I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

    This really fits my two hot takes about how we need to fix the left:

    • (1) end purity tests: an imperfect ally is still an ally.
    • (2) we need to appeal to centrists more; ± straight cis white men feel alienated when we talk about privilege as though it’s a bad thing. We could talk about privilege as though it’s a great thing that you should be proud of instead. Then we’d have privileged allies, which would be really helpful.

      I think item 1 would be enough to vastly improve the left’s appeal to centrists, and to liberals other liberals call centrist for not being liberal enough. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
