Welp, if you're wondering why The Onion produced a "parody" video saying that the DNC was going to pre-emptively bungle its messaging to lose and the autopsy would be funded by AIPAC, I think we have an answer to that, which is that The Onion is increasingly run by unhinged psychopaths

The cornerstones of modern reactionary politics are "the world isn't like how it was when I was 16" and "my kids don't talk to me anymore" and it's kind of nice they're just saying all that out loud now

The function of modern media is laundering and reformatting this insane man's statements for the public so they don't have to confront reality. The fact that *this person* holds the world's most powerful office and we allow it to continue raises so many hard questions we just choose to ignore it

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

This is meant to be a provocation, but it show a major generational shift in the German far right - during the Cold War, the far right followed the expellee lobby and talked about 1937 borders (i.e reclaiming East Prussia and Silesia from the USSR and Poland but pre Anschluss of Austria)

I have to admit, I find Hegseth's "I'm not touching you" version of fascism, where he does white nationalist and christian nationalist things, but always with this pretense that he isn't doing that, even when he wrote books about how we should do that, just so very tiring and annoying.

It is a little disconcerting that so many people who know a lot about LLMs on a technical level appear to go a little insane. It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad.

The Biden dementia theory has been conclusively disproven, as has the theory that he didn’t use leverage to force Israel to accept a ceasefire (which they did multiple times). No one will ever admit they got these things wrong.
