Neutrality is for the weak. Nuance is for the strong

now a deleted post, but this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

It’s not performative to adjust ur opinion based off newfound information 😭 that’s just being a functioning human

@GammaXene @IlyasCigarette It’s not just about what the author intends, though. Even if the author didn’t put much thought into a choice, that doesn’t mean that choice can’t affect the overall mood of a scene.

"During the incident, an ICE officer discharged his weapon and the criminal illegal alien was injured" is about as pure an example of what Orwell called newspeak as you're going to find.

@MediumBuying This is EXACTLY how Democrats should be responding to attack ads

[Medium Buying @MediumBuying]

#OHSen: Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) is up on TV with this response/contrast spot --

Male voiceover:

"Seen these ads? They're a complete lie. Records show not only is this woman actually from Texas, she didn't have any surgery as a minor"

"But, Jon Husted? He protected men who abused young girls by voting in the Senate to block the release of the Epstein files"

[Morgan Fischer @morgfisch]

Democrat congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was hit over the head and raped in Maricopa County while repairing a damaged campaign sign in August.

"I need to let women know that it's okay to talk about it," she told me.

@sama You mean all the actual humans whose life's work is being extracted without consent to feed your slop machines? RIP Aaron Swartz, and a curse upon Sam Altman for stealing our collective intellectual property to enrich the worst people on the planet.

I do wish people understood that the prose is everything. There is no story “beneath” the prose. Cartesian dualism does not exist for books. There is no distinct soul of a book that can be separated from the body its prose. The experience of reading the language IS the novel.

One of the more disturbing elements of the world of Fahrenheit 451 is that the classics still exist, they’ve just been wholly rewritten to remove anything that makes them interesting or challenging. Our addiction to a fully frictionless existence is going to kill us.

“Letting gay people get married is against OUR liberty to tell them they can’t”

Fuckin ludicrous. Y’all wonder why churches are getting emptier. Stop preaching hate

Shot and chaser. @VivekGRamaswamy really does have his best advocates out on the campaign trail and making the case

[onion person @CantEverDie]

literally soft launching cancelling elections and ending democracy

I think people would have reacted to the railroad very differently if Cornelius Vanderbilt kept saying the trains are alive and want to kill you.

@BrandyLJensen Is there nobody in AI who wants more out of life than to become a mindless productivity machine?

@XiJinpingThot69 @donotdelay @kleeposting What exactly do you mean by this, specifically “well developed appearance/reality distinctions?” I’m genuinely curious
