it seems more like: people who believe Trump's sociopathy is as transparent to everyone in America as it is to them, think Biden is doing well. whereas, if you don't feel that way, or doubt it, as I do, it seems like a disaster for Biden.
i hope, of course, I'm wrong.
it makes sense to silently laugh and shake your head at Trump if the audience sees him the way you do: as a despicable narcissist who cares only about himself. it might not be wise if you're trying to reach people who don't already feel that way.
anyway, back to hoping this shit doesn't matter at all
I have had to adjust my sense of whether Trump's rancid petulance, defensiveness, aggression, and narcissism is a big liability. It should be. But is it?

This is exactly right.
Whatever else it is, labor-saving AI is a technical means of “de-skilling” new territories of production. Whether it (presently) “works” for creative endeavors is secondary to — or maybe made irrelevant by — the fact that its implementation is desirable to capital...
AI is desirable to capital because it promises to obsolete yet another class of specialized craftspeople — who, like other craft workers, have been advantaged in the wage struggle by dint of their perceived indispensability.

the trend of pro-social language providing cover for anti-social impulses is depressing as hell
we have not become more respectful of others, we've become more afraid of them! but we don't want to say that.
a lot of these ethical flare-ups that purport to be about respecting others' unknown life experiences, vulnerabilities, and statuses have an unspoken premise: that there's no way you could possibly find out anything about them, by I don't know, like, talking to them!

i guess ppl who pushed the gay lover theory of the Pelosi attack (e.g. conservative pundits, Don Jr, the CEO of twitter) will now say the SF police are lying, bc the only remotely honorable alternative would be to feel intense shame and apologize profusely justice.gov/opa/press-rele… Image
you'll say I shouldn't assume these people have normal brains / real emotions / the concept of honor, but if I had done something like this, and then found out how wrong I was 24 hours later, I would die of shame. I'd be unable to function. that would be it for me

“‘What do you do in this school?’ a teenage student asked her. ‘I’m a social work intern,’ she told him. ‘Oh,’ he said, comprehending. ‘You snatch babies.’”

Nice piece by @emilyecooke
in “PMC” terms: Social workers are a disciplinary arm of capital, obviously, but their profession is made out to be something else, something about justice, which is both an authorizing myth AND the terms on which social workers themselves come to resist their assigned role.
