AOC Is A Genocidal Con Artist
Saying you support funding Israel's "defensive weapons" while opposing sending it "offensive weapons" is as nonsensical as saying you would never give a mass shooter guns and ammunition, but you would give him body armor to keep him safe from the police.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah-yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone, the words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you, mmm

In an age in which our phones, televisions, thermostats, doorbells, computers, and refrigerators are recording our every word, handwriting in a journal has become an act of rebellion.
What we post online will be lost in time, but what we write by hand can last generations. I have letters written by my great-grandparents before I was born, and they're a great glimpse into the past. Maybe what I write in a journal today will help people in future understand what we're going through today.

At #TheHagueGroup Summit, Colombian President #GustavoPetro delivered a searing indictment of global inaction on Gaza, calling it an “experiment by the ultra-rich” to test how far humanity can be pushed into submission.
Petro warned that the same powers bombing #Gaza may soon turn their weapons on the Global South, crushing multilateralism and silencing collective resistance through fear and fragmentation.

Lyrics:
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm with you, mm
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm with you, yeah-yeah
Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you, oh

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. I don't give a fuck whether immigrants "came here literally" or not.
We live in a country run by billionaire pedos who are actively burning the planet to the ground for a few more dollars and pulling us all down into actual fucking fascism but somehow I'm supposed to care about Juan the gardener and his wife Maria who makes the absolute best fucking homemade empanadas I've ever eaten in my life and whether they filed form M-725-E before or after crossing an imaginary line in the sand?
Ok weirdo.

I am so tired of baseless left expressions of winningtude.
"Cop City will never be built!" was one I heard for a while. I always thought: yes it is. And now it is going to be.
Why? Because the state will bring people up on RICO charges and whatever else and people will fold. The only situation where they don't is pretty much an active revolutionary one, and we're not in that.
1/n
People need to have realistic goals or whatever, sure, but "winning" isn't that clear-cut.
I was recently listening to a podcaster who pointed out that, even though the fascists won the Spanish Civil War, the fight cost Franco so much that he simply didn't have the resources left to offer much help to Hitler later on.
So, losing the Spanish Civil War still helped win WWII.
A great many efforts that disappear into obscurity or appear totally futile, still count for something.

Excerpt: The biggest problem with removing evil from American culture and what’s left of our civilization is, quite frankly, the Democratic Party.

Science shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
From cancer treatments to extreme weather alerts, science makes everyone’s life better, regardless of political affiliation.
But science becomes partisan when corrupt politicians defund research, fire scientists, and censor data, harming us all.
Regardless of political affiliation, yes.
But not regardless of wealth.
Current Science seems to say that the extreme wealth concentration is bad for society, economy and the environment.
So the extremely wealthy want to destroy science.

Over a year ago, I posited that AI coding stuff isn't about coding or productivity. It's about some % of people who feel a stimulus-reward thing from using it, similar to how some people feel when gambling. It feels so overwhelmingly good to some % of people they don't even bother to measure if their AI stuff is actually doing anything useful, because of course it must be, because the feeling is so strong.
It seems more & more people are also finding this idea lately.
But I've also realized that it seems to apply to any of the prompt-style AI things, not just coding. There is some kind of slot machine playing mania (sorta, not exactly) thing it triggers in some % of people. I'm certain of it now.
If anything, it makes me feel a bit less angry and more sad towards the people with this AI prompt-query compulsion. It feels closer to when you see someone with a gambling addiction stuck at a gambling machine.
this reflects my experience pretty strongly.
I've been pretty staunchly opposed to this wave of gen-AI since chatGPT launched in 2022, and never intentionally touched it until three months ago, when I finally felt like I needed to spend at least a little bit of time with it to understand/prove what I was opposed to. it almost *immediately* triggered an addiction response (of the gambling category, as you pointed out), to the point where within a week I could barely sleep, and all I could think about was prompting, explicitly like I needed to be using it 24/7 and trying to figure out the right way to extract quality output from it, under this sudden manufactured feeling of urgency.
luckily, i got burnt out on it pretty "quickly" (roughly a month) which forced me to step back, and had lived long enough to be able to identify what this cycle was. It was also tremendously helpful to both have had a long critical perspective built against the tech that I had now tested against, and a really high bar of personal work quality that I was able to use to categorize that output of these tools as "complete shit".
it's wild to me that as someone who was pretty publicly and vocally against the principle of the tech, this addiction loop still hit me at full force, on the very first prompt I ever fed it. for people without the life experience, critical lens, and body of high quality personal work to measure against, I can't imagine how many could possibly escape from the slot machine cycle. "if I can just figure out exactly how to word this prompt, it'll solve all my problems...". I wonder how those who do escape don't talk about it publicly out of shame (me, until this post).
the silver lining for me personally is that it did end up having some kind of positive effect on how I approach my work. reading through so much slop for a month re-lit a fire within me to be even more intentional and human in my work, whether through writing or code.
Holy shit. Okay, that's terrifying.
Me, I have next to no susceptibility to gambling-- for one thing, I understand too much about math, the odds of winning are so low the whole thing strikes me as contemptibly absurd-- and for another, I'm a digital artist so gut-wrenched by the uncanny valley effect of putting other people's work through a meat grinder and regurgitating it into a shambling frankenitation of art that it makes me feel physically ill, so I haven't even touched it. I've just been sitting here mystified like WHY EVEN...
If that's the type of effect it's having on people who aren't wired like me... good gawd, we're in deep shit.
