@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialJust finished "Endgames" by Ru Xu, sequel to "Newsprints." I was happy to see the characters from the first book get their endings, but Xu feels incredibly out of her depth writing about the politics of empire and the power/complicity of the press, which completely dampened my enjoyment.
As just one example, there's a ton of interesting nuance to explore behind the idea of a disabled imperial ruler and how disadvantage/persecution (from which you have been effectively shielded) does not justify harming others. This book explores none of that.
I think it does serve as a great example of how severely one limits one's own imagination when one buys into the myth of nationhood as natural/inevitable/good. It's not that Xu's politics are especially authoritarian, I think, but that she's just (been kept?) resoundingly naïve, and so her plot resolution feels childish (or perhaps that's an insult to children).

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioOne other pattern that I kept experiencing last year when I was actually trying these tools in my work (because I had so many people pushing them on me I started to think I was crazy):
Them: “oh you are struggling with X? I have been using AI to solve it and it gives me the solution in less than 10 minutes! You HAVE TO try it!”
Me: “X is really annoying, I’d love to get help with it. I’ll try that, thanks!”
* I go and try to do X, spend hours prompting AI back-and-forth as it keeps messing up and doing things wrong. I give up and do the thing manually, spending 2-3x the time I would have spent if I did it myself from the start.*
*days / weeks later*
Me: “hey, person, I tried to do X with AI and it didn’t work. I kept getting issues like Y and Z. Did I prompt it wrong? This is what I tried.”
Them: *nods, maybe chuckles* “oh yeah, it does that. I still haven’t been able to figure out how to reliably do X. I tend to redo the output completely too. But sometimes it helps me do like this tiny part. Anyway, these tools will improve soon and we won’t have to do so many manual revisions. “
I kid you not, this stuff happened every other week.

@hex@kolektiva.socialThe fascist who killed Heather Heyer at Unite the Right helped turn the tides against the last Trump administration. He said there were "very fine people on both sides." The resistance grew, antifa doxxing fascists started getting those fash fired.
But some of those fash didn't stop. They kept organizing their terror cells. The fash who killed Heyer was with a group called Vanguard America. Patriot Front is a Nazi group that split off from Vanguard America. They started terrorizing people by loading up in box trucks and piling out for spontaneous marches.
That box truck tactic probably sounds familiar. Patriot Front basically disappeared at the same time that ICE started recruiting hard.
Let me make it more clear. The very same Nazis from UTR who killed Heather Heyer, who Trump called "very fine people," are now employees of DHS. They've been carrying out the ethnic cleansing they always dreamed of, and they're being paid by the government, *with your tax dollars*, to do it. And now, just like in Charlottesville, they've murdered an unarmed protestor.
This feels similar because it is. These are the same people killing daughters and mothers. Killing unarmed protestors, out of rage not fear, then lying and claiming self defense. This is the same tactic it's always been. This is the same thing they've always done.
It seems like we may have reached the Heather Heyer point of this administration early with Renee Good. Now would be a good time for everyone to get into the streets and stay there until this is over. Everyone turned the tides before, and now he's so much weaker.
This can all be over if we fight like hell to end it.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialREMINDER: Influenza has everything needed to kill people every year and produce a global pandemic every few decades forever. What keeps it at a low “just the flu” level is vaccination. One thing that kept the most recent surges from being more like 1918 is the CDC. What is left of the CDC is inadequate to that task. https://m…

@cdarwin@c.imDeplatforming Nick Fuentes was what kept him from being mainstreamed

Elon's replatforming of all of these people

@servelan@newsie.social"Henry Bolton, former politician who was the leader of the UK Independence Party, is utterly aghast at the rumors that Trump is sending emissaries to moscow to rubber-stamp putin’s invasion. If this is true, Bolton argues, Trump isn’t just selling out Ukraine, he’s tearing up every rule that’s kept europe relatively peaceful for the last 50 years and confirming to every tin-pot dictator that borders are just suggestions."

@cdarwin@c.imThe atmosphere of fear surrounding Trump’s cult of personality has kept Republicans from criticizing him

But consider the list of issues on which notable Republican officeholders and influencers are now breaking with Trump,
or at the very least fighting amongst themselves in ways that weaken his movement:

@cdarwin@c.imIn 2016, The Atlantic’s journalist
