My “A Short History of Nazi-Satanism,” the first comprehensive overview of Nazi-Satanism, is finally out! Runs from the 1970s alliances b/t the Church of Satan & neo-Nazi groups thru today’s Order of Nine Angles and NVE. Link for PDF download. (captcha req) escholarship.org/uc/item/1f57...

I'm only about a chapter into this but am greatly enjoying it so far.

So Nancy Mace is now hosting a podcast called 'Get Maced' in a leather catsuit. And no you did not hallucinate that sentence.

This Falcons/Packers game is exactly the kind of putrid unwatchable football I've missed so much. Pure sickoball.

They get overlooked a ton for obvious reasons, but Saints/Falcons is one of the most hateful rivalries in professional sports and is producing great things right now. Like aunty has a DEDICATED HATEWATCH TV! 😂 I think I'm obsessed with this woman.

If you don't know the specific drama this is in response to, I won't spoil it for you.
there's a range of rabidly antisocial behaviors that have been allowed to flourish in lefty-land that are only acceptable to talk about when there's An Incident of such clownish proportions that a temporary "letting out of steam" is permitted until Ted Cruz weighs in

This wouldn't so much be touching the stove as it would be gorilla gluing both ass cheeks to the stove. The US refines roughly 20% of all the diesel traded globally. This would crash the global economy.

Trump's anime crush on Mamdani is producing some truly cinematic crashouts.
Laura Loomer tweet: If a bullet through Charlie Kirk’s neck wasn’t even enough to mobilize the GOP to crack down on the radical left and stop playing footsie with communists, nothing will. 

Hate to say it, but not even his neck exploding on live TV was enough to get the right to finally take action against the communists and jihadists.

The opportunity to really get justice for Charlie by immobilizing the left was squandered. 

The left is about to be more powerful than ever. 

Didn’t need to be this way.

Like, this is gross and embarrassing, but calling it 'state run media' is just absurd. It's a YouTube channel. Like it's literally a cringe little YT channel. That's not 'state run media.'

To anyone trying to take anything meaningful from this, presidential primary polling this far out is only a step or two removed from astrology and tells us little beyond basic name recognition.

There is an admittedly small, albeit quite annoying contingent of terminally online leftists who still cannot process the fact that the official Soviet archives have been open for decades and we have literal mountains of documentary evidence that debunk their rambling nonsensical theories.

This is the inevitable result of the average person not knowing how computers work: the analogies offered by cranks and snake oil salesmen becoming fully load bearing. A LLM is not intelligent. It's a roided up Google search with advanced processing functionality and basic pattern recognition.

Almost like giving control of the economy to a pack of underemployed degenerate millennials who spent the entire 2010s microdosing their balls off was a bad idea.

In this story Anthropic told partners that "gross margins are above 80% before accounting for revenue shared with distribution partners, including Amazon, and the cost of training its models.” For the layperson, that means "we're making money if you don't count the things that we spend money on." 😂

Look, I'm not defending twitter. It's 4chan with a better UI. But I challenge anyone to look me in the eye and explain why it's categorically worse than any Meta platform, whether in terms of brain cooking capacity or genocidal CEO. Also ground zero for the manosphere is Instagram not Twitter.

I mean, raising taxes on higher income brackets, raising the cap on social security taxes, and cutting defense spending are all broadly favored by the Democratic coalition and all would technically qualify as austerity measures.

Running a frontier model on a personal computer would be like trying to run the latest Call of Duty on a potato battery. Either these guys are just lying, or like the Metaverse bros a few years ago, have just completely cooked their brains with science fiction.

No joke, when we were doing icebreakers during the first day of classes a few weeks ago, I had a young woman literally say "hi I'm so-and-so, and I guess I'm a Braves fan, because the Falcons.....yea."
