Gold, just gold (phrase).

I was looking for something and found this political (left) magazine. Some articles definitely were interesting!

I recall there was interesting essay from inside of one of those hi-tech startups ....
https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-artificial-intelligentsia-timms - this.

Happy reading ... (not april 1st)

Well... that happened.

Here's a better question, why am I seeing something similar to Holocaust Denial?

 Here's another question; should I call the image below a racially and sexually segregated set of graduation ceremonies? It's even got its own group for low income graduates.

By the way this is apparently from the Columbia University in the City of New York.

G5 looks decent, and the only people who complain are the ones that are still butthurt that G4 couldn't go on indefinitely without inevitably dying on its own accord.

As months turn to years since the 2020 election I can’t help but worry we’ve only delayed America’s descent into authoritarianism by a few years.

Oh, well, not watched it (I prefer TEXT) but interesting development none the less .... (I recall at least some early anime fans in USA become anime fans because they wanted SERIOUS cartoons /other/outside view on some issues .... today anime watching is not sign of you being actively forward looking, I'm afraid ... but may be it can be made so again)

There's a consensus in the media that the election results so far show that, if the Republicans fail to win control of the Senate, it can be blamed on Trump-endorsed candidates winning primaries and losing the general election. (See some quantitative reporting here.) I'm not quite ready to say I told you so, partly

I guess this is another blog about myself. Whether or not I'm full of myself or not depends on where you're standing. My therapist said this might help with my sociopathic tendencies but if I'm being honest, he doesn't have any reason to let me get better so why would he give me good advice. Well, I guess it can't hurt things.

A quote from a friend that truly describes what you're about to read.

When 6 years ago your friend was talking about politics, and you were talking about dolphins. Now, he talks about dolphins, and you (I) talk about politics ...

So I said I would probably return to political writing. While some of these questions have an accusitory tone, actually yes, I will entertain answers for them. Just don't be surprised if you don't immediately win the argument by being offended, or by just making an attempt to argue at all.

I wanna write a comedy story based on this year's United States' presidential election.

Before you get mad, let me explain this; it's not going to let any of the pony candidates get away unscathed, and it won't be for president, more like prime minister.

It's gonna be told from the perspective of the reader in pony form, watching television, more specifically; The Later Show with Righteous Rhetoric, featuring Princess Luna's son as the guest star for the night.

Last night I got in a fight on Reddit with Nazis.

Actual, factual Nazis.

Exactly as the title states.
I'm also just venting a bit. I remember when this community was all about love and tolerance, but the second it gets political, all the things we used to say and stand by just go right out the window. Jeez, reminds me this guy, who left the community because of the toxicity.

With the people on Insta
And Facebook all getting a stick up their rear,
It's the most political time of the year.

It's the most divisive season of all,
Marches, protests, and Tweets
And where nobody's sweet to opponents in Fall!
It's the most divisive season of all!

Political parties for roasting,
And candidates coasting
Along as they say, "I don't know."
Neckbeards who never get it
Posting tales over Reddit
Of things that Trump said long ago.

Black lives matter. If you don't agree, unfollow me.

I usually try to keep politics out of my fimfic life, but it's really important to make a stand. I can't be at the protests right now, but I can donate (here's a good resource, if you haven't seen it already), and I can spread the word, and I can be here for those who need me.

I support the protests. I wish I could support them more.

To date, "Something We Need to Talk About" is one of my most engaged-with journals. It went about as well as I expected. That said, it has not and will not discourage me.

My beliefs on the political stage are a big part of who I am not only as a person but as a writer and a member of this community. Being silent about important issues that directly impact this fandom serves nobody. For this reason, I will continue to speak about these issues as I see fit.

I could not contain my laughter at these comical proposals.

Well, this is it. Midterms are tomorrow, and depending on the results of this election, it could radically alter the course of the next two years. It took a bit of thought, but I've finally decided on who I'm going to vote for. I won't disclose the specifics, partly because I feel no need to risk alienating some of my followers, and partly because I don't have much of an axe to grind either way, as I'm not exactly enamored with either side, but I want to urge you, if you haven't already done
