I haven't had much respect for him for years, but I'm especially repulsed by how eagerly he's made himself into a golden retriever for the Bolsonaros. It's helpful to remember his earliest connection to Brazil seems to be sex tourism. Reading his old travel guide, I realized he's always been sleazy.

There's got to be some Reconstruction-era law still on the books you can use to disenfranchise all of these chuds.

I am well aware of Greenwald's poor reputation in Brazil, his strange maneuvering around Lava Jato, his soft support for the Bolsonaristas, but even so, it's wild to see him signing onto American intervention in the presidential campaign.

The entire plan is shit of course, but it would be fun to institute an 18 year term limit (why 18? was it the lowest number they could think of?) retroactive to the year of your appointment, thus vacating all the seats you need. That would be kind of funny, I'd enjoy seeing that.

The notable thing about 2000 is that Gore won and a corrupt supreme court handed it to Bush. The Nader stuff was the beginning of the Democrats full embrace of their 21st century identity as 1) feckless losers who are 2) never to be blamed for losing

Every so often people ask why Obama doesn't speak out more, why doesn't he get more involved, etc, and here's why you don't have to ask lol. More insulting than HRC because she's a born loser. Here's President Meritocrat to tell you yes, you are totally on your own, fuck you for asking.

And even if/when it's all reversed with next administration, why would anyone ever trust this country or its institutions ever again.

Roko's Basilisk in particular has all the hallmarks of someone who thinks that by not having the most fundamentalist, literalist interpretation of the bible, they've passed an intelligence test. Then they fall for uppers induced, spree-written fanfic.

Joe @joebarczak.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
For one, these are deranged sex nerds, I don't particularly care if it's a cult or not. Two, it is funny to me for someone be a rationalist who fundamentally does not get or account for metaphor or symbolism. Three, Roko's Basilisk is exponentially dumber than any traditional religious belief.

I've noticed a common tic among embarrassed EA enthusiasts where anyone who calls it a sex cult is stupid, a fucking moron, etc, and do you say the same thing about people who "eat a tortured corpse".

Why limit it to rich/poor countries? Why not rich/poor people? Why not those likelier to be in a rich demographic vs those likelier to be in a poor demographic? My guess is: EAs would agree to all of these!

"Campism" is such a fun discovery for reflexive anti-leftists. Like tankie and wrecker, it immediately loses any purchase when they use it. Knock yourselves out, guys.

It had been so long since I'd seen a post from this guy, I assumed he was a shamepig who overdosed on the supply. Not happy to find out he's still out there slinging it.

He was so believable as a dick on White Lotus that I was very pleasantly surprised at how compelling he is as a poised and understated character. I love a cool customer at the heart of a crime story.

I did a slight amount of reading about this and got so pissed that they use "civilization" to describe this stupid process. These nerds shouldn't be allowed to use metaphors

I am renewing my call for a woke checklist. In discussions like this, force these people to go from item to item, checking off if it's woke or not. The Civil Rights Act. Black quarterbacks. The concept of Avatar. Throw some spanners in there like "mass incarceration" just to fuck with them.

Too many people incredulous why Democrats would draw so much attention to a twitch streamer. The point is to inflate him into a fat target that embodies all criticism of Israel. Also, anyone who prefaces their take with "I don't like Hasan either, but..." is extremely sus.

I guess this means you were of age at the time - yet you don't remember how Obama's election seemed epochal to his supporters, especially after the Bush administration? Do you even know what you're upset about?

Takes like this are spiritually similar to poptimism, which was wholly dedicated to ignoring the possibility that something could suck shit for different reasons than something else that also sucks.

One of my favorite things on revisiting Catastrophe is Mark Bonnar. I feel like "intense mensch" is a rare character for a comedy, and he's so great at it.

You'd think that Hailey Stevens would get the Platner treatment on here, but there is nowhere near the level of intensity about her despite the fact that she embodies the genocide lobby and had been running a brazenly dishonest and racist campaign.

When Friedman talked about freedom and liberty, he meant freedom and liberty for money. Human individuals were cattle who should be ruled and maneuvered around to ease the flow of capital.
