The trouble with AI puritans is they undercut the force of my criticism when I want to say “your AI art is bad and you should feel bad”. Now I just sound like an AI hater. When I am in fact judging you, specifically, for insulting your audience.
Pop Autism
Today, in “two things can be true at once”:
- RFK Jr. should be buried in sewage with the rest of the sacks of shit.
- It is a source of recurring frustration the way the social media autism discourse (“all my friends are autistic and we have jobs and partners!”) systematically elides L2-L3 kids for whom lonely unfunded work is being done to secure some semblance of a future. It says to the already-sidelined kids of already-isolated caregivers, teachers, and social workers “your autism isn’t real and you aren’t real”.
Calling it the “Old Testament” is like calling Dracula “The Old Twilight”
“Parents say it takes a village but they never want to listen to the villagers.”
– some whiny meme
By definition, the entire village raises the children. If you’re not taking equal part, you’re just a stranger with an opinion.
The only thing you should ever say to someone telling you an uncorroborated bigoted conspiracy theory is: “What did you do to those kids? You know what I’m talking about. We all know.”, and refuse to change the subject.
No one whose world is built on hearsay and anecdote will ever acknowledge a debunking; they’ll just double down on their “secret knowledge” and insist you’re “falling for the coverup”. The only viable game is to put them on the other side of their own fallacy.
