Steve Buscemi

The US government is stupid.

But the need to keep an eye on this guy anyway.

Trump and MAGAtrash are routinely portrayed as simultaneously weak and strong too. It’s just the nature of propaganda.

For most of my lifetime, any American screeching about the President arming NATO allies in order to prevent Russian expansion into Europe would have been seen as a traitor.

Lead poisoning is a helluva drug.

Hit the Pause Button on Medicare for a couple of years. Literally pay nothing. And a lot of our old people problem will disappear.

Don’t get defensive about this.

AI will gobble up all intellectual property and shit out something similar. Over and over over.

Stopping it isn’t an option. And it isn’t society’s job to protect intellectual property owners from new technology in the first place.

Living creators will be able to make a humble living through live appearances and physical media, the same as they have for the last couple of centuries.

This isn’t about your ego, peanut. Your position is the wrong one.

Nah, you’re wrong. Fuck protecting creators from AI. Let the internet become a circlejerk of bots gobbling each other’s digital cum.

When a good comedian comes along, I’ll go see a live performance. The same goes for musicians, painters, novelists, whoever. Anyone old enough to remember the internet of the '90s will tell you what a derivative shithole it has become already. It’s only getting worse. Artists will adapt and monetize things that AI can’t ruin the market for.

Analog human culture can be fun in ways that no chatbot will ever know.

Does she own the rights to his work by chance?

Excellent point.

I listened to the first five minutes, and it’s pretty similar to Carlin’s later work.

I’m not clutching my pearls about this any more than Steamboat Willie going into the public domain.

Intellectual property rights are silly, and protecting dead entertainers’ legacies is a waste of time. If a Carlinbot makes a good joke, good for the Carlinbot. What I heard wasn’t very impressive.

When is your Netflix stand-up special going to be released?

And yet, I’m encouraging people to organize for self-defense.

Sometimes strangers have your best interests in mind more than you do.

Currently, I bankroll and organize a group of ESL teachers to teach English and the basics of the USCIS citizenship test to immigrants. Is that community organizing?

I’ve done other work around labor and anti-war over the years.

Fetish stuff isn’t my bag, but I know a bunch of repressed Republican guys who can’t wait to get their big, meaty paws on a few femboys.

Then scrub your fucking transition. I’ve done a decent job of scrambling my online identity so that it appears more like noise than signal. I get junkmail addressed to burner jokenames. And I’m a straight, white male. I just like my privacy.

Nothing is going to be handed to you. Keep a low profile and organize among people you trust. This isn’t a fucking game. They want to kill you (probably rape you first), and you need to avoid that.

As a straight, white man, I don’t sweat it personally. I’ll be the last one thrown into a camp.

But the people who are more at risk need to get practical with their planning. Community organizing is a great place to start. And I’m not taking violence off the table if it’s in self-defense. But fantasizing online about taking up arms against the christo-fascists while skipping the planning stage and training is just going to get a lot of femboys raped and killed.

But the Republicans are the ones who put in the time and effort while the left is smoking doobies, playing their bongos, and masturbating.

#¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It takes more than having a majority.

edit: The comment above this is literally hinting at violence.

Organizing around issues and engaging in direct action as well as political action is a good first step before we start plotting how to “disappear” people and wage war.
