I said on Slate Money this week that everyone is going to know who Curtis Yarvin is shortly because Thiel and Andreessen and Vance all buy into a lot of his theory and he’s no longer a fringe character among techno libertarians. Here’s a sampling of what he believes:

Remember when people are talking about sitting out the election or voting third part out of spite, or etc, -- remember who you are harming. It's never the people who are safest in this country. It's never the people who are safest in this country.

Agenda47 would basically outlaw gender affirming care for everyone (all ages). Any hospital or healthcare provider that offers gender affirming care would be terminated from Medicare and Medicaid. We'd lose access to HRT, surgeries, etc. Please vote!

Fuck the donor class. Eat the rich.

If Biden stepped down because he honestly thought he didn't have the juice and the party rallies around Harris, fine. But having a bunch of rich assholes hold their checkbooks over vulnerable Congressfolk in an election year to try to oust the incumbent president with a whisper campaign is galling.

The only thing I’ll say about Dobbs was he offered a great real-time case study about the descent into right wing media grift. Stumbled across an angle, saw it was working, and let it become his entire schtick. Got too much for CNN to handle, and Fox gave him a sty to wallow around in.

Jane’s Addiction moved to erase the female co-founder’s contributions, despite them staring us all in the face. I’m glad we have this in artist Casey Niccoli’s own words now.

There's a classic Mel Brooks line, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you fall in an open sewer and die." And it's a very funny observation but I think it's also the entire premise of American conservatism

The Jedi are really just like a lot of tech bros: they are very good at one thing so people assume they’re good at everything, but really they’re not

Damn Skippy.

I do not want any more Star Wars shows about Jedi. I want Star Wars shows about idiots and misanthropes doing space crimes in a starship that's a garbage truck
