Juggalocalism

Let's try meth that tastes like fruit chews and is sold in little toy gadgets with blinking lights next, we can see how that works out.

Me at my job right now.

if there's a silver lining to the bari weiss stuff it's that being put in charge of cbs news in 2025 is kind of like being named the commander of a french horseback cavalry division in 1917

Was going to leave a shitty comment but then I realised that 100% of the comments are crappy an dismissive and pretty much along the lines of what I was going to say. Interesting that 'climbing' Everest has turned into such a red flag nowadays.

Yes. The summary was too bad to ignore and supported the gist of the gag.

Uh oh.

You're right, I've just been ignorant of the problem.

Come on guys, this is English shit. Keep it out of Scotland.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Kept trying to type a long response but gave up. But, yes. That's pretty much it.

Not going to @ him because it'd be too embarrassing but Roth is one of the only modern writers that I'll read, regardless of topic, just because I enjoy his writing so much.

Check out this piece:

I'd need to scroll up to see what the original point was now, but yes, agreed.

I think she passes the mom test. In that even if my mom doesn't know her name, I could probably describe her in a way that she'd be able figure out who she was and would have some cultural reference point.

She's definitely become especially famous as a right wing meme or avatar or lightning rod. Not sure what her own politics are, but she was always at the centre of right wing twitter discourse.

I think she's become famous beyond her fame if that makes sense.

Sorry, think you missed my typo below. Didn't want to delete the comment mid conversation. I meant to say:
They're NOT interested in real people.

But anyway, I think we're sort of agreeing with minor differences in emphasis. It's all bad and it's all an attempt to control people or labour forces.

Define 'work'. From their point of view, it might work out perfectly.

Sorry NOT interested in real people. I meant to say, not interested in real people.

I think these people want their sexual objects to be interchangeable objects. It's like the article about Musk being obsessed with AI porn. Sometimes he'll type in 'Colombian' sometimes he'll type in 'Asian' but it's all just libidinal commodities. They're interested in real people.

Goose chasing man meme:
What comes right before that in Leviticus?!!?

Unless I'm missing some early context where they were being a real asshole.

I thought they were making decent points depending on how one interpreted them. It does make sense that they'd create young, sort of neotenous, instagram faced, commodified figures rather than trying to create a Judy Dench equivalent. Also, AI is really only capable of creating bland averages.

I like the idea of placing classified ads for Chinese Room experiments in classifieds just to see who it would appeal to.

Fair counter point.

This is ultimately going to be the undoing of Israel, when the stories of their atrocities are told by European grandmas and 'photogenic' westerners. It going to be to hard to contain when local papers interview these people back home.

I think in this case people should try to use whatever political tools they have at their disposal. 20 years from now when centrists are wringing their hands over what happened, at least some people can say they tried everything they could and believed in something enough to get arrested for it.

For better or for worse think we need to include British-style brisket. Not saying it's going to compare well, but it's out there.

Not sure if being anti-antigenocide is the message Starmer wants to be sending. 'Antige' doesn't roll of the tongue and I think most people are pretty anti-genocide when they sit down and think about it.

Watch out, sounds like you might be supporting people who are supporting people who are supporting people who are supporting people who are the targets of a genocidal campaign.

(You>People who are supporting Palestinian Action>Palestinian Action>Palestinians)

The party is louder and more left wing than ever.

Bolder. Effective.And surging!
