This convo is mad confusing, y’all. VBNMW needs to be abolished from the lexicon. Y’all realize MTG could run Dem, right? Why not? There are Dems who work with MAGA and fascists all the time. MAGA was a bipartisan creation. Does VBNMW applies to them, also. That’s why we have to drop it.
Okay, but here is what is going to happen: mainstream candidates are going to win primaries, and if we say “vote blue no matter who,” people will accuse us of saying it as a secret trick to boost moderates. Establishing VBNMW NOW, before the primary, makes it clear the obligation is universal.
I'm not gonna entertain a single discussion about the general before the primary. All our focus should be on the primary & getting the people we want elected. Focusing on the primary is positive. Imagining possible bad choices in the general is self defeating at this point

If you don’t know why this man’s a legend, you got some reading to do. If you don’t know why he’s a problem, you got some reading to do. Rest in power, all power to all the people. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

It’s wild what you find just casually browsing J Mail. JE, Bill Gates, and astrophysicist Lowell Wood were casually emailing each other about using Somali pirates to build sea stead nations off the coast back in 2011. They seemed pretty interested in Thiel’s Seasteasteading Institute. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Easily my worst take from the past two years, geez… 🤣
Is anyone getting the feeling we’ll hear a lot less about AI this year? Maybe wishful thinking… 🤔

So apparently Drake thinks Not Like Us is antisemitic. We’ve come full circle.

If you’re not familiar, take a quick read. Between Rhodesia, South Africa, and Israel, the very worst of the colonial spirit is alive, doing quite well, and ascendant in the US today.
i think this is pretty much right. not a shock that the political economy of apartheid south africa produced a bunch of reactionaries who hope to replicate that political economy for the 21st century www.ft.com/content/cfbf...
Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa
The parallels between South Africa then and the US today are striking

My IG peeps might recognize. I’ll have some updates on this project soon. It’s the seed of an upcoming short film project I’m hoping to start next year. Stay tuned!

Just for the record, the only way to address American healthcare that doesn’t end in mass tragedy is single-payer. No public option, no private-public partnerships, just government healthcare for everyone plane and simple. Socialize medicine now. ✊🏽

They’re all doing it. Shameful.

At some point ambition runs headlong into physics. Usually doesn’t end well for ambition.
We're soooo close to the bubble bursting. There are so many signs

In case you were on the fence about the parasitic villainy of American healthcare, hope this helps you hop off that fence.
