Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 5hAnd if Bizarro Macklemore did get kicked off the tour, it would probably only be days or weeks later if the backlash became severe enough or lasted long enough to threaten bottom lines. Political beliefs are generally apolitical up to the moment they conflict with the interests of capital. 010
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 5hI think Sheeran is at least right-curious in the way that so many "apolitical" centrists are. If instead Bizarro Macklemore had given a big speech calling for building the Third Temple, I doubt he would have been kicked off the tour, because Sheeran wouldn't have received angry calls from Bob Kraft. 110

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Doubly so when you come across one of the few biographied slaves. For example, it's pretty much impossible to read a biography of James Hemings without coming to the conclusion that Thomas Jefferson was, at best, a massive festering asshole. 080
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I wouldn't be surprised if a big impetus for this is that Trump-affiliated people spent the past several months buying up Slovenian (.si) domain names so they can try to flip them for 1000% markups before the AI bubble pops. 030

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't know, he might not want to risk winning the fight and becoming responsible for them. If he doesn't fight for custody he can instead just complain about his ex "stealing" his children from him, allowing him to claim ownership without having to spend time with them or care for their wellbeing. 120
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I recently saw a video of a woman asking Byron Donalds if he'd be willing to use the power of the state to force her kids to talk to her so she'll have access to her grandkids. I could see this guy being so disinterested in his child that in the future he never learns he even has grandkids. 070

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's also fairly telling that the two main reactions to BSW's formation was "Good riddance" from Die Linke and "No! We're going to end up splitting the vote with them!" from AfD. 010
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm also only passingly familiar with German politics, but after quick look at the listed political positions on BSW's Wikipedia page it pretty much criticism of capitalism followed almost exclusively by a laundry list of right-wing culture war nonsense. 110
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Apparently part of the motivation behind the "SI" push is that some of the people behind it bought up a bunch of .si domain names ahead of time and are trying to flip them now before the AI bubble bursts. 000

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Also, all of the blame for the infamous Crater being pinned on him was a little unfair, since it likely would have gone differently if he wasn't forced to change the order of battle at the last minute because a bunch of other generals got offended about him putting black troops in the vanguard. 000
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026To his credit, he knew he was out of his depth, but for a good chunk of the war his superiors refused to accept his attempts to turn down promotions. He accepted command of the Army of the Potomac before Fredericksburg primarily because he was told they'd put Hooker in charge if he refused again. 110
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Burnside's big issue was that he was bad at managing egos and was a case of getting promoted above one's level of competence. If he was never put in charge of whole armies, he probably would have been remembered as an okay division commander given how he did against Longstreet at Knoxville. 100
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That being said, secessionists also intentionally sabotaged the 1860 Democratic convention, resulting in 2 Democratic and 1 third party candidates to split the anti-Lincoln vote, because they wanted to start a civil war and a pro-slavery Democrat winning would take away their main justification. 0180
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It wasn't just not enough free men, but not enough free men + 60% of slaves (the latter of whom were obviously not allowed to vote in the election or fight in the war), since the 3/5th compromise added to a state's electoral votes by artificially inflating their congressional representation. 1201

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I would like to propose a related phenomenon to the Streisand Effect that I call the Piker Effect.

The droid was reprogrammed by the Imperial security services to spy on the Alderaanian royal family.

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So, much like all the stuff with AI art, writing, or coding, the AI solved the math problem by stealing the work of humans and then the corporations that built the AI marketed it as the AI solving it independently. 130
Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I looked into the whole millennium problem thing, and apparently the way the AI "solved" it was that one of the AI corporations let mathematicians use their agent as a support app for basically free, then harvested their data and fed it into a different AI they built to brute force the problem. 121

Doomscroller General @vengefulmeme.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It definitely is an example of how having the right director is just as important at getting a good performance as having the right actor.
