The very first comment:

Unless you believe in magic, the human brain proves that human level general intelligence is possible in our physical universe, running on a system based on the laws of said physical universe. Given that, there's no particular reason to think that "what the brain does" OR a reasonably close approximation, can't be done on another "system based on the laws of our physical universe."

It's actually, "the economic changes they made have no impact on me and instead seem targeted at minorities"

Chalk it up to a half-century of reactionary "welfare queen" propaganda, the truth is that democrats aren't addressing the grievances of the working class and the Republicans are. Those grievances dont just go away if you stop talking about brown and trans people. Even if you're willing to throw them under the bus - those voters will just vote for the person actually running them over.

Either democrats become as fascist as the Republicans, or they break through to those reactionary voters by proving that they're willing to break some billionare kneecaps and make life better for everyone, not just the most visibly impoverished.

Democrats won't, though. They'll fight tooth and nail against the popular energy in their own base in order to keep their tenuous relationship with donors like Ackmann, and that will guarantee their loss.

Of course not, that's some commie shit.

The refrain is more like, "the dems don't actually want to help us, they're just distracting us with performative outrage"

Did you know that it's illegal to say, "I wish someone would kill the president of the united states"?

Im not saying it, im just letting you know that it's illegal. Like a public service announcement.

Force ranked choice voting by..... loudly supporting them no matter what they do?

Force is a relative concept, it seems

My BIL who works in ecology asked me why people are freaking out about low birthing rates, because in his area of specialty most people are still talking about the need to slow population growth down.

The amazing thing is that there is no Thalmann. Our Hindenburg is so disliked that nobody has to split the vote for him to lose.

I agree though, fuck private providers

If it was a public utility i'd feel very differently.

 

Driving the news: On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

  • The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.

  • New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."

  • Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."

Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November's general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who's also running as an independent.

I heard the altar call of the rocket man

as he pleaded on the mount

then were we like those who dream

as the tired tiger jumped through hoops of fire

one last time for the crowd

then were we like those who dream

I saw containerships of man's demise

ride tidal waves to hell

then were we like those who dream

and the whales that did swim by they did not blink

or wish us well

then were we like those who dreamed

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul inside you

time's jus a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

jus songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here I'm earning

and on the 8th day man made a machine

likened to his image

then were we like those who dream

and he argued whether or whether not

it would kill and eat his village then were they like those who dream

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul within you time's just a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

just songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here I'm earning

I saw the ministers of relevant humanity

trade cards

then were they like those who dream

and I looked into that valley and I knew it would be hard

then were we like those who dream

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul within you

time's just a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

just songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here worth earning
