The Left has arrived at the consensus that competing against them in elections is 'subverting democracy.' xitter.cf/BeshearStan/status/211…
Any country without a uniform commercial code, courts, debt perfection, or bankruptcy would last 20 years tops as debtors (now serfs) would constantly work under the table and domestic capital gets horded in personal stockpiles rather than getting lent out for investment.
core CPI inflation (i.e. inflation of everything ) is overwhelmingly driven by an increase in the cost of housing, fuel, food, and transport. The US is currently facing massive price-hikes as the government lowers interest rates AND taxes.
In Libertarian Dreamland, without the state regulating anything, i could take out 5 loans against my car worth triple the actual value, causing 5 different people to lose money. I could then buy a house that had a lien against it.
by that same logic, you shouldn't get to vote if you own a business because you'd be a single-issue voter about increasing your profits.

The bit in class struggles in France where Marx describes the opposition to Bonaparte and the party of order coalescing into this horrifying “doctrine socialism.” Yeah idk me might just have been a prophet.
if a chatbot is 'artificial intelligence' then a dolphin deserves the Rights of Man
cetaceans are very obviously “people” and sapient to a degree indistinguishable from humans, and this is basically scientific consensus at this point.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While cetaceans show advanced cognition like self-recognition in some species and complex sociality, claims they are “people” sapient indistinguishably from humans are not scientific consensus and remain contested.

i think anime broke the brains of people into thinking 'more movement = better.' This is a half-second visual gag. AI makes 3D models move. the difference is that human-made art communicates.

Just so people understand the state of the media in France: there were no violent events in the massive protests in Paris, so the right-wing channel CNews broadcast footage from ALBANIA and pretended it was Paris (!)

She’s dead.
I was hoping to find some information on her, because no one deserves to be alone like that. Since she was 13 she was homeless.
Her name was Bethany Hine.
She was 43 when she passed in 2024 from a fentanyl overdose and was found dead in a park.
