A common feature of all of the worst elements on our side—from reactionary centrists like Starmer, to centrist columnists in the US, to anti-alarmists who scold us for being scared of Trump, the dirtbag left who can’t get over their hatred of ‘normie resist libs’—is the contempt they have for the people who actually vote for centre-left parties in the 21st century. This, too, is gender. In somewhat different ways, they desperately want a movement of big, burly steelworkers and rugged coalminers. But there are more manicurists than miners in the UK by a 2:1 margin. Their image of the working class is an aesthetic, often an entirely imagined one, unconnected from the reality of life for most working people. The actual centre-left coalition is bartenders, supermarket shelve stackers, and waitresses. People who live in a big city in a small rental with roommates. Nurses, teachers, office staff. Young aspirational couples in the suburbs. Students and recent grads. Progressive professionals and, yes, academics.

BOBBY MOYNIHAN: Improv is for people who are willing to spend their nights standing in a circle, making weird sounds with eight strangers for a couple of years, until they’re best friends. You really have to want to do the same thing over and over again, every Tuesday night, for five people.

Michael: On that point, many point to trade careers as an AI-proof choice. Given how much I can now do in electrical work and other areas around the house just with Claude at my side, I am not so sure. If I’m middle class and am facing an $800 plumber or electrician call, I might just use Claude. I love that I can take a picture and figure out everything I need to do to fix it.

If an AI executive is worried about plagiarism at scale, or replacing artists with AI-laundered content, or replicating societal biases, or making disinformation easier, that’s one thing. But if an AI executive is worried about Skynet/The Matrix/etc, they are SELLING AI, not seriously warning about it, with a side dish of trying to distract people from more present concerns about AI. (Or they could be very very stupid; can’t 100% rule that option out.) me on Twitter, May 30 2023:

Another recent benefit for Mr. Cuomo took place at the Southampton estate of the conservative media executive Jimmy Finkelstein and his wife, Pamela Gross, a former adviser to first lady Melania Trump. The event was co-hosted by Mr. Finkelstein’s brother, Andrew J. Stein, a former president of the City Council who in 2011 was placed on probation for three years for failure to pay his 2008 taxes. “It was a misdemeanor,” said Mr. Stein, who argued that the Democratic nominee’s supporters are mostly overprivileged. “If you look at the people who supported Mamdani the commie, they’re affluent!” he said. “The signs for him are up everywhere in Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo.” (Mr. Mamdani has also been called a “communist” by President Trump. He addressed the attack on “Meet the Press: “No, I am not.”)

Biden initially reassured voters that he understood the difference between national economic indicators and people’s lived experiences, campaigning on a trillion-dollar-plus investment in social welfare. By 2024, however, he had erased that distinction, frequently implying an equation between macroeconomic health and household economic well-being — just as he seemed to unlearn the critical difference between national security and human security.

Bergen Evans wrote in 1954: The author was employed as a courier by the Franco-Belgique Tours Company in the summer of 1930, the height of Mussolini's heyday, when a fascist guard rode on every train, and is willing to make an affidavit to the effect that most Italian trains on which he travelled were not on schedule—or near it. There must be thousands who can support this attestation. It's a trifle, but it's worth nailing down.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
