Star Wars, Gamer, and Politics. Left, tweets about both Cdn and US politics. Plays Diablo, has cat. Episode 8 doesn't exist to me. Find me at @kimkimh otherspot
I see this type of tweet regularly now. My suspicion is that it's emblematic of the fact that many people globally are struggling with the notion that although societal non-pharmaceutical interventions for Covid-19 are long gone, something is still very off.
It's the virus.
Further to my tweet this morning here is the survey evidence of how far goverment is failing to meet public desire for much stronger oversight and regulation of AI. Note that fully 1% don't think they should be made aware of AI generated content . Massive majority want it banned from political campaigns. And yet.....
I find it so bizarre that people think it’s more important to be shielded from the thought of bad things than to be given the tools to deal with them.
The pandemic response has been all about shielding people from anxiety rather than protecting them from a harmful virus.
Love how these losers are always the hero in their own delusional movie and it never occurs to them how narcissistic it comes across. Main character syndrome + misinformation.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
