What do people see in this book? I'm usually a huge fan of science fiction, but I'm nearly halfway through it now and so far, I'm finding it unbearably dull. I'm thinking of dropping it. Am I likely to get more out of it if I keep going?

Hannah Einbinder is not concerned about being blacklisted by Hollywood when it comes to supporting Palestine. She champions Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon and other actors speaking out: "I think what they know is what I know, which is that the cost of not speaking is higher, you know? There is a greater toll in not speaking and you just gotta have your priorities straight. I am under no impression that my one small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life. @KeringGroup

someone posted a real monet painting but said it was AI - I'm actually in awe at these artchads who clocked it as real immediately
david@conundrumer
Real art critique got mixed in with the anti-ai anger and i am mad bc i care about art The “ai” painting is actually inferior! There’s something off about it bc Monet literally had vision problems when painting this Yes the point was we shouldn’t be dismissive of art by its origin but we’re still allowed to critique art just for what it is

@bo_austin_ ok but MMT is about the fundamental difference between centralized federal budgets and local ones.

possibly time to unlearn a lot of the MMT bullshit the left managed to absorb

The content of Mamdani's budget obviously matters, but I'm sorry it's insane to see people just accept the praise of balanced budgets when DECADES of activism has been spent on arguing AGAINST that. It's really sad to see honestly how much people just wanna win.

@jkimballcook Gen Z has no response to consistently getting oneshot by text-on-grainy-videos-put-to-music. How are they not embarrassed by that

That's because charity is more demanding than tolerance, not less.

@morallawwithin it’s actually very useful, the thing is that “vice signaling” is actually more commonly utilized these days
English
The worst thing to ever happen is the word “signaling” being used in popular discourse, eg virtue signaling. They think it just means “acting so that you’ll appear a certain way”

@excesstential @mattyglesias As they should. We're talking about a city that's second in spending per capita behind San Fran. There's plenty to cut.

I mean … he is deferring pension payments and got a big bailout from the state (and also isn’t going to implement the class size reduction law he championed).
I could balance the DC government without cutting services pretty easily someone gave me a bunch of free money.

He did this without cutting any social services, btw.
