On the occasion of this disgusting ruling allowing Christians to torture kids, this prophesy to parents who believe their children are their possessions.

Some prophesies are a curse. This one will be.

This is my curse upon the would-be owners of the world.

On the vast expanse between owning something and having it, and why our children are not possessions.

Viktor Orban is waging cognitive warfare on a scale no one else has tried before. "Emotions are high because the stakes are high. If he succeeds, he will once again blaze a path that others will follow. And if he loses, an era comes to an end." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Will it work? I don’t know. But it is certainly better than preemptively conceding ground to the Right’s claims that they deserve disproportionate power as representatives of “the people.”

It is time for (small-d) democrats to assert their right to define what “real America” should be going forward.

Democrats Say Rep. Eric Swalwell Personally Pitched His Political AI Startup to Lawmakers

But instead we get to work forever, own no property and watch as rich ancient white supremacists foil every attempt we make to right the ship because exploiting people for profit is all that matters to them. Even if it means they will rule atop a mountain of bones.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

This is one of the main aspects of my philosophical opposition to "generative AI" and large language models. I don't care how "useful" they might be. Making my life easier or more productive isn't a sufficient justification to submit myself to a system that fundamentally does not respect anyone's unique experience and perspective. It's a system that's biased to enforce cultural conformity and stagnation, rather than embracing diversity and evolution.

Calling Trump and MAGA 'fascist' out loud was once a surefire way to be mocked and dismissed from left, right, or center. But as we discussed here, fascism isn’t an insult — it’s an analytical framework that both explains why Trump and MAGA are doing what they do, and lets us anticipate what they will do."
