"That’s what makes Zohran Mamdani’s election in New York so unsettling to the old order. New York City is not just another municipality; it’s a sovereign-scale entity. Its population surpasses 38 states. Its metropolitan GDP trails only Texas and California.

It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.

It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism — housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation — functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance can’t work at scale. The fear isn’t ideological. It’s empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.

What terrifies the establishment isn’t failure. It’s feasibility.

If it works in New York, there’s no reason it can’t work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing — and no one can claim it isn’t American."

things I won’t let ai take away from human writers

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

speculations, accusations and ai witch hunt harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

[rain-nyte]

Similarly your also helping ai hurt visual artists by accusing every piece of art you see that is even remotely close to a style you've seen an ai model use of being ai generated because once again, ai was trained to mimic the way humans make art, it wouldn't be using those art styles if there weren't actual artists out there who used similar or the same style first. You're also discouraging new artists by blindly accusing every image where the proportions are a little off of being ai generated because, and say it with me this time folks, AI WAS TRAINED TO MIMIC THE WAY REAL HUMANS CREATE, IF AI IS DOING SOMETHING A CERTAIN WAY ITS USUALLY BECAUSE IT WAS FED A LOT OF IMAGES OF REAL PEOPLES ART WHO ALSO DID IT THAT WAY. ai produced content is not as instantly and immediately recognizable as you would think it is and a lot of the tools designed to detect ai generated content are heavily flawed because they dont look for excessive use of these things they simply look to see if these things exist at all, they will as a result often throw false positives for genuine art simply because that style or mistake got taken and used in a lot of ai content.

Me “I can raise the temperature of a space by 5 degrees (Fahrenheit) per success” DM “Okay.” Me “And that’s 6 successes, so 30 degrees…” DM “Okay…” Me “And ‘inside the human body’ is a space, right?” DM “…I don’t like where this is going.” Me “So I’m going to raise the temperature inside his body 30 degrees.” DM “Yeah, so he’s dead now. He was fine, and then went through all the stages of heat stroke in half a second before his body went ‘No thank you’ and just shut off to stop it from being so hot. Good job.”

call me crazy but i think public transportation should explicitly also be for actively drunk/high people. so they don’t, you know, drive under the influence.

[weirdtranssexual]

seeing three main types of comments on this post:

1 — normal people being like yeah this totally makes sense. we should prioritize solutions that keep people from dying.

2 — cowards who think anyone visibly altered should go fuck themselves because don’t you know that my comfort is more important than your ability to get home safely

3 — europeans (mostly) who genuinely think everywhere in the world has sensible takes on public transportation and think this post is me doing a “water is wet” type of thing

poll game!

there were ~60 conspirators to kill caesar but they only managed to stab him 23 times. assuming a conspirator got to stab him a max of only 1 time, try to split yourselves into the same percentages as those 2069 years ago

23/60 who did stab him = 38.3%

37/60 who didn't stab him = 61.7%

ICE now tackling press.

[lostinhistory]

[stele3]

Interview where he talks about what happened.

[flavinbagel]

A photographer for Getty isn't even a journalist so much as an archivist. ICE violently disrupted the apolitical documentation of what they were doing, violating any and all rights that might flimsily stand in their way. It would have been just as wrong had they done this to an MSNBC reporter hellbent on a spin, but now Abernathy's neutral action as a photographer has been rendered necessarily political by ICE's violence.

They know what they're doing is objectively evil. They have no intention of stopping.

[blaka-smoko]

previous tags from @nihilisticspacequeer, which provide a bit of context for why Abernathy threw his (extremely expensive) camera

[freckledhyenas]

they got way more on camera too. lookit this shit. source

they knock him down from behind, they're kneeling on him, and they've set off tear gas. his arms are pinned under him and he can't breathe. look at this photo of his face.

I'm gagging and literally thought I’m going to pass out. I couldn’t breathe. I was thinking I only have a couple of breaths left and I don’t know what’s going to happen after that. I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera. I lifted my head up and saw one photographer taking photos. I threw my camera and then I threw my phone.

this last picture is his camera on top of his citation.

but the insane thing? yk how he said

I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera.

THIS IS THE LAST SHOT

THIS is the photo he took before he threw his camera. how poignant.

check out the article source too, it's a really good read.

[alanaisalive]

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

[iguanamouth]

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
