@oriwa_ Fries are not made to order - it would be pretty difficult and tedious to make individual-serving-sized amounts of fries all the time

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

3000+ words that at no point address why the average person doesn't like abolition as a concept.

Plus the obligatory, ever-present "prisons are actually revolutionary when we do them"

[Red Star DSA @redstarcaucus]

NPC member, @hdizz___, makes the Marxist case for abolition against the left’s growing accommodation to policing and prisons.

Nobody wants to acknowledge that Bite the Pain is actually Death's best song

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

@black12020 @asphaltsami @BmoreOrganized "should" is a word completely foreign to science and materialism. As is "humane".

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

@bigboimorono @shyavoidantdeer @leftwick20 It is really funny to immediately move the goalposts in reply to a post about goalpost moving

A non-vegan burger uses ~300,000 AI prompts of water actually. A vegan burger uses 99% less

@xwanyex Or you could be materialist about it and say that people's moral judgments about slavery have always been downstream of whether it's profitable for them. Slavery didn't emerge because people decided it was ok, they decided it was ok because they could do it

Also worth noting that literally only 1 current member of the CC is running for re-election. Seems like the unhealthy leadership dynamics that led me to leave were being felt by more than just me!

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

I left my DSA chapter some months ago and still got a ballot to vote for my chapter's CC. Seems like not great infosec

@lthlnkso @hollowearthterf Healthcare is the industry, IT is the occupation. Every job is an occupation (what YOU do) and an industry (what the company does).

@PWHL__Calgary Most people are not aware of how polarized some are against AI art. To most people it’s just a cool tool.

I’m a progressive and have 0 problem with it.

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

Waymo's issue is that we see every minor problem it causes but never see what would've happened if a human driver were there instead

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

@morallawwithin Vegetarian but have been vegan. I try to buy certified humane eggs and soy milk.

The debate in a nutshell

[Eliezer Yudkowsky @allTheYud]

On reflection, $10,000 continues to seem to me like a fair price for a debate with someone who claims to offer good faith. I may take sterner measures to enforce it.

I want to live in a society with some non-credentialist pathways to debating public figures.

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

@aswren That does sound like a hard problem. Maybe we could even call it The Hard Problem of consciousness

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

The potential existence of intelligent life on other planets also poses MAJOR challenges to Christian soteriology.

[anthony guerin @RPO_SHAVO]

Christianity seems to me to be committed to viewing certain future possibilities as impossible.

For instance, I'm not sure how a mass human extinction event can fit in with a Christian metaphysics

[Katie | GO HUNTERS 🦅💚 @ukulele_katie]

Perhaps attendance would be better if the only trains out of Lowell after the game weren’t at 9:50 (not enough time to walk from Tsongas) or 11:50 (2+ hours after end of game)

@MBTA please please pleeeeeeeease offer more frequent commuter rail service for us car free Fleet fans

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

.@AOC responds to this trend: "BOOOOO"

"This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together. And I think that the discourse around 'Everyone, let's all be like billionaires and opt out of our taxes,' I don't find it an inspiring message."

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

New: Tax cuts are the HOTTEST new idea for Democrats

Booker & Van Hollen (both 2028 prospects) unveil big tax-cut plans.

Katie Porter says exempt $100K in income from California taxes.

Keisha Lance Bottoms says exempt teachers from Georgia taxes.

Pitched as answer to cost-of-living struggles.

BUT: It has spurred a “wonk revolt” from liberal and moderate policy experts. The latter say the math won’t add up. The former say treating taxes as a punishment undermines the pursuit of a safety net.
