The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

one of the most important things you have to learn as a parent is that your children are their own people and some parents actively refuse this lesson their children are more than entitled to leave those parents behind

yeah man people online will form mobs to harass each other at the drop of a hat. Hey which side actually integrated that into their sanctioned political activity and promoted some of the ringleaders to government?

literally 100% of the bad things about "woke 1" are just shit that sucks about social media. if you're complaining about "Woke" and not Gamergate, it's because you're a disingenuous prick.

They were too stupid to understand the source of American hegemony and memed each other into thinking they lived in a failed state because there wasn't enough bravado in our imperialism. Took less than a year to wreck the whole edifice. Incredible

It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning

As the owner of several AMC theater franchises, you can imagine I'm extremely left wing. But I bet you didn't realize I'm so left wing that I'm willing to bleed thousands of dollars every time I show the Odyssey to an empty IMAX theater to create the impression that a black actress is pretty.

so important to understand that it’s perfectly normal to be frustrated with a crying baby, you just need to have the emotional maturity to realize that negatively reacting would be insane

one of the funniest things about Trump is his absolute disloyalty to everyone, no matter how much they have debased themselves to curry his favor. it doesn't matter what they do for him. he's perpetually 30 seconds away from tossing them under a bus and giving them a bitchy nickname on the news

At the present moment I am not interested in anything politically beyond the destruction of the Republican Party as a viable political force. If we don't break the back of the conservative movement nothing else really matters. Whatever good shit you want to do won't happen.

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.

This is all very funny but it also demonstrates a real fucking bleak turn for health and wellness stuff where it’s moved from “here are things you can do to make yourself healthier” to “if you do not do these things and get the expected results you are defective” which is basically govt policy now

That one quote from a bank executive celebrating being able to use slurs at work again lives rent free in my head. So many elites are willing to burn the world in order to avoid being held accountable for doing stuff that won't make them happy anyway.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

My newest Substack piece is up! This time, it's a reflection on the loss of my father one year later. open.substack.com/pub/alexmckn...
"One Year Without My Dad."

Life doesn't end when a parent leaves the world... but it does get emptier. It's even harder when one feels unresolved guilt.

On this day 80 years ago, Benito Mussolini was executed by an Italian partisan in Giulino di Mezzegra, then hung from the Piazzale Loreto in Milan the following day. Happy Mussolini Execution Day to all who celebrate.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.
