He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans. That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference? The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

We need to make sure Mamdani ends NYPD–Israeli collaboration and shuts down their office in Israel. He’ll have the power to fire the current Zionist NYPD commissioner and appoint his own. For everyone who said “wait until he wins” to criticize, start demanding this on day one.

Palestine wasn’t a risk in Mamdani’s campaign, it was the reason he won. This was a referendum on Zionism, and the victory we need to build on is the people’s rejection of it. The real win isn’t electoral, it’s ideological. We must capture, deepen, and organize on that rejection.

"I chose this song because I remember rocking my newborn on my chest, singing it to him and crying because he was all I wanted for so many years. After a painful miscarriage, I was so grateful that I was finally holding my precious rainbow baby. Life is such an astonishing miracle and should be treated that way." "When I look at Rahaf, I see my children. I see the same precious miracle. When I look at her mom, Israa, I see myself. I see that all she wants is for her children to be ok. Nothing else matters. But unlike me, her daughter has no legs. Unlike me, her sons are starving in Gaza." "Recently, my son wanted to hold my hand all night. He did. As I held his little hand, I thought about Israa’s face when she saw her sons in Gaza on video chat. I saw the pride of a mother showing me her sweet boys, but also a deep pain and tears falling down her cheeks because she isn’t able to hold their hands." "I have seen something that I will never forget these past few years. I have seen people view children in Gaza as not the same as other children. As not fully human. It has been deeply disturbing, and it’s how these war crimes against children have been able to be committed." "The sleeping world will wake up to the fact that they were the same. 17,000 children killed, the biggest group of child amputees in modern history, the orphans, the starved — They were our babies." 😭

@TVietor08 They didn't "change their mind", they're jumping off a sinking ship. They spent the last two years facilitating the very thing they're now condemning. If they were serious they would resign in shame and submit themselves to a human rights tribunal.

Tweeting "I told you so" at people who change their mind about what's happening in Gaza does nothing to help the kids who are being starved to death. Welcome people into the tent. Build a bigger coalition and use it to force political change.

@AOC "No no! We're just giving the Nazis *defensive* weapons!" What a fucking joke. You are a complete fraud.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue. I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established. I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.

🚨I've seen enough 🚨 Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo. We are witnessing political history before our eyes.

Zohran Mamdani

@RepJeffries loser shit Iran should have nukes and you should resign.

My statement on recent developments in the Middle East.

People like Mamdani because he seems to stand for something, even if it's just buses free at point of service, a modest, one per borough, public grocery store program, and pre-K for kids. No one knows has any idea what Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries or Kamala Harris stands for.

Lol looks like someone else didn't know who he was messing with

We should be firing missiles at Israel

@jph_anderson Release them in parts but out of order

@ghostofpauper If it's in parts like this, it'll be 6-7 parts total. There are eleven "chapters" but this upload already has two of them. Parts is better for copyright bs, etc. But I might not do any more part uploads and do the whole thing together after this. Depends what the response is.

It's not April Fool's Day anymore so I can post it on twitter. youtube.com/watch?v=WtIie2…

@RadishHarmers I'm still thinking about your Mandela Effect post. Really just a perfect post imo

I've made 77,000 posts and no one still thinks about any of them. I've wasted my life.

In the minds of right-wingers, the “global elite” are not the billionaire tech oligarchs who were trumps invited guests at the inauguration, but rather non-binary baristas and elementary school teachers with pride flags in their classrooms

Remember that a ceasefire is a start. We want a free Palestine.

@coqqers Fuck off

Why is @FamilyFeud, which is meant to be an American TV show, allowing families to wear the keffiyeh? After the October 7th massacre in Israel, the keffiyeh has become a symbol of terrorism and antisemitism. Why is Family Feud permitting this?
