Feels like a historical rhyme to all the toolbars people would install into their browsers, only now it’s extensions.

We need leaders, but nobody wants to follow a nobody, and nobody with clout or name recognition or anything that might give them that necessary sense of authority wants to do anything with what they’ve got. And it doesn’t help that leftists don’t respond well to being told what to do by an authority figure.
I’m not saying we’re fucked, but I am saying it was never going to be easy and won’t be going forward no matter what metric you’re using to define movement or success.
The best thing an individual can do is do whatever they can in the sphere of their influence. That’s going to look like something different for everyone, too, so it’s hard to give specific advice or marching orders, however you want to frame it.
For me, it’s making sure to talk to members of my community and hold our mayor and council accountable by showing up to meetings and making our voices known. But I live somewhere where that means something. I’m lucky. I don’t know what to say to people who don’t feel like that’s an option for them.

I’ve got one; bought on a whim at the local farmer’s market from a beekeeper. I kind of hate it though.

- Comment on Trump administration may use federal agencies to fight state-level AI regulation 5 weeks ago:
Generate (speculative only) profit that they can’t do if you’re putting limits on what the AI can (theoretically, but that’s totally the same thing as real!) do.

- Comment on Pokémon Lazarus: When a Fan Game Becomes a Conversation 5 weeks ago:
Even that amount of interaction can be exhausting/taxing after a while. Hell, even passively observing hateful remarks, even if you never respond to them (which, generally, you shouldn’t. Don’t feed the trolls) is emotionally exhausting. My recommendation is to just curate your community. Make a private space wherever you want, invite your friends and the most positive fans (people who you would like to be friends with perhaps) and that’s it, close the door. YOU decide who gets to come into your house and speak to you.

- Comment on The car of the guy who insists that you have a terminal case of TDS 1 month ago:
It wasn’t THIS bad, but I remember recently a massive lifted truck revving its engines in our small town, flying massive trump flags on it went by while I was out for a walk with my husband. I commented, “Now there’s a guy who really wants you to know he’s an asshole” and this dude turned around and gave me the UGLIEST look and shook his head at me lmfao.

- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 1 month ago:
These people think they’re in the end times because the world is in a garbage fire state, that they probably helped cause, and now they want out instead of doing literally anything else, including just not making it worse.
- Comment on The People’s Answer to ICE: Crowdsourcing Community Defense 1 month ago:
“The 3.5% participation metric may be useful as a rule of thumb in most cases; however, other factors—momentum, organization, strategic leadership, and sustainability—are likely as important as large-scale participation in achieving movement success and are often precursors to achieving 3.5% participation.”
I feel like this needs to be underlined. Leadership figureheads, especially ones who can delegate or inspire others to act as sub-commanders, would be huge.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to communicate and organize hierarchy in the climate we’re in now.
