Billhelm has spent all day insisting that by this he simply means a crude intercomparison of the respective number of participants at street demonstrations. But that is not what he said: I'm sorry but the one ranking higher on a "scale of historical notability" is the one that had a king.
No Kings is like an order of magnitude bigger than the civil rights movement, if you want to place it on a scale of historically notable activism. What’s your plan though? I’m all ears!
it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.
superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

I feel like in terms of gates, Hitlergate has to be the worst one you can get or at least in the top 5.
A new analysis shredded Vice President JD Vance's dismissal of outrage over a leaked Young Republicans group chat containing racist and Hitler‐admiring messages, in which he referred to the participants as "kids" and argued people were overreacting.

I think the biggest difference between The Internet Then and The Internet Now is how Being Mad Online used to be the one thing you could never admit to, under pain of death, and now, Being Mad Online is a whole career path with a skill tree and an ever-expanding variety of debuffs.

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

If we understand late 19th century antisemitism not merely as a hatred of Jews qua Jews, but a specific worldview in which Jews stand for transnational ideologies threatening the hard borders of the nation-state, we can see why Jewish nationalists had to reinvent antisemitism from first principles.
I recall the lads agreed: even a trace, a suspicion of racism in public life was utterly unacceptable and it all had to be annihilated to the subsoil with nuclear weapons. Also, here’s a BBC and Times pundit doing more fash crank racism in one tweet than most humans will do in their entire lives.

I know I'm extrapolating and there's no reason to think this is going to achieve national prominence but my gut says we're gonna have congressional hearings and Chuck Grassley is going to be told what Futanari is.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
