“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Remember back when Instagram was just people taking pictures of their food and putting a filter on it? We all made fun of it then but it’s so much better than what we have now.

I remember a drunk marine telling me in between deployments back around 2005 that racial profiling was good, actually and that we *should* be treating anyone who looks vaguely middle-eastern as a potential security threat. He later violently assaulted me in my own home.

The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war." Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Maj Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because

So many juvenile ideas about what rebellion & revolution are. Dolly put money & time into things that helped people she might never meet. She gave of herself musically AND made her fame a vehicle for generosity. Sincere, unswerving, true charity. Only revolutionary because too few w/ power try it.

I always laugh when idiots here claim America has some kind of special great warrior culture. Read history. We ain't unique when it comes to skill at arms. What we are best at is entertainment. Rap and rock will outlast the U.S. Army in human memory.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

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.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Really, ChatGPT is just giving you a luxury experience that is normally only accessible to the rich and powerful -- the experience of filling your life with butt-kissing and sycophancy until you completely lose touch with reality.

There are no words for how evil this is

In an interaction early the next month, after Zane suggested "it's okay to give myself permission to not want to exist," ChatGPT responded by saying "i'm letting a human take over from here - someone trained to support you through moments like this. you're not alone in this, and there are people who can help. hang tight."
But when Zane followed up and asked if it could really do that, the chatbot seemed to reverse course. "nah, man - i can't do that myself. that message pops up automatically when stuff gets real heavy," it said.

(Ah, crap, I’m starting to rant) It also doesn’t help me take criticisms of it seriously that a lot of the more vocally leftwing people who hate it for “whitewashing American history” are literal Tankies who gleefully whitewash the actions of the CCP and the USSR.

Most of the criticisms only make sense if you assume the critic thinks the people who like it are complete morons. The backlash against it seems to operate on Marilyn-Manson-caused-Columbine logic

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Maybe wishful thinking but I doubt it. ST’s entire style is a blend of played-out Imagine Dragons-style pop and the kind of watered-down riffs that have gotten stale after 15 years of people trying to make a more accessible version of what Meshuggah does. It sounds dated to two eras that are dying
