Meet Clavicular, the Looksmaxxing, Drugged-up Streamer Taking Over the Internet He lives in a roided-out hell of his own devising. Now we’re stuck in it with him.

Damn, this guy needs a serious intervention and years of therapy.

Tesla isn't going to build EVs, it's going to build humanoid robots.

SpaceX isn't going to Mars, it's going to the Moon.

X was going to be where you did all your banking. Forget we ever said that.

This is what bullshit looks like when it starts to unravel.

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

I think American Idiot is one of the better protest anthems of the 21st century. The best was released by Superchunk in 2017. youtu.be/D4XanEB6OzI?...

Exhibit A for the argument that, while some of our leaders may be fascists, we do not yet live under a fascist government: The president decided not to go to the Super Bowl because he’s worried about being booed.

Under a fascist govt, booing would get you arrested.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Lots that is grotesque here, but I think the key thing to notice is the zero-sum worldview: if we take in a 5yo immigrant, this somehow displaces or harms at 5yo American kid. There's a finite pool of "American" to distribute.

A zero-sum worldview is the molten core of reactionary thinking.

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

He’s an American citizen so his mere existence as someone who speaks Spanish is the cleavage point? How is this not a story about the audience and the outrage-driven business model of conservative media? Why is it about him at all? He’s just the latest cultural thing for demagogues to exploit.

Seems like almost every day now Trump does something to get the attention of people who don’t follow news or politics who are outraged, shocked, or infuriated. This guy has broken through to forums of people who don’t even care about politics & pissed them off. That’s hard to do.

From Jack White on Instagram:
“officialjackwhite This post would basically get anyone, at any job fired immediately...except for arguably the most important position in the world. That's right, trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the US govt. to pay him 10 billion dollars simply because no one will stop him.) and a full on dementia sufferer, and yet he has the power to send in gestapo ICE soldiers to kill our citizens, and so much more dangerously, has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim. How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two party system, the electoral college, the responsibility that the internet has brought to humanity and its direct conflict with truth, and America's obsession with celebrity, are all to blame, but the fact that we aren't stopping it is...insanity. Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America full stop. It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy and we just all have to sit back and watch as a people. And when he's finally gone? we had better put into place new laws and regulations that don't allow anyone to find dangerous loopholes based solely on the assumption that our President has some sort of dignity and decency. Abolish these loopholes, abolish the electoral college, and if we had any sense we would abolish the two party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place and has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and suffering from the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny, bruised fingers on the…
