Strikes me as parallel with the neoliberal version of DEI initiatives: valuable and necessary stuff being absorbed and implemented in status quo reinforcing ways. I suppose it might also track with the entrepreneurial professionalization of supposedly critical ideas. But I struggle with cynicism.

Very online right wing libertarians & manosphere podcast fans are perhaps realizing that the Donald actually is a threat to their freedoms, maybe? If I was Trump, I’d get Patel to (quietly) restart surveillance of domestic terrorism. The left is never going to storm the capital & everyone knows it.

Money problems, money solutions.

“…including authoritarian coercion.”

Well, well. Look who’s smarter than a physicist.

Disgusting

Maybe he enjoys the suffering, and finds the ending comical? No irony needed.

Becoming?

There seemed to be a loosely coordinated gang up on big, bad universities, especially for Weinstein, with you as the oddly chosen punching bad. They jumping a bandwagon here? They seeing the insane turn against science and the university system and want to get in on that attention action, too? Odd.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder when you’d received this invitation. Morgan and Weinstein seem to be friendly acquaintances, if not friends. But it’s clear they share a pattern of grievance mongering that is more anti-woke than consistently conservative. 1/2

Wow! That was incredibly frustrating, and I think a waste of your time. Both Morgan and Weinstein were aggressively patronizing. But I suppose that’s their schtick. Weinstein was also so petty and pedantic. Super lame. Anyway… Keep up the good work otherwise, just elsewhere.

They want their own domestic ‘third world’ manufacturing base (fully racialized, of course) to go along with all the private prisons. Great synergy potential, too.

Oh, no!

The devil’s burgers

Pretty spot on, unfortunately

Brilliant and insightful. Unfortunately.

Always time for some Tubby

The Trump administration. But it’s a real turn off.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving industry.

A good read or re-read generally, and maybe now in particular.
