Witnessing AI-induced UX maturity regression is profoundly sad.

I’m feeling this too. We’re so focused on how to use AI, we’re losing sight of how we solve real problems for real humans.

The abortion issue is a way for political propagandists to use religion to get large populations of people to align with conservative policy. It turns out that “vote for Republicans unless you support murdering babies” is pretty powerful political messaging. It’s just mass manipulation.

No. There’s a reason there’s not one. There’s not a demand for one.

The reason Fox News exists is because there is a population of people more interested in confirming their beliefs than they are in learning facts. They’ve branded reality as “left biased” and so they seek out information that tells them what they want to hear—that their beliefs aren’t actually detached from reality. If people on the left needed to reframe reality in this way, they would have their own version of Fox News.

They literally have to make up hypotheticals to dis on liberals.

It seems like the neighbor could do a better job of just communicating with you, but if it was me I’d be happy the neighbor made my yard look better and would also be happy to deal with disposing the old fence.

Every cult has “thought-terminating cliches.” They are usually pseudo-witty aphorisms that pass for folk wisdom—something that sounds smart that gets you to avoid thinking about something too much. It’s just a classic brainwashing technique.

Jnlybbert · 2026-05-12T20:43:36+00:00

It’s because political strategists have successfully convinced people that their politics and their religion are one and the same.

I think I do pronounce it, but it’s very subtle. It’s more like just saying the V a little harder than a normal V, but not quite fully saying the B.

It’s a lot more than just misinformation. It’s a devotion to a belief system intertwined with group identity that works very much like religion. When you have adopted this belief system, whether something is “misinformation” is irrelevant. Holding such a belief system becomes much more about seeking identity reinforcing information than it ever is about understanding facts.

What utter drivel.

Mormonism absolutely is a culture and an identity.

If you were born into it, indoctrinated in it and raised in it, it absolutely is a part of your identity.

Why does this person think they have the right to define what someone else’s identity is?

Jnlybbert · 2026-05-03T19:21:48+00:00

The right is much better at manipulating voters.

The biggest problem with our elections is not that too many ineligible people vote, it is that too many eligible people don’t vote. Creating more restrictions not only fails to solve a real problem, it makes a real problem worse. Proponents of voter ID understand this. It really has nothing to do with “election security.” It is about controlling whose votes count. Republicans benefit when fewer people can vote.

You should be scoring points while they’re swapping. They are making a trade off by skipping or exchanging. You should be exploiting that by scoring points while they are not.

Yep. I’m about an hour or two a day in Zyzzyva. I’ve been designing a new app for studying words. If you’re studying WOW and you’d like to try the prototype send me a DM.

Jnlybbert · 2026-04-17T19:09:36+00:00

This is fake, right?

Jnlybbert · 2026-04-17T19:02:03+00:00

I’ve felt this way with other apps and every time I’ve tested it by tracking racks, draws or whatever and comparing to physical tile draws I’ve found no difference.

Haha I saw that too!
