basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

We all need to get weirder, more nonsensical and fluid, and hornier, in response to the moralistic, rigid, fascistic, traditional backslide were trapped in.

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories
Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

‘She is ignorant of how ignorant she is’: JK Rowling responds to Emma Watson rift
The author has rebuffed conciliatory remarks made by the Harry Potter actor, saying Watson has ‘enthusiastically participated’ in the ‘trashing of women’s rights’
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has responded to Emma Watson’s recent remarks about their rift over transgender rights, saying the actor is “ignorant of how ignorant she is”.
Rowling’s post comes after a podcast interview with Watson, in which the latter said: “I really don’t believe that … holding the love and support and views that I have, mean[s] that I can’t and don’t treasure Jo and the person that I had personal experiences with.” Continue reading...

Once again we remind everyone that "a generous welfare state, but only for people we like, and who are like us" is an absolutely core proposition of European Fascism, and is absolutely what this means.
‘daily mail socialism’ is more pithy.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Charlie Kirk explicitly said that empathy was a modern invention and a problem. Would getting all weepy about him really be honoring his memory? I’m just trying to start a dialogue here, another thing he believed in.

Linehan’s court case making it very clear indeed exactly how wacky this stuff always was, and that people like him have always been about incoherent hatred. e.g. the Harry Potter lady and those ex-Guardian colonists aren’t more reasonable than this: they are *more careful about public perception*.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"
That's... usually not the case!
In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.
We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

One of the consequences - intended or unwitting - is that racial hatred in the precise form "go home paki" has now de facto been legalised in this country on X in the last 24 months years, so it would be difficult for the Labour government to water down the current inaction on racial hatred too much
