I keep getting asked why I haven't written a piece on the Bryce Mitchell stuff. Truth is, I've been writing about the MMA-to-Nazi pipeline for nearly a decade, including how it festers in the UFC.
This isn't new. This is the norm.

Blood, Sweat, Hate: MMA's festering neo-Nazi problem
Extremists are using the sport’s counter-culture mystique to radicalize disenfranchised young men and to provide them a shared space to spread hate. Meanwhile, the UFC is also profiting off hate.

If the killer played Among Us and that drove him to kill according to the media, then considering how well that game sold, every healthcare CEO should be rightfully shitting themselves.

I really need to post more, but I’ve never really had a great routine for social media. How do people get into the habit without it feeling like *work*?

I made a bet with myself that the linked article didn’t mention healthcare or medical insurance complications for part-time or temp workers at all.

Honestly, if you object to a movie having sharks in the Colosseum, I appreciate your historical dedication, but you probably hate fun.
I keep seeing reviews of GLADIATOR II that say “it’s not nearly as weighty and thoughtful as the original. It’s very silly and they put SHARKS in the colosseum” and to me, these are all positives.

It’s bone-chilling the extent to which half the country voted, and got, cruelty personified. Not hidden, not implied, but outright promised, with gusto and giggling.
But I’m not at all surprised.

Instead of doing something sensible like bringing CA’s data privacy laws nationwide to protect everyone against every overzealous tech company, we’re going to specifically target TikTok because of vibes and red-scare? Really?

Hey. Yeah, you, hey: if you are not currently sick or disabled, one day you will be, and you will wish you lived in a world that had the resources and culture to make your life as full and thriving and happy as anyone else's. You will want that world, and you can start helping make it, right now.

Someday, someone will come up with an app to cross-post on social media without it being a security/safety nightmare.
Until then, we’re all just stuck in the attention/energy draining whirlpool of everything it takes to exist online.

Would I be completely out to lunch if I said that this place seems to have brought the combative nature of conversations from The Other Place with it, whereas Threads seems to mostly be people openly grateful that (for now) it remains chill and friendly, despite its size?
