Always funny to me that Yarvin is held up as the great intellect of the New Right and then when he argues for stuff it's this - here's some etymology for a synonym of a word you're using, so we gotta have a tyrant -- checkmate libs. Behold the philosopher.
First, the government needs to be run top-down from the Oval Office. This is why we call it the “executive” branch. “Executive” is a literal synonym of “monarchical”—from “mono,” meaning “one,” and “archy,” meaning “regime.” “Autocratic” is fine too. The “executive branch” is the “autocratic branch,” or should be if English is English. Libs: if these words don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating
" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift. At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely. Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math. Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

Bluesky should turn on ads, but only in the Discover feed. Every time you reply to some random account you've never seen before, your ad load goes up by 5%.

It should then distribute the profits from those ads to the recipients of those low-information replies.

Reminder, this proclamation is "real" (it was really, really, for realsies made by a practicing Discordian Pope & POEE member-in-good-standing):
Alt text: A parody ecclesiastical proclamation styled like an old formal decree. Centered bold text reads: "KANYE WEST IS OFFICIALLY BANNED AND EXCOMMUNICATEED FROM THE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY." Below, it declares the ban to be an "Episcopal Proclamation" by "Prof. Cramulus, KSC & The Floating Librarians of Mu." Surrounding the text are various Discordian and esoteric symbols: a lightning bolt, the five-fingered hand of Eris, a stylized apple-wielding Greek goddess figure labeled "Floating Librarians," and POEE (Paratheo-Anametamystikhood Of Eris Esoteric) certification. Other Discordian iconography includes the Sacred Chao's pentagon and golden apple aspects, an "HA" laughter stamp, and an all-seeing eye. The ODD# at the bottom is given as “II(e)/4,ii; 16Aft3188.” Overall, the tone is satirical and aligned with Discordian mock-religious absurdity. Generated with BSky AltText CustomGPT.

the story of how Ziz ended up precisely where they did, and the communities and trends that influenced her, is a sort of Rosetta Stone for how online communities produce a milieu that breeds cults faster than the New York City sewer system breeds rats

There's been so much attention to how Facebook/Twitter algorithms have been hijacked to advance conservative agenda, but little focus on Reddit.

Underlying the Lively story is a bigger one about how Reddit is manipulated to control narratives and silence dissent.

history is wild, for eg. if Pythagoras hadn't successfully taken credit for a theorem he had nothing to do with, he'd be remembered as a skeevy af cult leader who claimed he could speak to animals, time travel, killed an asp with a venomous bite and insisted that fava beans are literally evil

so the thing is

just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming

it's actually not helpful

Oh, per @nbcnews.com: Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship.

Note: Quakers were some of the earliest supporters of Sanctuary, even putting out a booklet on the topic in 1984 (it's still available). www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.
