media discourse on inflation has been awful, driven by pro-trump tendencies and their own ignorance. entire election seemed to turn on inflation, but there was little education on how to control it (did a single major story mention that raising taxes cuts inflation?) or why deflation is worse

I think the early blog guys benefited from the same sort of incentives that allowed a generation of old-west flimflam artists to sell muskrat oil to frontiersmen

In 2016, as Chicago mayor, Emanuel banned city employees from making most trips at the city’s expense to North Carolina, which banned trans people from using the bathroom that aligned with their gender.

He also backed an ordinance blocking any Chicago business from imposing similar bans.
Rahm Emanuel criticized Dems for talking about "pronouns," but Megyn Kelly is the first interviewer I've seen drill down for his views.

Boys + girls are "fundamentally, physically different." No "men claiming they're women" in women's prisons.

"Can a man become a woman? No."

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

Why doesn't the five/hannity and colmes thing work in reverse? Like forward looking left wingers and a right wing dinosaur do the news.

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

the dominant ideology of Silicon Valley right now is "god does not exist, but He soon will, and He will be our slave"

There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk)

Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.

A triumph of the will if you will
but, anyway, Oswald's act is a black triumph of individual agency -- the proverbial "lone gunman" -- over the power of corporate agency as represented by the conspiracy

The cosmic absurdity is that Oswald was the singular free agent in what was otherwise a network of strange and baroque machinations

The CEO of ADL, fresh off defending Nazi salutes and one day after public shaming forced him to drop out of a conference packed with Nazis, is now joining the fascist campaign to dismantle and destroy Wikipedia on behalf of Nazi oligarchs.
