If we lose perspective that computer systems are machines, we’re fucked. Stop personifying computer systems just because they make you feel things. JFC.

“Many of you feel bad for this lamp. That is because you crazy [sic]. It has no feelings…”

These people are threats to our actual lives.

I wish the jokes would stop tbh, keep joking and people keep thinking it isn’t that serious. Until they stop, people feel safe doing nothing. People need to stop feeling safe, because they fucking aren’t. I keep watching clips of Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver making the same satirical jokes they always have and it boggles my mind they’re still cracking jokes while America is being torn apart. What’s the benefit in that?

Yes, it is. It’s an actual fascist takeover by the right, of the most powerful nation on earth. The heart of democracy is being stopped. People keep going about their lives like this is another fucking Tuesday.

So now all regulatory policy has to through the fucking gauntlet of legislative process where the wealthy will just veto everything that doesn’t benefit them…this nation is captured beyond belief.
