Today's the day: I'm going off-grid until October 21st. No phone, no Internet, no checking the news at all If there's something I ought to read about upon my return, feel free to drop a link in the comments to document the horrors (if you want, I'm not the boss of you)

This has not even remotely been my experience, it's actually really easy to support human rights and everyone should try it

Being a trans ally is a slippery slope because you start off giving trans people a little bit of grace and now you’re stuck being forced to comply with their demands that get more insane every other day

Fellas, there's no use fighting it. Like it or not, AI is going to replace all creative fields within the next two weeks and achieve superintelligence by the end of the year Humanity is basically obsolete. You simply cannot compete with a machine like this

They did though, the “Antifa terrorism” executive order was signed shortly after, which was then followed by NSPM-7. Since then the Trump admin has spied on activists, journalists, unions, and nonprofits. They sentenced people to 50 years in jail for attending a protest.

When Kirk was killed, I was really worried the administration was going to turn it into a Horst Wessel moment and institute a major crackdown on civil liberties. They didn’t for two reasons: one unpredictable, one predictable. Nobody predicted that a popular movement would turn his death into a punchline, which deflated the dire threats of right-wing figures and made them seem fatuous. In the second, which anyone could have predicted, Trump just didn’t put that much effort into canonizing Kirk, because he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He believes (after surviving an assassination attempt) that if you get assassinated, you’re a loser. So despite lesser figures like Vance and Tucker Carlson trying to turn Charlie Kirk into a martyr, their leader couldn’t be arsed, and martyrdom failed. And so we have this as his legacy.

trying to get people to understand that the trans women in sports debate isn’t really about sports but a meta narrative pushed by the right all about slowly getting all trans people out of public life is truly impossible

Five years ago, on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I wrote about how things could have gone if we'd reacted differently Instead, we vowed to Never Forget and here we are today: forever stuck in the anger stage of grief rollingstone.com/politics/po…

‘Never Forget’ Is Breaking America

I did two tours in Afghanistan after 9/11. The country I went to war for no longer exists

Hey question: why is a magazine called The Economist applying an argument that works only in a state of perfect competition to both a commodity with inelastic demand and a monopoly? Capitalists don't understand basic economics
Eventually the use of AI could push up electricity bills. But the answer to competing demands on resources-whether water, electricity or something else-is to price them according to their scarcity, thereby encouraging more provision and higher living standards over time.

There is a respectable argument for slowing down AI research, but it rests on the danger to all humanity of the technology being abused or going rogue—not the local harms of data centres economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

The moral panic over data centres is foolish

A backlash fuelled by misinformation and misunderstanding

I have a couple alternate ideas re: what to do if I don't want a bunch of cameras to see where my car is going on the roadways my tax money paid for

If you don’t want a bunch of cameras to see where your car is going on public roadways, then don’t drive a car. Matter of fact, just live in the woods and avoid society altogether. You don’t have an absolute right to privacy in public places.

As you may remember, I received a job offer from ICE last September despite: *Not signing any paperwork *No background check *An almost certainly failed drug test *Being an outspoken critic of ICE with a unique name and a large social media footprint slate.com/news-and-politics/…

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.
