Elon is worse than a genocidal apartheid warlord (though he’s very knowledgeable about apartheid)
Two most popular politicians on this list are Bernie (the rare double-digit positive opinion) and AOC. Elon Musk is one of the most unpopular people in the world.

Someone took issue with me saying that American male Protestants are unique in how they've removed themselves from aesthetics. I thought it was obvs that I'm talking about fashion and interior decor, which today are coded as "gay interests," not paintings or architecture.

Part of how we got fascism in the United States is that a bunch of Silicon Valley oligarchs lost their collective mind in 2020 and radicalized into techno-fascists on group chats. Marc Andreesen is the epicenter of this shift.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.
