Red Skull ranting: "US's Founding Fathers put all US women as slaves under men when placing them under coverture law, and that's where women remain. Only something like ratification of the ERA can change that."

Me, having read a book about Francis Ford Coppola this week, and seeing Hegseth trying to jack the intro to the Coppola-writen "Patron" is a weird feeling!

One of the problems with a lot of tacitly anti Israel positions is that they're explicitly pro Hamas.

This is actually pretty impressive, but is also not really at all like what I asked for. A study in contrasts. That said, I don't think you could listen to this blind and be like, "an AI made this."

I had an idea years ago to do a podcast about the biggest Broadway hits of the 19th Century that have been completely forgotten, but then it turned out that most of them are insanely racist.

If people are presented with an AI product and a human product and they either prefer the AI product or are indifferent to the choice, the problem there is not AI.

Finished Paul Fischer's "The Last Kings of Hollywood" yesterday and really enjoyed it. Nobody came out of it looking great, especially Coppola. Lucas comes across as fairly traumatized by the whole experience, but not given towards vice. Spielberg comes across as a broken little boy.

This kind of elision is incredibly common in this debate. Any support for Israel is total support, and then Biden's mistakes in not getting Netanyahu to shift course is in itself damning, without articulating how, exactly, the US was supposed to move that needle, while denying any attempt to do so.

In Gaza, the humanitarian access barriers were almost entirely due to the IDF acting with our support, and Biden tried to navigate around this reality with absurd ideas like the floating pier rather than confronting the reality of the harms being caused by our full support of the IDF. 3/4

Of course Trump is worse. That in no way excuses Biden's failures. It's going to be worth reckoning with those failures more as the primary heats up because if the next dem admin brings in Biden's hacks like McGurk, Sullivan and Blinken they will fail again in the same ways.

4/4

Let's assume you live to be 90. If you're 30 or over you are by definition middle aged. Have a good evening.

Every once in a while, you're witness to someone fucking up so hard that the reverberations of the fuck up resound for months, sometimes even years, and the proper response is awe and gratitidue that you are merely a witness

I suspect this was all in place, including scheduled posts, ahead of time. When Schmidt screwed the pooch (part of his FBI application, apparently), they all just said, 'fuck it, our audience won't know the difference anyway' and went with it.
