Trump held a rally in Michigan this week.

Does this tell you everything you need to know about Trump‘s supporters?

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

I don't want to buy mass-produced garbage from a big box store so I go to etsy but half of etsy is now dropshipped mass-produced garbage or AI slop so I go to the local arts and crafts street market but a ton of those booths are also selling the same generic plastic objects or identical stickers or 3D printed dragons so WHERE do I buy real trinkets and art from sincere freaks

The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...

Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?

“Democratic leaders fear that their party’s growing progressive flank will dash its chances in the midterm elections. That is possible. But — clearly — many Democratic voters no longer buy this argument. There is less reason for them to worry than there was in previous election years. Much of their agenda reflects views that a large number of Americans now hold: disentangling politics and corporate interests, raising taxes on the wealthy, ending military aid to Israel, passing Medicare for All.”

— The Democratic Establishment Had This Coming

Yes, that’s what many Americans want, but if we Democrats do not win the midterms–it’s over. We will become an autocracy. We will NEVER get any of these things.

We told the far left in 2016 that if Trump won, we would lose the Supreme Court for at least a generation. But they couldn’t be bothered to vote for Hillary anyway because she didn’t meet their standards. And we lost the Supreme Court at least for a generation. And with that we also lost Roe v. Wade, the Voting Rights Act, any hope of campaign finance reform or gun control, etc.

We told the far left in 2024 that if they did not vote for Kamala and Trump won, he would start to usher in autocracy and neofascism. But they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the “lesser of two evils” because of Gaza. So they either didn’t vote or voted third party and Trump won. And he has been engaging in ethnic cleansing of Brown and Black immigrants, building inhumane detention centers (i.e., concentration camps), and created a huge masked federal police force. The GOP has already cut Medicaid and SNAP substantially–but the Medicaid cuts won’t be felt until after the midterms. And the killing continues in Gaza, but now we are also at war with Iran.

We are telling you now that if we lose the midterms it will be OVER. In the next two years, the Trump administration will definitely turn the US into an autocracy and elections will be meaningless. There will be no going back except for revolution. And Americans are way too passive to risk their lives for a revolution.

So don’t listen to us again and see what happens.

Seriously. I’m a social democrat and I want all the things that the left want like universal healthcare. But we need to put up candidates in different districts that can win those districts. In Manhattan a Mamdani can win. And that’s great. But in Georgia, not so much.

So get out of your idealized bubble and get really WOKE because you are sleepwalking into a neofascist state if you keep refusing to vote for candidates that don’t check off all the right (i.e., idealized left) boxes.

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.
