Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

It's gonna be underrated in the historiography, if we still have that in the future, how lucky Trump et al were to have found themselves opposed by this group of Democrats. A stoppable force meets a moveable, even conciliatory, object.

Truly psychotic that the Democratic Party currently solely exists to save Republicans from the fallout of their own fires, and take 100% of the the blame while guaranteeing multigenerational crisis and disaster for years to come.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

If democrats at the national level cave to Trump, that is the end of the country, full stop.
The democrats are already putting out feelers for how and when they can capitulate because they are cowards.
If and when they do capitulate, they will fully have transformed into controlled opposition.

ICE is a profit driver for the private prisons, and large corporations like Amazon, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, and FedEx who spend millions paying off politicians to get ICE contracts.
We can’t abolish ICE until we end corporate and dark money in politics.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Nintendo's deal is copying Disney. It's why they tell stories about how Zelda was inspired by Miyamoto exploring caves as a child instead of just copying Tower of Druaga, for instance. It's why they refuse to talk about other studios. They want to lock you in from childhood and create disney adults.
Anyways I visited the Nintendo museum last year- seeing its history in perspective made me realize games are more of a means to an end for them - IP development in the hopes of becoming a Disney. They had some artistic streaks in 80s-00s but I think it's mostly gone now in favor of growing more

it's pretty straightforward: in order for society to improve, billionaires will have to have less money. they don't want that, so they are rooting on the end of civilization instead. they don't have special knowledge, they just think it sounds cool to live as a king in the wasteland

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."
