This article quotes Jason Lee Van Dyke, a self-described fascist who I found participated in a Patriot Front private chat room, to say he is not a member of Patriot Front and to defend Patriot Front's reputation. The article does not mention his fascist beliefs or his participation in the chat room.

Patriot Front, a White supremacist group, has been quietly building a 124-acre compound in the mountains of east Tennessee, where they train members and host fight clubs. https://cnn.it/44rpU6V

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

the guardian and observer quite literally have/had a transphobia working group dedicated to pushing the org to be more transphobic

Idk if it is still active as many of the members have left the guardian entirely now.

They pumped you (full of bigotry) and dumped you. And we told you they would.
With the world in flux, our commitment to clear, agenda-free reporting has never been stronger.

Back factual reporting by supporting the Guardian today. theguardian.com/support/eoy-sc

politicians: we don't want toilet police, just sensible policy on trans people

sensible policy on trans people, apparently:
In order to "protect women" Texas made it so that women have to go through armed guards with an ID check. They literally created a potty police.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Cyberpunk, for all its faults, was 100% made by people who have lived lives. Who have known poverty, or loss, or sexual desire, or something! Anything!

Starfield feels like a game designed by Mormons who have never left their cul de sac and decided to lecture me about The Human Experience.

I’m thrilled that Dick Van Dyke made it to 100 years old, and I also find it hilarious that he’s apparently too old to play with LEGO. Him specifically.😆

Justin Webb, in a far more consequential position as presenter of a flagship news programme, has repeatedly violated impartiality rules. If he had a similar warning, it clearly had no effect and he’s been allowed to continue.

Urbanists will talk about how cars are a machine that makes you selfish and crazy, and I know it’s easy to roll your eyes at that but if you give drivers the ability to comment they will say “yes I am selfish and crazy”

These are the 'strategy tips' centrist liberals have been passing back and forth to one another over the Atlantic for at least a decade now as they crowd out and suffocate insurgent left/progressive challengers.

How are they doing? What grade would you give them? Do things seem to be improving?

aside from the sexual predation of women which is, you know, the main thing, the first time i met max landis he said "fag" at the dinner table and i told him pretty gently given the circumstances to watch his mouth and he said it was fine because he was "gay for a year in college"

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money
