgender people and advocate for our mistreatment.

    Hate speech is not free speech. It is the antithesis of free speech as it seeks to chill free speech by chilling the voices of those targeted.

    Did you even notice the enrichment of #billionaires, #stacking of #constitional_institutions, gutting of #RTI, take over of #press and #news_media, silencing of #political_speech & #censorship of internet? This is what #sabotage of #democracy looks like.

    Here's your #ramrajya! But trust me, you won't have a place in it. And it will get much worse. But why are the rest of us being dragged along by a #majority who surrendered their #freedom to satisfy their #bigotry? #India

  9. "Jeffersons" star Sherman Hemsley never publicly discussed being homosexual, but since his death, friends and co-workers have confirmed this fact, and he has been warmly accepted as a Gay Icon by the Men's Community. 1938-2012. #shermanhemsley #gayicon #thejeffersons #allinthefamily #archiebunker #neighbor #neighbors #movingonup #eastside #drycleaner #drycleaners #homosexuality #closet #closeted #inthecloset #bigotry #homophobia #endhomophobia #idol #hero #comedian #humorous #hilarious

  14. All oppression is intersectional - cops may exist to keep Black folk in line, but they turn on you just as easily; means testing may exist to torment disabled folk, but it also means you don't get a safety net; the patriarchy may hate women, but it treats men like cattle, all the same; the IDF may kill Arab women & children, but they're happy to rape & kill white folk, too; transphobes'
    Satan is trans women, but if GNC women get discriminated against, all the better!

  15. Large Systemic Change is Necessary

    Political change is necessary. Political change is ongoing. In some places much more productively than in the US. For alternatives to be used they must first be made available. Renewable energy and electrified transport. This happens at the level of government and industry. The big money. For that, we need to elect the right people. For that we need massed public pressure. And in some countries there are no real (or even fake!) elections. It’s in everyone’s interest who cares about the future of our planet and our species and our families to push climate change back. To slow it down. And then to stop it. And then to push it back. We must stop allowing “a handful of tyrants” to “ravage the world” (quoting Pope Leo). These tyrants are not only the heads of state but also the captains of industry and the mega billionaires. We must disempower these sociopaths, narcissists, fascists, greed-heads. They lend their support to political tyrannies because it’s convenient. And then increase pressure on their workers so much that Amazon workers have to pee in bottles on their shifts. The new gilded age is here. It is time for a new progressive reformation. Before the progressive age was The Age of Enlightenment which Wikipedia describes as:

    Characterized by an emphasis on reason, empirical evidence, and the scientific method, the Enlightenment promoted ideals of individual liberty, religious tolerance, progress, and natural rights. Its thinkers advocated for constitutional government, the separation of church and state, and the application of rational principles to social and political reform. Age of Enlightenment

    Tyrants and wannabe tyrants and populist-fascists the world over are trying to drag us back to the age of monarchy. They spread their lies over the airwaves and social Media and now with AI memes. They are trying to spread it to all the world’s nations so that no one troubles them about their looting and pillaging of their populace. For natural rights, progress, reason, and constitutional government to triumph, more than ever we need logic and rational principles to be seeded and take root and grow like kudzu over the garbage that has been spread everywhere, reclaiming the land of poular consciousness.
