Liberals: vote for us, we are diet fascism, we are the lesser evil! We reduce harm!

It’s been the siren call for the last 400 years.

My radicalisation just continues and deepens.

What deplatforming actually happened that this writer is referring to? “We didn’t deplatform anyone. Therefore deplatforming bad” ???

Makes sense. Same slop, different slophead

This is like 30-90% of why I’m a mars hater. Not only should we rehabilitate earth first, the fact is we are dehabilitating it instead and are not making any meaningful effort in the other direction.

Does this influence your analysis at all?

Ok now where does this fit on my red string chart that links david gerard to X Æ A-Xii/Techno Mechanicus

Apologies for the screed:

Quick recap:

2016-2020: executive orders every day, non-elected positions being captured by conservatives, dems just hand-wringing and tweeting. but Dems get lucky with a pandemic and trump loses

2021-2024: weekend at biden’s.

Where was the election reform? The dismantling or reform of the electoral colleges? The extra seats on the SC? Bribing the public with stimulus packages to boost the economy?

Remember when we pushed Biden left? Remember when the dems preserved abortion rights, prevented the invasion of ukraine, and stopped bankrolling Israel’s genocide?

“exercise your democratic rights and voice by voting for our candidate that wasn’t democratically chosen as our candidate”. “vote blue and do not voice any critical thought”. “any vote that isn’t for the party that didn’t meaningfully reverse or prevent conservative actions is a vote for trump”.

In sum: the bad guys didn’t do anything new.

The closest we got to a trump loss was some republican spook who went to a trump rally with a gun because it was closer than the harris rally.

and for 2032:

Hope is a mistake 2028!!!

My hope is that either more progressive third party options become more viable OR the dems finally understand that being essentially republican is a bad strategy and actually become progressive. I know the reality is that the dems will learn nothing from this as they have clearly learned nothing from 2016.

Unfortunately there aren’t enough mind altering, ego-killing drugs out there for either of these dicks to understand and internalise the (common usage of the) words they posted.

Two fun lil things in an overall gratifying episode:

• TIL Sam Harris is a nepo baby! His mother created golden girls
• SSC mentioned, and by extension, that Scott, as “the SSC guy”

a real web3 moment if there ever was one.

The big short circuit

Damn, beat me to it! I’m glad I checked new.

I like posting the buzzsprout link as it eventually has the transcript of the ep.

Before my postmodern deconstruction and unlearning of the worship of Great Men, all I needed to know about feynman not being a good person to look up to was the calling women bitches thing. Miss me with that PUA shit

No, Koresh had charisma

Did some research while reading this. Two and two, to make four:

July 2022: WSJ reports “that Musk allegedly had an affair with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, in 2021, leading to their divorce the following year.” (lifted from wikipedia)

From this article: “[Musk] has even offered his own sperm to friends and acquaintances, including the former independent vice-presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan, according to two people familiar with his offer. Ms. Shanahan turned him down“

Yes, that same Shanahan. Also she’s an anti vaxxer. How did I miss this, lol.

Brb mailing this to myself

Been seeing some stuff from this artist. This is the most recent thing to pop up for me. They seem alright, though I don’t have the energy to fully investigate their politics.
