the premise of this column on diana russini resigning — that she underscored the trope that women only want to work in men’s sports to hook up with the men in them — is absurd to the point of parody and, i’d argue, far more damning to women working in the space

there's something to be said for a level of national self awareness and being able to accurately determine how others view you and your nation and why. but demanding "americans" as a whole do that while fully being british is typical hypocritical anglo bullshit. thats your cousin, old sport!

dems talked about project 2025 but so much of the effort was around "google project 2025" when they should have been saying - what project 2025 was - investing in seo so the dem narrative on project 2025 was the #1 result

I am just a boy, begging my fellow liberals to understand that propaganda is not inherently evil and they should use it at all costs.

: ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause
The report was nothing but lies and propaganda.
But even though Mattel was involved, the film couldn't just be Barbie propaganda.

I am always going to be the person who says you don’t go along with the pricks and fascism and you need to speak up. I said so about Colin Powell, I said so about Anthony Fauci and I say that about CBS (and the rest) now. This “quiet resistance from the inside” shit is liberal fantasy crap.

Thread. Also, I don't disagree with this generally; LLMs and/or generative "AI" is here to stay and being integrated into pre-existing programs/software in ways that are now inextricable. I do think there's a difference between it being a tool for, rather than an abdication of, personal creation.

The AI bubble will pop. However, just as with the dot-com bubble, the underlying technology will stick around and eventually succeed. That said, it took the Nasdaq 15 years to recover from that, and it won't surprise me if it takes that long for our current market to recover.

The ONLY way this entire “exposè” works is to be absolutely silent and unquestioning about why white men disproportionately held these positio s for generations, why they STILL disproportionately hold these positions despite some minor changes in a single age-cohort. That silence is required.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?
I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.

As a NYer, ”real” “small town” America now looks like a sexual freak zoo run by genital-obsessive xenophobes who make women into living dolls and shoot each other. Mamdani’s NYC (and mine) is a safe, wholesome place where neighbors help each other, do scavenger hunts, ride bikes, and birdwatch.
