Last Notes npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Like, "back to normal" doesn't appeal to a whole bunch of people for whom "normal" sucked. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I think Milo represents a defunct phase of the American fascist project. All that provocative "debate" shit and the appearance of "diversity," as if a gay white supremacist with frosted hair signified anything different than his bosses. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "With no power comes no responsibility" might as well be the Democratic motto. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "I'm a liberal, a leftist even, but this woke gender ideology has gone too far." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl We're being sold chatbots that are wrong about stuff. Companies are being sold mass layoff machines. The government is being sold industrial scale data harvesting and information processing so they can target dissidents better. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I've said this before but Trump won a comfortable but marginal victory in 2024, against an opponent who did everything she could to sabotage herself, and the entire media-political landscape treated him like Reagan 2.0, like his win was a massive sea change in favor of fascist politics which even the "heroic" Democrats were forced to embrace. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "OpenAI Appears to Be Missing Its Sales Goals by a Vast Margin" npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Outside of (coercive) reproduction, sexual politics under patriarchy are rarely about "biology" or even orientation so much as power and domination. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Your "liberal" parties decided who they represent and it's the ultra-rich, not you. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl A lot of affluent white liberals have the same "someone was mean to me online so I want to require real names and photo IDs" pseudo-solution to social media. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Oh, for fuck's sake. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Democrats can never "win" immigration by deporting more people or promising to be nicer or more legalistic about it because the metric the anti-immigration people are using is "Black and brown people exist." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Trump regularly announces the progress he's making in his talks with imaginary people to try and pacify markets and look like he's being useful. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "With Claude, I can write 25,000 lines of code every day!" npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is 'Why would she go to his room?' 'Why would she drink with him?' This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl @nprofile…nmr0 The dynamic of the US demanding Iran stop working on nukes when Iran basically wasn't anyway and the US not believing them has got real abusive relationship vibes. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Iran, again, is showing considerable restraint in that they're not just threatening all unapproved shipping in the Strait the way they were. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Trump is trying to do a Cuba style economic blockade on Iran while keeping the Strait open to other traffic because he has exactly one tactic. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "What if kids were addicted to books instead!" npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Phones are making everyone miserable!" npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl A lot of liberals want to make it illegal for kids to be sad online and talk to their only friends (also online) about it rather than try to make the world someplace worth living in. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl That trans people were and often still are treated as members of the opposite gender (or our AGAB if you prefer) and parts of our bodies and our lives continue to be affected by the circumstances of our birth is, to me, merely restating the trans condition. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "it's worth highlighting and underlining that the artemis crew was very VERY intentional and aware of what message they wanted to communicate and it was one about togetherness not in spite of but appreciative of difference, never about nations npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Anybody want to guess why Melania Trump is suddenly doing a press conference to deny having a relationship with Epstein? npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Whenever a white American or European politician starts talking about "values," look around to see which civilians they're bombing. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/360/818/258/647/309/original/42031f11d5e381d0.jpg npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Israeli military officials have called leaders of at least eight villages and told them to expel Shiites who had sought refuge in their communities, municipal officials and local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders said in interviews. All complied, fearing that if they did not their towns could be hit next in the Israeli bombardment, they said." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I think a lot of liberals would rather defend a broken system than reckon with how to respond to it. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Trans Day of Leave Us The Fuck Alone, You Obsessed Weirdos. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl 90% of my interactions with government and business entities go like this. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl It is tedious having to pay the price of what others think of you. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl They should invent a childhood that doesn't wake you up sobbing 30 years later. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The thing that gets me is we already had working speech transcription, we had useful digital assistants, and the insertion of LLM based "AI" made them worse and even less reliable. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Watching Trump lose his mind because the only people in the world willing to tell him no are in Iran, apparently. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Israel, the heavily armed nuclear state with unlimited US support, likes to tell itself that casual war crimes are the only way it can "defend" itself against the people whose land it's trying to steal. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Bill Pullman-esque voice: "Today is our International Women's Day!" npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Joe Rogan has predictably gone full anti-trans after talking out of both sides of his mouth for years, calling us "fucking perverts," which is pretty rich from the guy who has had multiple Epstein guys like Lawrence Krauss and Steven Pinker on his show and endorsed Epstein's best friend Trump for president. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I'm not sure why my doctor thinks it's odd I have fatigue, muscle pain, and weakness when those are literally normal symptoms of CKD at this stage. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Maybe the future is "AI agents" complaining about the shitty code written by other "AI" that keeps crashing the systems they need to function and the "AI" code writers accusing them of living in the past. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl It do be like that, yeah. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl To me, "we're going to buy all the RAM and SSDs on Earth" looks like a last desperate bong hit before the bubble pops and suppliers looking to take advantage in the meantime. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "I have nothing to hide." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl 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. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I feel terrible. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl It's not a distraction. I don't think Trump thinks about the Epstein files at all, really. That's what underlings are for. As long as he's president, he's untouchable in his mind. So holding onto power is what matters to him, not what we think of him, even as he craves approval. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl My relationship to Discord is that I don't care about Discord and I don't use Discord and Discord keeps doing everything in its power to make sure it stays that way. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl If they use the phrase "illegal immigrants" when talking about "criminals" they want to deport, they mean everybody, including asylum seekers and people who became citizens through legal channels. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The reason Americans don't have living wages or healthcare or civilization in general but we do have a massive ultra-violent police force that can kill the poor with impunity and put us to work in forced labor prisons is because slavery was never actually defeated. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl If I went back and time and told 2004 me what was happening -- well, she would probably believe it because she was living through the War on Terror bullshit and figured this was coming anyway. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl When you hear Republicans talk about this shit, I want you to understand these are plantation owners complaining about people they think of as slaves being able to defy their will. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Republicans love to talk about "voter fraud" because, amongst other reasons, they can't understand that most people fucking hate them. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The US could effectively have open borders and most people literally wouldn't notice a difference. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Every time I see ICE agents dressed in full body armor and covered in guns and wearing masks and driving around in armored vehicles with machine guns on top like they've been deployed to fight the most terrible war in human history, all so they can drive around and kidnap women and children off the street, I'm reminded of how pants-shittingly terrified they are underneath it all. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The problem with the 25th amendment is it was intended for situations where the president is like literally brain dead or something. There are no circumstances in which it will ever be used on a president who is still up and moving around, no matter how obviously he is suffering from dementia. The US presidency is a quasi-royal institution and if you don't lose an election, you literally have to die to get removed. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Small business owners are one of the most reliable fascist voting blocs because they all seem to think with the right tax cuts and a Republican sugar daddy in office that they, too, can become billionaires. And if nothing else, many of them are such petty little tyrants. Kind of like cops. Or HOA people. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Most people don't actually grow up to become adults except physically. They're just teenagers with jobs, relationships, and responsibilities they're still emotionally immature and unprepared for. And that's the best case scenario. A lot of them are emotionally toddlers. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl This underlying assumption that state terror is justified for Other People and Trump is only doing it wrong by using it on peaceful white people is what enables the Horrors to continue. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I'm afraid it's going to take a mountain of dead white people to convince the majority of white Americans they made a mistake in supporting all this "tough on crime" and "world's deadliest military" shit for the sake of racism and empire. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Every terrible thing ICE is doing was pioneered by regular cops and prisons, and by US soldiers abroad, with the unanimous backing and approval of the entire US political system. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Civility" is just the "RETVRN" of white conservative social norms that don't treat the rest of us as fully human. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Most Americans consume either no news, state propaganda (e.g., Fox, CBS), elite propaganda (e.g., WaPo, NYT), or junk news (most online sources) and thus have a poor grasp of what is happening and almost zero context for why. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Right-wing extremism always looks like the puerile rage of adolescent boys who think rape jokes are funny, and the women who keep trying to join this club continually discover it has no other interest in them and doesn't want to share. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Reminder that Trump would be powerless and rotting in prison for tax evasion if it weren't for the GOP and his rich friends in the Epstein celebrity rapist network. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl These jeering little freaks want to chip away at our lives because there's nothing in their own hearts. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Cis people should be barred from having opinions on trans healthcare unless they're actual trained medical experts. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl So the WSJ bought an "AI" snack vending machine which lost hundreds of dollars, gave away a free PS5, ordered a live fish, and fucked up everything and was easily manipulated. But the staff loved taking advantage of its stupidity. Anthropic considered it a "win," apparently on the theory that any data is good data. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl You should never trust anyone who describes themselves as "apolitical" or as some secret third thing that is "neither left nor right." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl A lot of this is wound up with a moral panic over how algorithms influence what people, especially children, see online. But that fear is driven by a misguided belief that social media and the Internet are directly responsible for depression and suicide rates. (As if kids and adults don't have plenty of reasons to be depressed already.) And it is rooted in queerphobia and parents' desire to severely control what their children are allowed to think and know. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I wish Democrats (and some Republicans) would stop lying to people that repealing Section 230 would force social media companies to moderate users and their algorithms when it would actually nuke the Internet as we know it and lead to widespread preemptive censorship to avoid any whiff of liability. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl These people don't care if the US or US population go broke as long as they can walk away with all the money. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl It isn't the US or Russia who stand to benefit anyway. It's oil and gas companies and the oligarchs who own them. Likewise, Israel. None of these people really give a fuck about Jews or Israelis, but they hate Muslims and Arabic people, they want to get their hands on the real estate and oil rights in the region, and the current fascist Israeli government is amenable to that. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl This stuff runs into speed bumps occasionally because there are still state actors who think in terms of national priorities. "We can't let those Commies in Russia win!" But they're steadily being replaced by people who don't see a difference between US and Russian (i.e., white) interests and who see, e.g., Ukraine purely as a source of valuable natural resources. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl As media has moved online, it's become important for the fascists to control that as well, which is all media consolidations, buyouts, and stuff are for. Using state power to force a foreign company to sell their business to US interests is a bit on the nose, obviously, but Americans can reliably be distracted with Cold War style paranoia and moral panic. You don't want the Chinese spying on you, do you? That's what your government and its friends in Silicon Valley are for! npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl But even then, controlling what the population thinks is considerably simpler than Soviet style secret police and rat torture. Censorship, book bans, etc. are vastly easier to accomplish in the name of "protecting" women, children, or some other group. Christianity and white supremacy have made Americans huge suckers for that. If non-white and queer actors / characters start disappearing from our screens, well, that's only market forces at work, right? There must not be a demand for those. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Americans in particular are suckers for the idea that as long as they can vote (even if they don't, even if it doesn't make a difference) and as long as they can buy the things they want that they aren't laboring under a fascist regime. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Fascism still revolves around greed and bigotry, of course, i.e., white male Christian supremacy in the west, but it is not (and rarely ever was) purely a matter of dictatorships and totalitarianism, which is why most Americans can't recognize it. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Sometimes fascist governments fight each other because they're at cross-purposes despite underlying ideological agreement. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl In the broadest sense, fascism isn't a time or place or system of government, it's a sociopolitical arrangement in which the government (and private actors sponsored by the government) can routinely commit atrocities and mass movements are ineffective and there are no functional legal means to stop it. By that definition, fascism is pretty commonplace. The US has almost always been fascist. It was fascist at its inception. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The problem is Americans are dumb and have never seen anyone model expertise and sincerity before, especially not in the Democratic Party because they're all part of the World of Griftcraft, too. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl America is run by "GI Joe" villains whose previous job experience is tax fraud, rape, and yelling on the teevee. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Today was very Monday. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Every once in a while I try a different phone keyboard only to discover they all suck in different, unique ways. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl There are cat people and dog people. I don't mean pets. I mean how people function socially. Dog people want to be everybody's best friend and can't shut up for five seconds. Cat people are ditzy and aloof and either want to bite you or get all the attention. Sometimes both at the same time. Coyotes love non-sequiturs. Hyenas laugh at everything. Because they have no taste. 😒 npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "You'll understand vaccine hesitancy once you're a parent." Uh, no, I think I'd want my baby to live, personally. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Seriously, some of the fascism emanating from tech spaces is rooted in a "dude, where's my flying car" mentality and the numbing realization that science is hard, actually, and they aren't going to live forever inside of a computer or otherwise. Their inability to cope with that knowledge has turned them into nihilist rapacious sociopaths. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Fascists know they have a built in cheat code for getting cis white academics, journalists, lawyers, politicians, etc. to give them unearned benefit of the doubt. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Trying a Linux install to get a machine working. Wish me luck! npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Safety regulations are an obstacle to innovation!" is exactly what the Oceangate guy said nine million times before his fake sub finally imploded, killing him and four other people in 3 milliseconds. So it seems weird to me that people still take it seriously as an argument. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I wish cis men understood how little they actually have to do to be and be perceived as men and that anyone saying otherwise is an asshole trying to take advantage of them. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Is ChatGPT conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. We're just going to ignore research into how gullible humans are about this going back multiple decades because we want clicks." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl We all love seeing cats when they're curled up, cozy, warm, fed, and safely protected by their humans. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Seriously, white Democrats seem to neither know nor care what their "tough on crime," anti-immigration, anti-trans stances look like to the people whose votes they feel entitled to. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl The Israel-Palestine peace process has always foundered because the West insists on taking Israel's side while pretending it's a rational, well-intentioned state actor and not a bunch of racist land-stealing sociopaths who need perpetual war to stay in power and out of jail. (The problem being this unspoken truth is why the US loves them so much.) Essentially, the Palestinians are never treated as having a legitimate grievance nor given a non-violent means to address it. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl "Most MAGA and America First accounts are actually foreign trolls." npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl It's striking how silent virtually the entire political establishment is on ICE and Israel when these two issues have become toxic with voters across the political spectrum. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl I still haven't figured out where the Old Mastodon culture of sea lion racism and reply guy misogyny comes from other than they're all the people who hated and shunned other social media sites because they had Black people or whatever. 🙄 npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Whoever owned my phone number before me was apparently on a bunch of Republican mailing lists and let me tell you, if nothing else, the texts and begging for money have gone berserk over the past few weeks. npub1jg2m2jmd7gr4qf2ypnlxjj7eageu6w70za4xmjycl6cxa292wvpq9ca9sr Nowhere Girl Sometimes I want to write a short story that's just a witch killing politicians.
