  Okay, I'm sorry, but even the stupidest person without an agenda knows a wave election is not about a desire for forgiveness and reconciliation.

  Jensen Huang seems like a shitty, stupid person, Nvidia seems like a shitty, evil company, and I frankly don't care if the Chinese were trying to "steal" American GPUs for an "AI" arms race that only exists to prop up the stock values of a handful of companies.

  I find it puzzling given its history how few people understand that democracy is class war against the aristocracy and organized religion. The fundamental tension in any democracy is between the populace and these entrenched interests imposing themselves through wealth and undue cultural influence. By the time money is treated as speech and churches can tell people who to vote for, you already lost democracy.

  "The midterms were a rejection of incivility" is such white liberal middle class bullshit. "Thanks to marginalized people for once again saving us from Trump, but don't expect to be treated any differently, and don't ask us to hold Trump and Republicans accountable because that would be 'uncivil.'"

  Again, Democrats, especially establishment Democrats like Newsom, Pelosi, or Harris, are not popular with the electorate and it would be a huge mistake to interpret the election as approval or anything except "fuck Trump." Voters want blood. They don't want bipartisanship. Acting otherwise is setting up a future disaster.

  Remove Schumer and Jeffries or none of this means anything.

  RE: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:m65ifh7vn5zdgs7izcmht4gy/post/3mzgd4msbpc2r Mainstream Democrats always think there's a Republican who would be better at the job than them.

  I love Wikipedia but I do wish they had a detail level between "high level summary" and "proxy data from Esplugafreda in northeastern Spain shows a rapid 8 °C (14 °F) temperature rise, in accordance with existing regional records of marine and terrestrial environments. In the Fushun Basin, temperatures rose from 15.6 to 19.7 °C (60.1 to 67.5 °F)."

  What, you mean capital markets actually suck at assessing value and efficiently distributing resources? Huh! Weird.

  Seriously, most of the shit trans girls go through growing up is because we DON'T absorb male socialization messages and DON'T conform to the expectations of our male peers. It's really getting it twisted to accuse us of "male socialization" when everyone hurt us for not modeling that behavior and older boys and men used sexual violence as a means of punishment and control over us.

  It's amazing how much US foreign policy is just us being sore fucking losers about stuff like Cuba few Americans today were even alive for.

  Like, it bothers me how much the Democratic Party exists only to flatter the egos of people who think "The West Wing" was real.

  It seems to me the continual need for cash infusions to make "AI" "work" and keep these companies afloat resembles a bailout more than a "build out."

  "If you pass a wealth tax, the wealthy will leave!" Yeah, they always threaten that, but then they look around and realize the rest of the country is Alabama, basically.

  Sorry, I really can't enthuse about a "blue wave" when Democrats proudly hate trans people as much as Republicans do. And like, surely, probably, they're the exception, but they're the ones who are running for office and will be in a position to do harm the next time Republicans push attack ads and Democrats think they have to run and hide or help their buddies pogrom us.

  "Looks pretty neat for a Stone Age crown," Jack said. "Quite," Jessica sighed, "Cunningham had a tendency to take mythic narratives literally and accept whatever large number was quoted as fact? Everything is a billion years old! A million! Something as fragile as the diadem never would have survived. But it doesn't matter where it came from so much as what it can do."

  "In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson." https://bsky.app/profile/jessiegender.bsky.social/post/3myfcxvp3bs2i

  I suspect "the economy" would not be such a catalyst for political unrest if the top 1% weren't hoovering up most of the wealth of each country. Seems like real basic shit to me.

  People keep having to be reminded that social media platforms are not free public spaces but corporations in the hands of mostly right-wing billionaires with an agenda.

  Insisting that women and children be "protected" from some group in the absence of any evidence of harm (e.g., trans people) is deliberately inciting violence against them.

  To exist online in 10 years, you're going to have to give a random company a face scan and photo ID and they're going to give that and everything you post to the government to spy on you for being queer, left-wing, "a criminal," or whatever. None of your data or communications will be private. The government and corporations will go through all of it. If you don't want that to happen, you should raise a stink about "age verification" right now because that's...
