The people who don't or can't experience empathy, who say empathy is a "woke virus" spreading in other people's minds, are like color-blind people declaring that the colors red and green don't exist and people who "believe" are crazy. And then tearing apart the world to take out the "fake" colors.

This is an excellent essay by Charlie Warzel about the new Facebook book, and it's important because, as he says, "American politics, in the second Trump administration especially, is as much a tech story as it is a political one."

It's not just a comical clown of a failed real-estate developer driving us toward tyranny. It's the tech bros.

@midgephoto @mls14 @benroyce @CStamp @RobotDiver @RegGuy Half White half African man was elected. White woman was technically elected but lost the electoral. Half Desi half Black woman could not pull popular or electoral.

And don’t let them tell you it was Palestine either. Bullshit. Palestine has been an issue since the second war of Gaza 1899. To blame a black woman for an ongoing genocide she walked into? Misogynoir.

Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: web.archive.org/web/2025031022

I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

We went to our #GOP Representative Chuck Edwards' Townhall tonight in #Asheville. Several thousand people, only a few hundred let in. We made do outside with a bunch of like-minded folks.

I hope those who got in gave him "what for" as my dad would say.

A young woman stands in a parking lot on a sunny evening, holding a sign over her head that reads "Stop obsessing over my daughters' bodies you absolute freaks!" and I really think that says it all. As this was held at 5:00, difficult for working people, the crowd skewed older so it was great to see some younger folk. Still Asheville, so 95% white.
Several older people in line, a man holds a sign in front of his face that says in red and blue "Congress do your jobs"
A woman in a blue jacket holds a large sign in front of her face that reads "Fire Musk" in letters that look quite inflamed (black with red shadows.)
This was on of my favorites. An older, rather portly man is holding his sign while standing on the sidewalk of a parking lot. Some of the AB Tech buildings, including the parking garage are behind him. His sign reads "Morons Are Governing America" so that the first letters line up to read MAGA vertically. He was very proud of his sign.
