The Chi. Seasons 1 and 2 are great. Season 3 is so-so, and by Season 4 it was unwatchable. Just had to give up.

The centrist dads/ white moderates are at it again with their fucking bullshit. "Right wing proto-fascists are doing some good work dialing down the hatred they stirred up not so long ago with their xenophobic rhetoric. I'm impressed with the way they're drawing the line at interpersonal racism".

I never believed in Citeh's titles anyway. Broken FFP rules or not, their success was always tainted by the stench of grubby, stolen wealth, just like Chelsea's. When they won, I dismissed it as purchased glory. When they lost, I smirked, but felt little. Liverpool and Man U, on the other hand...

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

When these fellas talk about an extinction level threat from AI, they're not really talking about all of humanity are they? Like, outside of nukes, what are we really talking about? An existential threat to tech bros and the nerd oligarchy. That's who is in danger. The rest of us will be fine.

The "stop the boats" movement is being driven by the type of English suburban racist who thinks that one black family living in their street is one too many. Yes, it really is as simple as that, and it has been for decades. There is no intellectual depth to this stuff. It is pure, distilled hate.

When I was growing up there were kids who were so deeply stigmatised by racial hatred they'd say anything to distance themselves from their ethnicity. Braverman definitely told kids in the playground she didn't eat curry at home and that she had a white aunty. "We had bread and dripping for tea".

This is the key point. These "protesters" are effectively demonstrating their support for government policies. It's a rally not a protest. You don't arrest your supporters. In contrast, the government does oppose the views of pro-Palestinian protestors and people wanting to reduce GHG emissions.
