Writer, migrant, surprisingly nice in person. Old queer. I would rather be blocked than tone policed. More meme literate than I should be at this age. I mainly shitpost, then sometimes make you cry.

Young people are waking up every day to media about war, genocides, dead children. They are unsure of being able to make a living, scared by debt, violence, addiction, homelessness. They are unsure if the burning planet will even support their lives. They are struggling for secure basic housing after having their lives upended by a pandemic...

meanwhile the NYT:

I'm just kind of wondering what editor let "legally killed child" through and when the last time they got a full eight hours of sleep was.

The only folks for whom house arrest isn't a punishment are those who live in palaces with attached infinity pools and golf courses.

(Silvio Berlusconi fought off the inevitable guilty verdict until he aged past Italy's 70 year old limit for prison: then he served two years under house arrest—in his bunga-bunga mansion.)

Just as fines (with no alternative sentence) are the ticket price of wrongdoing for the wealthy rather than the punishment they are for ordinary folks.

@cstross well, i've definitely known people for whom the stay in house orders for covid were a dream come true. read all the books! talk to none of the humans!

@cstross fair, fair, but when they do maybe some light hacking here and there, can't say i know of anyone who did that, and then pray for house confinement, even without computer, over having to talk to people 😂

@cstross i suppose i know a disproportionate number of people who like to commit all their crimes from the comfort of home

So per Mission Local (https://missionlocal.org/2024/05/what-was-the-plan-understaffed-overcrowded-sf-jails/) 50% of the jail inmates in San Francisco are black.

SF's population is slightly less than 6% black.

So in case you were worried that places like Louisiana or Alabama were the most racist in the nation, put your mind at ease.

Are there legit AI safety issues? of-fucking-course there are. But they're a lot more Therac-25 than HAL 9000.

One thing that's still more fun about Twitter is the batshit insane arguments that sometimes find you. I just had some guys going at me for a while because he thinks Isreal is somehow behind the Sudanese civil war?

And that I should, I think, blame the Israelis for the Sudanese civil war? Anyway, I brought up UAE (who back Hemedti) and then he just kept sending me screenshots of my my tweets with kind of random highlighting, like it was proof of.. something.

Apparently I think according to this guy I'm supposed to beleive that Israel is somehow behind the conflict in Sudan, which doesn't even make sense? When it's like a known thing that the UAE is like hip deep in this bullshit? And then he started bringing up the DRC for some reason?

Man everyone gets called antisemitic but then you meet a real one, a real jewish conspiracy nutter, and it's a bit shocking.

My main historical conspiracy theory is that it's all the fault of the English, except for the bits that are the fault of the French. Well, ok, the Iberian peninsula and the Dutch are at fault as well, but earlier.

@slothrop they had sooooo many secret treaties back then. just because they printed them in history books like 50 years later doesn't make it not a conspiracy theory, it makes it a successful one.

Imagine living in a world where the only thing worse than genocide is not getting the world's blessing for doing your own genocide.

I kind of feel like I'm living in an age where every facet or quirk of human experience or personality is pathologized, treated, drugged and hash-tagged as fast as possible.

It's ok to just be a little different, to be yourself and have joys and problems without trying to find them in a medical manual so that people believe they're real qualities. If people won't accept your quirks without a DX, fuck 'em. Ugh. This probably means I'm officially old.
