The #Midterms swung the pendulum: #Democrats took the House and Senate. Two years ago, after #Trump won, I wrote this. I didn’t change a word. Win or lose, our duty is the same. Socrates had tyrants. Epictetus had Nero. #Stoicism still works. Don’t Panic. snglrty.co/4z4di27

Congratulations to Dr @AbdulElSayed and to all US candidates who have defeated pro-aparheid lobby’s effort to elect politicians that support Israel’s ethnic cleansing and atrocity crimes in Palestine.
May this be the beginning of the end of the rule of lawlessness brought upon us

This is pure gold!
Abdul El-Sayed trolling Trump and JD Vance after winning Michigan’s Senate race:
“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.”
“Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”

MUST-WATCH: "Until they drive prices UP... Americans aren't complaining right now that prices are too LOW."
@AbdulElSayed masterfully schools Bari Weiss' CBS News(max) 60 minutes host @Douthat60 on the problem with living in corporatism, not capitalism -where monopolies and oligopolies reign supreme - and the importance of backing politicians who support the ability of labor UNIONS to push back so workers can earn more and live better lives... rather than politicians who are owned by corporations. (ahem, Mike Rogers)

Trump’s approval rating has collapsed and the MAGA coalition is fracturing. That means we are in an incredibly dangerous moment right now. Remember: Hitler was LOSING votes when he came to power: the Nazis dropped two million votes in November 1932. Two months later, establishment conservatives made him chancellor anyway, convinced he was weak enough to control.
We need to be extremely vigilant right now.
The plow made men powerful. The pill gave some back to women.
In 2020, Harvard’s Debora Spar told me #technology rewires who we marry, how we love, and what we think men and women are for.
So what will #AI do to love, #dating, and the #FutureOfWork?

In 2013, Chris Hables Gray saw a global #pandemic coming. In 2020, I brought him back to talk #cyborgs, surveillance capitalism, #AI vs. artificial stupidity, and Trump. Six years on, some of it lands differently. Which of his warnings have we walked into? snglrty.co/3XVKb0h

I followed this wise man today, and honestly, u should too.
The way he dismantles Israel’s carefully manufactured image and puts into words what so many are afraid to say is an absolute art form.
Every word hits. Go give him a follow @BenMoser123

Will AI erode human expertise?

In 2020, before ChatGPT, Juan Enriquez told me that much of what we call right depends on the tech we have. Change the tech, and our #ethics shift.
So which of our certainties will our grandkids condemn? And what happens when #AI learns today’s morality? snglrty.co/4esH6Mc

We were nearly killed two days ago.
Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation.
All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families.
We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this.
Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.
“The future creates the present.”
A #futurist for 40 years, Glen Hiemstra didn’t predict the probable. He built the preferred.
We treat #AI as inevitable. In 2020, Glen named humanity’s #1 problem. Now it’s obvious.
The #future is something we do.

December 2020. Pre-ChatGPT. Maria Farrell named the Prodigal #Techbro: the insider who builds the machine, quits, then gets paid to warn us about it.
Swap social media for #AI and look around.
Also: China’s autocracy as a service.

My old professor was nicknamed Dr. Doom.
Then he wrote a book on hope.
In 2020, he told me:
“Despair is only for those who know the future without any doubt. We do not.”
With #AI and #ClimateChange both accelerating, it hits harder now.

“Every time technology tries to stand in for ethics, we deny ourselves the opportunity for growth.”
Matthew Cole told me this about vegan meat.
Swap in #AI and it lands even harder.
Why the only #vegan sociologist I know distrusts the tech fix: snglrty.co/3ZN6fgl

Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
Kim Stanley Robinson told me the future discount rate isn’t science; it’s #Philosophy.
Every #ClimateChange model that says tomorrow matters less is a moral choice dressed up as math. Now swap in #AI. Did this #SciFi legend see 2026 coming?

The best book on #transhumanism I've read was written by a #posthumanist. Two years before the #AI boom, Francesca Ferrando and I asked if the human/transhuman line is even real, and whether tech utopias are the White Man's Burden in new clothes. snglrty.co/41LqeeH
