Supreme Intelligence? Just... sometimes I think... he's gotta be in on the joke, right? Like he says shit like this and I think "ok... that motherfucker is trolling me specifically right?" (Yes... he did actually "truth" this)

if someone complained after Kamala's loss about needed a "Joe Rogan for the left" and is now complaining about Hasan Piker... then maybe it wasn't about "the left" after all.

Look, as a cultural theorist and a technologist by trade I see all sides of the AI issue. I’m not even gonna say it’s all good or bad… it’s just… sometimes I see something like this and I think “ok… let’s let it cook and see what it does next. You know… for science!” futurism.com/future-socie...

Dear SnyderBros, Posting "hot takes" that DC should fire Gunn and have Snyder de-woke the movies is dumb. Zack Snyder is like one of the "wokest" MFs in Hollywood. ALL of his superhero movies are about how much he fucking hates your politics! You're just too dumb to understand the movie you love.

I think my favorite MAGA take on Trump’s ballroom has “Obama didn’t ask permission to build his Bball court”. Thats actually true. He didn’t ask before hanging a $200 hoop on the fence of the tennis court that was already there. Temporarily! Damn! You got him!

Mike Johnson thinks BadBunny is a bad SuperBowl pick cause “children are watching” so better to “pick Lee Greenwood instead.” 😂 That convinced me he was doing a bit. No one is that screwed up and out of touch! Then I remembered that he proudly uses an app that texts his son whenever he jacks off.

It's not about morality, religion, family values, respect for tradition or ideology. It never was! It's about supremacy. 99.9% of antiWoke/antiDEI crusaders would put pronouns in their sigs right now if they were promised they could use the N-word without repercussion for life.
