I’d rather be woke — than stupid and racist and Republican.

When it comes to AI hype and terror, I am actively putting myself in a filter bubble. I am aware this means I get a skewed version of what people are saying, as I gradually unfollow and unsubscribe from the KoolAid drinkers (and even the sippers). I don't know if this is a good strategy - if it makes me less potentially effective at whatever role I might have in pushing back, or if it makes the intrusions of hype all the more triggering when they happen. But it's borne of necessity.

I set a goal for myself to do every day in March. I haven’t totally managed to meet that goal, but I did my 12th practice in 16 days and I’m feeling good about it. Don’t be scared to set for yourself, and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t meet them. Be gentle to yourselves!

@StillIRise1963 we are at the (hopefully ultimate) culmination of platforms and messaging since the 1964 civil rights act caused a strong reaction amongst those with fascist tendencies who have always been with us, but have been gradually empowered by and pandered to by the "good" conservatives for their votes

reagan put an "aw shucks" smarmy charm on it, and the legal changes he instituted really started the ball rolling to our current morass

now conservatives stare blinking and unbelieving as the zombie horde openly embraces ethnonationalism, domestically and the russian variety abroad, well aware what a threat this is

well: you made this conservatives, you nurtured it, it is your creation. own it

Now we feel that the russian aggression is approaching the point where it can break - address by the President of #Ukraine 15/03/23

Extract
There is no terrorist that can build up its potential in confronting the free world. russia is no exception.

We must constantly increase the pressure for terror. Pressure in our defense, in sanctions against russia, in destroying the ways the russian state and its companies circumvent sanctions..

Children's Health Care
Their right to Education
"GOP-Fuck the kids”

I see the liberals are trying to catch nazis in logical fallacies again as some way to triumph over them. Here's the thing: while it might feel good to go "ha! they can't even define what woke actually means!" the thing is that it doesn't matter to them

The right doesn't care if it lacks definitions or if it's hypocritical or even contradictory. "Woke" is just their dog whistle for "people we want to exterminate" that they can say without being perceived as "not being rude", something the liberal establishment seems to care more about than the underlying sentiment

Saying "you can't even define woke" is about as effective as saying "the president is not named Brandon". It doesn't matter. The important thing is that "let's go Brandon" gives them social cover that "fuck the president" doesn't

Stop asking nazis to define woke and start telling them that you know they want to commit genocide and you'll fight them

Fossil fools, deniosaurs, oil apologists, and other climate deniers want to debate the science of climate change.

Hogwash‼️ There is no debate.

The important discussion is on the evils of climate denialism & the harm it causes.

Words are cheap for #Sunak ...and it seems pretty meaningless. Where is that tax return of his that was promised by Christmas 2022? He’s no more honest or transparent than #Johnson, #Truss or #Trump...he just does it all with a boyish grin.

GOP: We protect kids!

So—ban child labor?

GOP: No

Ban child marriages?

GOP: No

Ban children from carrying guns?

GOP: No

Ban gun sales w/o background checks?

GOP: No

Then how exactly do protect kids?🤔

GOP: We ban books, discussions on racism, drag, & free school lunch.

Cute cat alert! Mr. Minx and Oreo are cuddling on the dog bed.

Good night friends and fellow reprobates! I'll catch ya on the flip side. I'm not going to bed, just unplugging for a bit.
