you gotta make sure the previous one gets out of the headlines man, it's toxic!

Anyway, sorry and I guess I pretty much agree the evidence is too thin to say much about hte depth of influence in a persuasive way

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 20h

I don't want to make you rehash this but fwiw I think some of the overlap in rhetoric suggests more agreement (and certainly a familiarity) between the two. Even here he sort of accepts the implosion premise and then proceeds to promote (more or less) Yarvin's RAGE ideas.

I doubt you can say this means Yarvin's "one of his biggest intellectual influences" but it does seem Vance at least at one point was mingling in that crowd. Anyway, if the point is merely about the word "biggest" then fair enough www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04...

this is batshit insane. fucking death cults as far as the eye can see

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

agree! but i think it's mostly 1) ossoff really does not like this guy, 2) it's an LBJ pig fucker situation, and 3) landing haymakers is a great way to audition for '28. Separately, if this works it's gonna inspire a lot of dems and put the fear into a lot of Rs, imho

ossoff making collins deny being a nazi is fucking hilarious -- there's no good answer to the q "ossoff says you're a nazi, is that true?"

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

the ossoff campaing figuring out that fact-checking is dead is ineresting

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It's great! I think it's pretty clear he's auditioning for '28 and frankly, yeah man, i'd sign up to work for that guy. The best version i think for him is that it's an Obama seeing his lane and slamming it moment

the way he condemns them, just spits his disdain at them is refreshing as hell

He's a villainous poison to our society and we won't know peace until he and all of them are purged and brought to justice for their crimes against us

lmao next time someone hits me with a vicious burn i'm just going to say "I have no immediate comment on taht"

Is it really clear they're spending constrained? Like, does Elon's checkbook have a limit?

not for nothing but the term "super intelligence" is also terrible politics -- it's like lab-made to make me even more afraid of a thing that I'm already very anxious about

this is like when a guy buys a tortoise thinking it's gonna be a fun pet but hten it lives another 100 years. only with fission.

this has been said but nearly all the R ads this cycle are dystopian attack ads. It's awful and i hope they eat shit this november!

010

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Also! I can't be the only one who doesn't really want his kids being forced to watch the subject matter of these slimy attack ads!

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

yeah i've seen a bunch of non-local ads during national games. All they've got is money and slime

010

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's wall to wall super pac anti-trans attack ads against Acton and Brown here in southern OH. Feels forced to me. Like, is that gonna motivate Rs while depressing Ds? Don't really understand the mechanics there

Explicitly telling the guys you're at war w that the only thing you care about is public opinion/stock market feels like showing your belly a little bit!

cc: management so, we've got this employee. He's promising. But he does keep doing illegal cybercrimes that might jeopardize our company and potentially the human race's existence ... think it over. don't want competitor to snatch him up

i kinda like bouie-doing-a-limbaugh tbh. Bouie with a white staff telling Aragorn "yes, i am NPR, or rather NPR as it should have been"

KBJ is doing a lot of work both in her writing and public appearances to toe the line between sort of respect for the institution and what she pretty clearly perceives as her colleagues' bad faith and ... i just don't think i'd have it in me. I'd basically be full-blown accelerationist at this point

when Nero fled Rome he asked for the aid of nearby soldiers to shield him. Refusing, they mocked him with a line from teh aeneid, "is it so dreadful a thing to die?"

lol these fucksticks have pillaged our government and made war on our people. they don't get to act suprised when we're justifiably furious

020

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

They're def panicking but it's also like, what do they mean by this? How is this admin, led by this guy, going to quickly wind this down? He waffled between additional bombings 3 times that we know of just this weekend. I'm not sure saying it needs to end buys them any distance...

070

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

this shit is wild. yoking themselves to an unpopular position (during an election) and then emphasizing what makes it so unpopular. it's unbelievable we lost to these dorks

if you can chisel his name into stone then you can chisel his name out of it. He is genuinely stupid and I can't wait to see all his weak little baby monuments to himself destroyed

000

ol tonyo @fraustian.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

he has now developed the additional idea that chiseling his name into the building will prevent people from removing it in the future and he's just a very dumb human being whom everyone fucking hates and we can't wait for it to happen

our great and powerful military only requests STRONGLY which is not like Canada's low-t military who requests WEAKLY

also probably just loudly try to ruin their lives in any way possible -- the DOJ, IRS etc. are really good at this, it's my understanding

Sorry I went to bed bc i'm old but like, to your very good points, I don't think Claude Wendell Holmes ever comes up with MQD and so I guess I wonder if args over how to tune the llm don't just reduce to the same thing -- law is inherently political/social and can't be made objective

i liked your mind-bender point though, i'm sorry i blueskyed this one
