the alaska senate controversy is so funny because if voters just used the ranked choice system as intended it would not matter at all that there are two candidates of the same name

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

the past week has been unnecessarily hectic and i have done a horrendous job at promoting thus far but this book i have spent the last couple years writing is finally out in the world and i am deeply horrified but proud of it. worked so hard on being as humbly sober, fair, and honest as humanly possible.
it is a polemic, historical, and theoretical. flawed, maybe even limited—but deeply curious. and rooted in an utter devotion to wanting to advance contemporary struggle beyond its severely underdeveloped and embryonic stage in which we’ve found it (but trying to perform an autopsy for the world we have inhabited).
very excited to be in dialogue with so many brilliant folks, to hear criticisms and takedowns, in the coming months!!!
Throughout the history of the United States, Black revolution has been sedated, diverted and neutralised.
Taming the Revolution by @queersocialism is out now!

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
an essential read for those on the left willing to sacrifice truth for electoral victory
I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

Listen, Of course i support the people crushing machine. I'm a people crusher. And im also a people crushing abolitionist. I believe we can fix the people crushing machine so that it still does its job without harming any crushable people. Its just common sense.
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.
Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN
this is such a useless proclamation. 70% of Americans can support a policy and it’s blocked by our anti-democratic political system.
we could have the strongest moral compass and we’d still have billions of dollars in PAC money to convince people why they should vote against it.
