It's not my motherhuggin' fault that marketers subverted the whole idea of artificial intelligence and stole the acronym AI to describe their language-content-generation-systems. AI in the popular understanding sucks and the nested business models it comes from are all fraud or one step removed.

A One Piece fan was mean to me online, so it's time to make a video essay titled "Why This Anime I've Never Seen, All It's Fans, & It's Creators Are Even More Inherently, Incurably Fascist Than Trump & MAGA." I hear a job just opened up at Nebula. Do you think they'd take me?

The Epstein emails show he literally advised *all* these freaks, over decades, up til his death, on how to use transphobia as a wedge to make their expected victims more vulnerable Dems could have just not accepted Epstein's framing of trans rights as an essential part of being viewed as electable

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.

The median Trump voter
Nick Pinto, a 26-year-old crypto investor, said he invested $450,000 in the Trump meme coin and the value of his investments is down to roughly $50,000. He said he was disappointed by the first dinner last year, as Trump was there for "no more" than 20 minutes and did not take photos
with the crypto holders. The steak was only 5 ounces and "not something you'd get at a steakhouse in New York," he said.
Pinto also said that, if it was an option, he could see himself voting for Trump again. He plans on attending the upcoming dinner.
"I hope the food is better this time," he said.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

The Yuddite/rationalist primary defense mechanism is spurting out a big ink-cloud of thesaurus and number-laden complete nonsense, and then demanding that you waste your time "debating" them over it. The good news is that this trick is easily defeated by simply refusing to play the Debate Me game.

When something plays into an idea that also happens to be objectively true, that's "defeatist" to me.
Similarly, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie told Christie in his “Museum of Twitter” series that Farrar’s tweet was “defeatist” because it played into the idea of Trump being the only person with any agency — the “main character of the world” — that everyone else is stuck reacting to.

Instead, Bouie believes it’s the people and institutions around Trump — from Republicans to Democrats, Congress to the courts — that have made the last decade possible

preach, brother
 Farrar acknowledged Bouie’s criticism that his attitude was defeatist; he is defeatist. And cynical. And jaded. Being the unintentional voice of political pessimism can make a person something of a pessimist.

Over 10 years, he’s been taught to be skeptical that consequences or karma still exist for some. The system, as he sees it, is rigged towards elite impunity, and nothing in the last decade has proved him wrong yet.

“I think if you keep betting on ‘Nothing happens,’ you’re only wrong once, and then it’s like, ‘Well, great. I’m glad I was wrong,” Farrar said. “But until then, I’ve racked up a million victories on ‘Bad things don’t happen to powerful people.’ That’s how the world is organized, you know.”
