MTG is not your bigoted aunt or co-worker. She's an EXTREMELY wealthy fascist demagogue. You don't have to listen to random elite pundits and politicians lecturing you about "big tent" politics with respect to her.

You're not the audience for the MTG glow up happening because you (as an individual) would never be in an actual position to make common cause with her or to reject her in some nebulous "coalitional" political way. This is the elite speaking to other elites to shape elite opinion.

dems talked about project 2025 but so much of the effort was around "google project 2025" when they should have been saying
- what project 2025 was
- investing in seo so the dem narrative on project 2025 was the #1 result

When you consider how many didn’t know that Project 2025 was the plan, and that the whole premise behind it was to tax everyone who wasn’t rich, then you have a communications issue (which I blame the democrats consultants for, all of whom should never be let near a candidate again).👇
i think democrats should spend almost all their time cultivating and maintaining the majority of the voting populace who are not fox news junkies. this is not a difficult ask but people love to pretend like its the most impossible thing in the world.

I am always going to be the person who says you don’t go along with the pricks and fascism and you need to speak up. I said so about Colin Powell, I said so about Anthony Fauci and I say that about CBS (and the rest) now. This “quiet resistance from the inside” shit is liberal fantasy crap.

Thread. Also, I don't disagree with this generally; LLMs and/or generative "AI" is here to stay and being integrated into pre-existing programs/software in ways that are now inextricable. I do think there's a difference between it being a tool for, rather than an abdication of, personal creation.
Pandora opened the LLM box years ago, fam. It is not going back in the box. All you can do is put guardrails on it.

The AI bubble will pop. However, just as with the dot-com bubble, the underlying technology will stick around and eventually succeed. That said, it took the Nasdaq 15 years to recover from that, and it won't surprise me if it takes that long for our current market to recover.

The ONLY way this entire “exposè” works is to be absolutely silent and unquestioning about why white men disproportionately held these positio s for generations, why they STILL disproportionately hold these positions despite some minor changes in a single age-cohort. That silence is required.
I read that whole “it sucks to be a millennial white man thanks to DEI” piece and have some thoughts.
Overall: how sad to put that much work into making a case to be resentful, and a bad case at that. (Thread)

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.

What's amazing here is that MBS looks more uncomfortable about the direction the conversation took than Trump does.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
