I have an ideology.

@HistoryBoomer What if I want to eliminate capitalism but increase policing 10x?

Surely that’s never been tried.

@AlanLevinovitz @Tyler_A_Harper It seems straightforward, although obviously not frictionless, to make exceptions for students who truly need tech for reasons of accessibility.

I wonder if it’s more about defining who actually needs it or fears of students feeling singled out.

Or others getting jealous 🤷‍♂️

This is 100% not some random Japanese guy stumbling through America. Although he did hit upon a style of writing that’s well suited to AI, the sort of formal declarative statements and tidy conclusions feel sort of Japanese even though they are mostly just AI tics.

Been interesting to watch people fawning over this post from an obvious AI slop farm. Check his timeline and you’ll find a post in this genre appearing once every 10 minutes. He got lucky with this one cuz it reads a little more genuine and compelling than others.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@BenKissling @JonahDispatch It’s AI. Look at some of his other posts, all very formulaic and clearly generated. Sometimes he gets lucky and one is a little higher quality.

Even on a non-political, non-culture war topic Dave Rubin still follows his winning formula:

Announce you don’t know what you’re talking about, then make a pointed observation that anyone who actually knows what they’re talking about can immediately refute.

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

Don’t watch much NBA anymore but watching tonight.

Do they ever run plays, like a simple pick and roll, maybe?

Or it’s just dribble as fast as you can, crash into someone and pretend to collapse as you chuck a fadeaway after traveling?

@mattlinla @feelsdesperate @HistoryBoomer What am I really?

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@statssstudent @yhdistyminen @rcmoya84

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@yhdistyminen @rcmoya84 How many times do you estimate you’ve written this response?

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@scttfrnks @feelsdesperate It’s the full package.

@HistoryBoomer I say this every time but no account is more perfectly calibrated to get deep under my skin than CAP.

The Buttigieg pic, the drippingly condescending intellectual tone, all while acting like he’s deeply in touch with the average joes.

Phone-smashingly infuriating.

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

Disagreeing with and critiquing the piece is fine but this is just not an accurate representation of Alan’s background. He basically wrote a whole book pushing back on the MAHA worldview. On Rogan he was one of the few guests to actually challenge the endless anti-woke rhetoric.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

Still insane that WIRED published a 7k word story championing MAHA pseudoscience grifters, and the main discredited method that the piece claims heals ppl is a program by a faith healer who says he “developed the ability to step into other people’s bodies" to heal them.

@TPCarney Article is from 2022, I think this attitude has faded quite a bit. Of course people still aren’t having kids.

Imagine voluntarily showing your ID to a miserable poll worker you couldn’t care less about your attempt at a political statement.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

California made it illegal to show or request photo ID to vote. You cannot show your photo ID even voluntarily!

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@SwipeWright Which way modern man?

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@justinmclachlan @WIRED What’s his documented history of covid denialism?

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@ArmandDoma It’s slopulism all the way down.

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@justinmclachlan @WIRED Would you please explain his “agenda”. I know Alan, I’m pretty familiar with his work, and I would love to understand what you specifically view as conflicts here.

[Corey Campbell @CoreyJCampbell]

@HistoryBoomer Undersells the first two seasons but I didn’t even bother trying to watch the third after reading reactions to it.
