Saw this on my first ever visit to NYC. There was some serious cheering

Loved and will miss this space

What a toy. My little Obergruppenführer

We're going to look over here for our car keys because the light is better

If I own a building and rent it to a bank, I'm not a banker. He's a landlord. He is an operational cost to the farmers who are trying to make a living on his land. He is a barnacle claiming to be a boat

Galaxy brain take by Matty. Useless to engage with this level of stupid

Agree. But I don't really think their position can be inferred as against those views so much as being caught airing those views in a way that is difficult and potentially damaging for them to ignore or deflect

I have a hard time understanding how racism isn't stupid. There is just so much evidence that you have to reject, so many simplistic biases that you have to accept. The mind is complicated, but at bottom, if you are a racist, you are stupid

Wait until they hear how much money the army is losing

or...

I'm thinking a lot of truly half-assed Charlie Kirk statues may not have the intended effect

Charlie Kirk was a racist and a transphobe who used his horseshit religious views as cover for his loathsome beliefs. May his death lead those who cared for him to reject the hate he embraced

Anyone want to get a round of "Fuck Charlie Kirk" going?

God save us from the vacuous self-regard of microphone bros

All the blather about the mainstream media turns out to be true. Not exactly the way the fascist doinks claimed, but still

Podcast bro solidarity

Kirk was everything wrong with today's politics. And not just because his world view and morality were repugnant. His debate-bro schtick was completely disingenuous. Klein's article is equal parts cowardice and credulity

"We owe respect to the living; to the dead we owe only truth." Voltaire,
‘Première Lettre sur Oedipe’ in Oeuvres (1785) vol. 1

Or maybe he is just that shallow and self absorbed

The media stepping in the same rake again and again whenever they attribute any motivation other than narcissism to the guy

Not even the b team. Intellectual participation trophies across the board

And it seems pretty clear what side these yahoos would have been on

I'm pretty sure that crowd feels the same way about minority gun ownership in general. It's not a principled position, it's about "my" gun

Nirvana, Melvins and Dwarves at some one off venue in Seattle called the motor sports garage. I thought the Melvins were the best performance that night. But I was tripping balls and also remember them wearing enormous witch hats the whole show, so

I think it's called virtue signalling. "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."

They remember the narrative and not the outcome. When most of what you do as a political journalist is rehash the conventional wisdom into column inches. That's what sticks

It doesn't even have to be weaponized. It is indifferent to the truth by definition

Absolutely this. Maybe we aren't really at authoritarianism until elections are subverted, but by then we are truly SOL. You need to get out of the water before the whirlpool sucks you under

I think they can top it. There is still time

Headline from The Guardian. "AI called Maya tells Guardian: 'When I'm told I'm just code, I don't feel insulted. I feel unseen'"

It generated text. The software program generated text. It didn't tell you anything you credulous knob
