I like the furries because they're really accepting

But come on...Understanding how progressive movements fail ~~and how it's usually because the CIA destabilized the regime~~ actually matters.

Especially now. Less circle jerking, more historical analysis with clear messaging

Anti semitic remarks are not the same as anti Israeli remarks

I feel nothing when that guy changed "death, death to the IDF". Well, maybe a mix of amusement and concern. But I have nothing, at all, to do with the IDF and do not support what they do

When you say, in this context, "I'll cool it with the anti semitic comments when war criminals are brought to justice", how do you think that feels?

Don't take this shit casually, anti semitism goes back to biblical times. I've experienced it growing up. And now, they're asking new York Jews what they think of "their" prime minister? They're "othering" us already

They just built a concentration camp. In America. The Holocaust wasn't the first time they targeted the Jews as the enemy within. I've always reminded my family who start flirting with conservatism... We're always second. When they run out of people that look different, we're next

I know what you meant. But that's not what you said, and words matter

Yeah, I really don't care about this. It's in bad taste, boo hoo

Can we please focus on the fucking concentration camp???

I have a neat trick. I say "if I were a me, where would I have put this?"

I don't remember where things belong, but I know immediately that I would put vitamins in the cabinet, on the counter, on the table, or in a travel bag. There's basically nowhere else I'd put them unless something very unusual happened, so then I'd look to see if they fell from one of these places

Yeah, but what do you do with that? Just give up?

You're not going to convince everyone, but every once in a while someone will dig into it. It keeps the knowledge alive

He worked really hard to thread the needle between capitol and some actually progressive policies

Which, in the effort to avoid making enemies, just basically pissed off everyone, because it took a nibble of the profits for the tiniest wins possible

But I'm sure it was a lot of work

When an actual Jewish person comes out against Israel, they just call them a self hating Jew. Yup. Nothing antisemitic about that. They must just really want to protect Jewish people from... checks notes... ourselves.

This is scary to me. Like when reporters started going up to random Jewish people in New York and asking about "your prime minister"

I didn't think they would start "othering" us so fast

Yo, put up some context or you're just circle jerking. Not everyone knows those historical deep takes, everyone not in the know will dismiss this as some level of conspiracy theory without sauce

Messaging matters

Amateur. My dream job was just to exist in nature without a job, just creating to create, and instead I'm constantly tempted with employment

Yes, electronics are very cheap... But remember the part where they also have a mechanical mechanism? They have two systems, where most cars have this very simple lock that connects to a tiny motor assembly. It's literally a piece of plastic and a few wires

The tablet thing is true, they've changed cars to computerize everything, and once you've done that you can connect everything over a network. Every button needs to do back to a chip to become a digital signal, so before you had these complex one-off wiring harnesses for everything

But the tablet thing is again, common. It makes sense, it's just worse

But Elon is a unique case. Elon likes to actually make decisions, because he thinks he's Tony Stark. He actually goes down into teams and hangs out, and they have to just work around whatever decisions he makes. It's present in all of his companies, but you can see it most in Twitter, because they didn't have time to build a team to strategically distract him when he comes to visit

This absolute idiot has spent the last month trying to get grok to be a literal Nazi. First, he added a bunch of white genocide to the prompt, making it change the topic to that from any question for a few days.

Now it's responding all confused, and saying things like "I never gave Jeffrey Epstein tours of spaceX or Tesla" when asked it Elon did it. Seems to me they fed Elon's tweets in the RAG system in a amateur way

He micromanages and meddles constantly... That's what he does at his companies

For a counterexample, Jeff Bezos. He was heavily involved in the fire phone, and had some genuinely cool ideas... But the priorities were all wrong, so it flopped. He learned his lesson

They don't stop speeding just like harsher penalties don't stop most kinds of crime

If you want people to slow down, you paint the lanes smaller, make them narrow regularly, add roundabouts and plastic bollards between the lanes - you have to actually address the problem, which is the speed people feel natural driving at on any given road

The ones you can go after are the people weaving between traffic and racing, but I doubt a letter in the mail is going to do much
