One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1 But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.

TRUMP: I just want you to sign this document saying you never saw me with that 16-year old you stole from my (makes air quotes) "spa."

Far too late for it to do anybody any good, Jesse Helms has died. He has done so on Independence Day, which, since he was born too late to own slaves and in too liberal an age to allow him to outlaw sedition, will forever be his only resemblance to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. It is rude to speak ill of the dead. Luckily, I did so ahead of time.

Every time someone awful but really old dies, I think of Hendrik Hertzberg's flawless take on Jesse Helms:

"Far too late for it to do anybody any good, Jesse Helms has died."

I think Zohran is a great dude, but terminally online folks and pundits treating his election like a major referendum on the party is exhausting. He performed the worst of any major candidate tonight while the women, Spanberger and Sherrill, rolled their opponents.

Young women have had it with your shit.

As in Europe, the antisemitic fash right will happily lose elections for decades so long as their clout grows with the media and broader conservative spectrum.

Republicans welcoming Groypers and their ilk are massively overestimating their appeal when Trump isn't around as a stalking horse.

Look man I understand parental fears of severe disability and social impairment but if the science actually showed that taking Tylenol increased the odds your kid will grow up to be Ben Affleck in The Accountant then the eugenicists in our government would start a Super Soldier program about it.

"hard-charging journalist" did she cover Uvalde? Embed with infantry in Ukraine? Expose a listeria cover-up in an Iowa meatpacking plant? Literally anything besides whine that working at the Times meant she had to co-exist with liberals?

they're gonna turn every remaining facet of government interface into a manosphere podcast, ie, a dumb white guy telling everyone who ostensibly works for him that they're gross pieces of shit who deserve all the bad stuff in their lives because they jack off too much

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Hate the discourse of UberEats and DoorDash. They are not the only way disabled people get to eat, nor are they cheaper than cooking. Most Americans with disabilities face massive financial hardships. Buying a $30 burrito isn't resistance. These gig apps are exploitive cancers for everyone.
