You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Lots of leopards eating faces comments etc but I am curious about the extent to which the discourse has been shifted to the right by propaganda because polls show that people were more progressive until the sustained campaign

We should not assume queerphobia is a fixed state of mind

Musk even said that FSD would be worth $100,000.

After slashing the price in half and practically begging customers to buy FSD, basically no one did. YipitData found that in 2024, only 2% of Tesla drivers who took the free FSD trial went on to buy it at this huge discount once the trial ended.

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.

These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

it's always so strange that Ben Affleck is a well-spoken, erudite person because every other aspect of his personality seems like the only words out of his mouth should be slurs muttered through broken teeth
Insights from Ben Affleck on AI:

• AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies.

• Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations.

• ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x.

• Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.

I think you could do a comparison like this for a lot of the men too. The intense and widespread body dysmorphia in the right is under-discussed.
They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

"If you make fun of me for letting ChatGPT coach my team you're sexist" is such an incredible argument
Won't speak for anyone else but if Rob Gale or Jonas Eidevall had copped to using AI for tactical advice we woulda launched them into the f*&%ing sun
