and why the future may be local
meet providence assemblyperson “lyle culpepper.” please give they/them your attention as they speak on the recent shooting at brown university.

obviously, this presser would seem to raise any number of quite serious concerns, but i’d like to raise one that an awful lot of people online seem to be missing:
there is literally no parody of woke belief so absurd that it cannot be readily mistaken for reality if one lacks knowledge of a speaker’s priors (or even of their reality)
poe’s law has come into full flower.
there is no “lyle culpepper.” this is not even a person. it’s an AI construct, 1’s and 0’s playing make beleive with politics and humanity alike. there is no there there, just ghosts in the machine and gags on the reel.
It’s either juice, Allahu Akbar or trannie for the suspect?
It got up to 50 with rain washing the snow away, today 30s with howling wind and more snow, I love it!
