Funny thing is the term probably applies to him more than any actual "influencer" (ie internet bullshit peddler)

Kinda crazy to me to get through 71 years like this before getting arrested so I have to assume this guy has done time for some crazy shit in the past

Christ just read one book about Reconstruction

Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate.

If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

I think you're on to something. You could look at it for a minute and be like "why do none of the cups look the same?" but there's something uncanny that goes deeper than that. If everything was perfect and logical it would still be off because it's like a Proud Boy fever dream

I get that it's getting harder and harder to identify AI but if this fools you you should have to wear a helmet when you go outside

So academia undermines itself despite the best efforts of well intentioned academics

That first part has led to anti-intellectual cynicism among average people which opens them up to bullshit like anti-vax propaganda, anti-climate science propaganda, etc. Makes it hard for intellectuals to engage the public when people are primed to disbelieve anything coming out of academia

Funny to me that people still think conservative Dems are "center left". That Cuck Schumer legitimately believes he is actually anywhere near the left shows just how fucking bonkers our politics is

I had no idea wolverines could be trained to do anything, I thought they were just dispositionally too aggressive

Just occurred to me they're probably making sure to get the Chomsky stuff out to show how bad someone on the left is, which is fine with me, fuck him

Noam Chomsky is a genuine piece of human filth, embarassed I have his books. A valueless hypocrite who never believed in anything

Ive just bought stuff from there that sucks and some stuff that is decent, lol. It's just a grab bag of quality imo. If I only shopped there there would be like 4-6 meals I could ever eat (assuming we are talking about prepared stuff, and their meat/produce prices aren't great)

That's crazy considering you're basically playing Russian roulette with the quality of any given product. I guess people like the surprise

If so this is gonna back fire when whatever podcast he hosts increases listenership by 1000%

Cops are just fundamentally evil human beings. If you're capable of this there is no goodness in your soul, and every cop is capable of this

It makes them hate their user base, whose attitudes they feel like are keeping away new users, but there's just not that many people that want to use a microblogging site as their primary social media source. It is what it is, if they were smart they'd do everything to just keep who is here haply

Of course the people running this are capitalists, so their vision is infinite growth forever which will lead to a slow death of this website as any user friendly features are chiselled away at for the sake of increasing profits, so even this site is probably ultimately doomed.

Twitter's usage is massively inflated by bot accounts and it's biggest users are journalists (for obv reasons) and Nazis (for other obv reasons). A place like BlueSky's best hope is to just coast with a dedicated user base

30.01.2026 16:00 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I think the main reason BlueSky won't "take off" like twitter did is that this format does not attract new social media users and there's nothing this platform or any other could do to change that. The kids like videos, so text based social media apps just aren't going to grow significantly

They may overestimate their support, but they believe they can fool some and scare the rest. They don't think about how this will play out in the long run because they are incarnated forms of the human death drive and deep down they know they're driving into their own demise
