If you're a self-described moderate, there's something you will notice when you sit down to consider the media put out by reactionaries, versus the media put out by the radical left.
Reactionary content is blatantly harmful. It provokes fear, either directly or indirectly encourages hatred, and support of hateful and damaging people. It's what their ideology (or, technically, lack thereof) is built on.
Radical progressive, #communist, etc. content may offend your sensibilities — did that person really just say "Stalin did nothing wrong"? — but it isn't dangerous. You might think I'm completely out of my mind for my support of North Korea, but that isn't hurting people: Even if you fully believe that the DPRK is imprisoning and torturing its citizens en masse, my support for the 'regime' couldn't possibly make that any better or any worse. The most I could do is convince you that that isn't the truth, and redirect your outrage onto more pressing (and real) matters — onto creating a better world by caring about people.
So while I may inspire the same kinds of feelings in you as a fascist might, if you're a centrist, that's where the similarities end: I think we should forcibly depose our capitalist oligarchs. They think that we should defend those capitalist oligarchs (via the system they have created) to the death — that is, the death of all the minorities they fear and hate. It won't hurt you, or anyone else, to read with your eyes what I have to say, or even share my media, even if you vehemently disagree with it; but sharing reactionary media does direct and measurable harm — unless you count the bottom line of a billionaire.
And you might be thinking: But Ferret, don't I see you posting stuff about killing the ruling class?
Sure. It's a small group of people who are defined by the power that they wield and refuse to surrender. The difference between that and reactionary celebrations of genocide is that the ruling class can simply stop being the ruling class. You'll never meet a socialist who says that if a capitalist gives up their capital — stops being a capitalist — then they still get the wall.
Indeed, when the Communist Party of China overthrew the emperor, they just had him join the working class as a normal person. Though he of course was not initially happy about this, he ended up becoming quite a celebrated communist himself.
Do you think, if the fascists got everything they wanted, they would give you any such opportunity? You can't give up being black, or trans, or being of Islamic or Jewish heritage like you can give up being a capitalist; and for that, you simply become the next target of fear and hatred.

Consumption is flourishing in immigration detention centers across the country, yet another sign that America is grinding its way through a second Gilded Age. It’s better known now by its other name, tuberculosis, and it’s the most deadly infectious disease in the world, the World Health Organization says, responsible for killing 1.5 million people each year, even though it’s both preventable and curable.
Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.
The thing that the third reich somehow also made worse for everyone is the understanding why a concentration camp is deadly even without gas chambers and furnaces.

Just sounds like another mob shakedown of an American company or institution. Similar scenarios are everywhere with this fascist-cult-mob-regime. It’s what they are.
This regime intends to skim and launder money to themselves from every citizen, company, and institution in America. Except, of course, for a cult mob hierarchy of oligarchs, kleptocrats, sycophants, henchmen, and enforcers.

Just got contacted by a recruiter for a venture-backed startup looking to replace 911 operators with LLMs to triage emergency calls and boy I can’t express how much A) no I do not want to join your company, and B) how much I do not want to live in the world where 911 calls are handled by LLMs operated by for-profit companies
"Faster response is available for a one-time charge of $79.95, or you can purchase an annual membership to our 'Ride or Die' RoboAmbulance service for $799. That's a savings of over fifteen percent!
Please have your credit card ready, and press 3 now to purchase, otherwise please stay on the line as long as you can remain conscious."
I'm concerned enough about the push to use AI (in particular LLMs, of course) in our National Health Service even if they were being run internally. LLMs misfire enough even if they are being managed by people not trying to make a profit but simply trying (perhaps mistakenly) to drive down costs.

An AI LLM 911 operator is still superior to a diversity nigger 911 operator.
I tried to do some digging to figure out what this company is called… Turns out there are several startups in this space. Lord have mercy on our souls. This is one of them: callhyper.com/
I am sure health insurance / medical industry would not want to push people to one hospital or another based on their insurance status / social score / whatever.
This is one of those situations where life should be like a cartoon in that as soon as somebody proposes an asinine idea like this a long red and white striped crook cane shoots in from the side and yanks them out of the frame to points unknown.
I’ll never shit on 911 operators, the information they provide is always critical, but the info isn’t always accurate because humans under stress are poor narrators. Sometimes you get a full accurate history, sometimes not one detail is right. LLMs replacing humans here wouldn’t necessarily kill people, but it would make the first responder’s job a lot harder. An LLM triaging (at any time) would absolutely kill people.
If this would only be for cases where 911 lines are overloaded with too many emergency calls for on-call staff to handle, sure, that’s still better than not getting through at all. But replacing 911 operators? I would not want to carry such a responsibility when these systems fail…
@CorinnaBaldauf AI: … sorry, you are correct; in fact, I didn't find a 911 number in your area so I called the one in Buffalo. AI: Anything else I can do for you?
ems/911 systems have been already doing a lot of work with automatic dispatch and intake over the last 5-10 years. lots of state-machines, crow fly and turn by turn algorithms have been in play. even the intake call with live triage is automated to where any layman can dispatch and coordinate.
llms in my view are not a good fit for this sort of thing, but countless people have poor operators when seconds matter.
I think this would be the point at which I'd start asking the recruiters about their poor life choices and if they realize they can just quit their soul-crushing jobs and find something less evil to do.
Just like most hotlines already are llm driven. But hey, its super nice to bee in a "I want to talk to a human" discussion for several minutes before getting actual help.

Having spent almost 28 years in Medicine, i have come to the following conclusions:
I believe that the healthcare industry rarely ever provides healthcare. Instead it provides disease management by using expensive and potentially harmful pills to mask symptoms
Secondly I believe people come to see doctors to be engaged, educated and
I am Dr Sanjay Gupta. I am a Consultant heart specialist in York, UK and I believe that high quality reliable jargon-free information about health should be available at no cost to everyone in the world.
empowered rather than being given a set of pills before being shown the door.
I think lifestyle management is perhaps the single most effective therapy in medicine and yet largely ignored because it is boring and not as profitable as promoting the newest and often most expensive tablet.
I do believe that high quality reliable jargon-free information about health should be available at no cost to everyone in the world. Unfortunately many people rely on google to answer
their questions and are often left confused and anxious because of the unreliability and variability of the quality of information
I think the media, the pharmaceutical industry and often the healthcare industry profit by promoting fear rather tan providing reassurance and empathy.
Women don't want biological males in their bathroom and trans-identified individuals don't like being reminded they were born a certain sex. The disabled restroom is the only place that doesn't care for sex/gender politics.
While I've enjoyed Gavin Newsom trolling Trump, I'm getting really sick of people defending him as a presidential candidate when he thought it was a great idea to embrace MAGA on his podcast and throw trans people under the bus.
The South Park guys tore Charlie Kirk a new one for being a piece of human detritus, a real-life version of Cartman. Gavin thought it would be fun to have Charlie Kirk on his podcast where they trashed trans athletes together.
There's nothing good about transphobia, sorry. We need to collectively fight for the rights of all marginalized groups, not compromise with MAGA and decide trans people aren't worth protecting.
@violetmadder More people need to realize this. Nothing short of a nationwide hostile takeover of the party by genuine leftists is going to fix it. @bascule
i do kinda feel like cleaning up trump's mess is shitty peoples' responsibility though, as the least they can do, so i welcome diversity of tactics in that regard. but fascism lite that doesn't protect trans people isn't good enough for actual leadership
Gavin's main talent is identifying a cause people belive in and getting out in front of it to make it look like he's leading the movement. But everything he does is ultimately about him and his success. That can make him useful politically and help us achieve goals, but I wouldn't ever trust him to do the right thing. But politics make strange bedfellows, and if he's the one standing up to the fascist takeover, I'm going to cheer for him to win that fight the whole way. Then I'll fight him over respecting trans rights and means-testing Medi-Cal. That's apparently the best we can get these days.

The problem with capitalism is not your boss, or your bosses boss.
The problem with capitalism isn't even the richest guy in the world (even though they are awful people).
The problem with capitalism is that it is irrational, inadequate in addressing human needs, and insanely destructive to all of its main sources of wealth: nature and human beings.

"...it is perhaps worth while to noite that miniare meant to work with minium (this is, either orange lead or red sulphide of mercury), and that a person who worked with minium was called a miniator, and the things that he was to miniate were called miniatura. So miniatrues were originally the paragraph signs and versals and capitals and headings, and so on, which were to be put in red in manuscripts. The men who put these in sometimes did illustrative and decorative drawings and paintings besides, and these came to be called miniatures too. And, finally, because they were only incidental, and therefore usually rather small, the word miniature came to mean "diminutive.""
"We have no appetite for robust, rich excess. The spirit of pageantry leaves us when we look at pictures. We fear the sun, we choose the gentle shade, we like our gilding rubbed and dulled and worn, and our silver oxidized; and cowering under the topis of our sensitive aesthetic consciousness, we prefer not to believe in the stark brilliance, the garish, gaudy sunshine that the Middle Ages revelled in. We care more for subtle harmony than for triumphant, gorgeous brightness; but we forget that there are harmonies of midday as well as harmonies of dawn and dusk."
The reason why our accounts are being gutted, is because we're not making them enough money and are seen as a liability to investors. So they're trimming the fat of failed and struggling small businesses to look better.
