this isn’t horseshoe theory but rather an internet era phenomenon i call the “Grifter Ouroboros”

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

I don’t like how the Biden administration is dealing with the Netanyahu govt in Israel. In fact, it fucking sucks. But I also recognize that if Trump becomes president again, it will be incalculably worse.

I'm shocked that Liz Truss flying to DC and speaking to a half-empty room at CPAC wasn't enough to win over the voters in rural East Anglia.

The law, in its infinite majesty, allows both the sociopathic and the empathetic to aggressively intrude in others' personal space, insinuate threats and vaguely imply outcomes of violence.

intimidating and punishing journalists who expose flagrant state corruption, another classic Jim Crow mechanism

Marcia Lucas in fact won an Oscar for her film editing of Star Wars. George Lucas was up for two that year and won neither (he was beaten out by Woody Allen for both of them). He has still not won a competitive Oscar.

George Lucas REALLY wanted to impress Spielberg, Coppola, et al, but the first time he showed them Star Wars they laughed him out of their little boys’ club. He then gave it to his ex-wife to edit, and she is the only reason it became a hit. She did not work on the prequels. Take it as you will.

The more serious point here btw, is that I think the current reactionary project can best be described as a push to eliminate all social pressure to *not* be dumb and mean, and thus that we have a civic and moral duty to never, ever relinquish that social pressure. Coddling people is immoral.

You cannot be dumb AND mean it’s just not allowed. Smart mean people are valid and dumb nice people are valid. But dumb mean people gotta pick a lane

your regular reminder that israeli justice aharon barak himself ruled with the icj that israel was failing to prosecute incitement to genocide by its public officials

This explains a lot tbh

Some people grew up managing undertreated ADHD that way: if they kept themselves constantly panicky, they missed fewer deadlines, and it was congruent with the shaming they got from teachers, so to them anyone unmotivated must not be panicking *enough*.

tbh, if you have normie politics there is absolutely nothing you can say about the election that won't make me hate you a little bit because it all comes off as variations of "i love the coach!" / "i hate the coach!" while the sport being played is shoveling puppies into a woodchipper

146 of 151 breast reductions performed on minors in 2019 were on cisgender boys.

Ah yes, the infamous Kardashev Type NC-17 civilization.

For some reason Kardashev never envisioned a civilization that could harness all of the sunlight that falls on their planet but uses most of it to create pictures of extremely busty ladies with three knees and fourteen fingers.
