  • Probably there is a lower ceiling in text generation to things that are considered "progress" by everyone. People can verbalize exactly what is wrong with pictures and video, but for text, if it is coherent and gets the point across what is progress beyond passing the Turing test?

  • Is this the same town where they elected a black mayor and the former mayor didn't recognize the election, so they barred him from entering town hall or looking at any of the finances? Something about a secret meeting that canceled the election that no one knew about so somehow the town wound up with two dueling city councils?

  • My experience reading the Sinfest comic taught me that people start out as feminists (believe in the equality of the sexes) then turn to radical feminists (believe that women are superior to men), which causes them to see Trans women as men realizing the truth and trying to stay in the superior sex, and trans men as women being tricked by doctors (terfs).

    This leads to both demonization of sex work (swerfs) and distrust in doctors in general (anti-vax), and finally leading to the distrust in all science and fact and full blown narcissim.

  • A lot of things could have cost Harris the election. If you have 4 people of varying strengths try to lift (with varying effort) a couch and fail to move it, do you blame the strongest person? The person that contributed the least lift? The person whose effort is much smaller that what they could lift? All four equally? The person who picked the people to move the couch?

    Depending on how you parse the data, you could come to opposite conclusions (Harris lost because she wasn't pro-Israel enough! Harris lost because she was to much pro-genocide!)

    What people who want to win next time need to do is look at their part of the failure (how do we get more youth to vote; how do we bring out the base; how do we secure the center; how do we strike back against lies; how do we stop the flow of foreign money...) and fix it for next time so that there are many ways the liberal candidate can win. THEN we can debate about WHICH candidate that should be.

  • Eh, with USAID gone and SNAP being gutted, a lot of the farmers are going to go bankrupt. With the Medicaid cuts, a lot of the rural hospitals (the main employers in rural areas) are going to go bankrupt. And if the "big beautiful bill" doesn't pass, all social security and medicare payments will stop until something passes. A lot of bad things will happen to the "wrong rural people".

    Also, Trump has another law he can use to make tariffs with, and it will be another 6 months before the court rules on that.

  • comes out there’s a tape of 20 9 years old peeing on him while he wears an Obama mask;

    The Russians had that over him in 2016. Between then and now, AI videos have been invented and Trump was convicted of a crime without any negative effects. Blackmail doesn't work on him anymore, just bribery.

  • We want to stand up to Trump's stock manipulation: but Nacy Pelosi keeps blocking bills making congressional insider trading illegal.

    We want to stand up to Trump's support for multiple genocidal dictators, but Chuck Schumer keeps pushing for more weapons to Israel.

    We want to make majauana legal, but Kamala Harris keeps touting how she had sent majauana users to jail.

    In short, we want democratic leaders who stand for democratic values or at least who don't actively push policies counter to them.
