One of the Most Dangerous Interviews Ever in MAGA Media Why Tucker Carlson platformed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

"Suddenly, nothing—including the racism, Holocaust denialism, and antisemitism Fuentes has championed—seems to be too hot for MAGA media to embrace" —@willsommer.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/one-of-the...

Could Prince Andrew ever be prosecuted over his links to Jeffrey Epstein? The Metropolitan Police are ‘actively looking’ into claims that the royal tried to use his bodyguard to smear his accuser Virginia Giuffre – as her family urged the force to reopen an inquiry into her...

Sex trafficking is still a crime, no matter the age of the victim, but the Met have always claimed a lack of evidence. He could also still face investigation for police corruption (but I guess that will also go nowhere unless the officer involved admits to it)

Maybe it's just a reflection of my pessimism regarding this current Pogi era, but I feel like this Lazkano situation casts a very dark cloud over the whole sport.

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!

I did! A good paper, but an even more essential one is Gambetta/Origgi on Italian academia and the preference for low-quality work. Literally everybody I know who has read this and has experience in China has remarked on how useful it is.

Honestly, the more individuals that make themselves targets of the trump regime, the better. They've already run out of competent investigators and prosecutors to go after the existing targets, and this will just accelerate the unravelling of DOJ capacity. Make them drown in their own BS

I think that "people misunderstanding Occam's razor" is my "thinking about the Roman Empire 5 times a day".

Occam's razor is quite simply a process for selecting the simplest amongst correct explanations. If multiple hypotheses give differing predictions, the razor doesn't apply.

Minor point, but of course the Winkelvii are on the list. They're like a magnet for anything destructive to society if they think it can enrich them

Amazing, amazing, amazing interview with Kelvin Pierce, the son of (probably) the most influential neo-nazi in US history. The apple can fall a very long way from the tree in a wonderful way

Any movement, progressive or otherwise, that grants immense power to its leaders will be vulnerable to Mr L types. People who are drawn to the trappings and displays of power and strength. Lead a protest; "play soldier"; work for Blackwater; get a totenkopf tattoo; run for Senate - it's all cool.

The rat as it is lowered:

Not many of my takes are right, so I take an oversized amount of smugness for thinking uno-x could overtake cofidis and get promotion in a world where intermarche merge

"No Kings" Protest (and Arrests) Begin NSPM-7 is already being used to detain protesters

NSPM-7 is already resulting in fed arrests of protesters:

It's a prerequisite of working for ICE that you must be a broken little man-child. The full video in the second post is a perfect demonstration of this. He's a walking red flag, but it'll never occur to him to stop and look in the mirror, so he causes suffering until someone stops him.

when they talk about "feminization" in this way they mean "behaving with empathy and compassion", which they see as weak and/or fake.

Manufacturing consent for repression. The language is all "terrorism", "criminal", "extremist", etc. They know they don't have the juice for martial law yet, but they think they can move the needle in this information environment

If I have that many, then I'll either let the garmin tell me, or use an interval timer app on my phone

I'm not saying it's right, but it is important to note that he had had a deportation order for decades for dealing LSD. This is a war on drugs thing and would have happened under any admin since Reagan.

Unfortunately, it's practically impossible to organise a cartel in a 22-way prisoners' dilemma

Goes back to the argument I made in the Guardian earlier this year that the world is in danger because the techbros have completely misunderstood a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy...

Completely ruined by excessive monopolisation

The important detail is that he is being deported for the LSD dealing conviction that he got before the wrongful murder conviction

They can do a lot of things in the UK to chase the debt and fuck this user's real life forever if they don't pay. They'll literally have it shaved from any paycheck he ever earns, and they'll never get legit credit

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th”

There's no official statistics, and only one shaky estimate by a lone DOJ official in 2014, but it is very likely that US law enforcement kill hundreds, if not thousands of pet dogs each year. It seems to be common practice for many PDs

You're right that we're currently at the "whose side are local and state cops on?" stage of authoritarianism, and it seems like a lot of local government officials are (justifiably) afraid of the answer. I agree that they should find out quickly.

Government by 12 year old pseudo selfs for 12 year old pseudo selfs

It's not just the lack of shame - many of them display pride and amusement in their cruelty. They never evolved beyond the 13 year old bully personality that made school life so enjoyable for them
