Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

I suppose it’s par for the course, but is it really too much to ask that someone who - until recently - held a full professorship shouldn’t scam his readers with AI hallucinations and gross misrepresentations?

Don't need to hear one more 'Bluesky is an echo chamber' post ever again. Meta is scraping parents IG 'back to school photos' of their daughters in schoolgirl uniforms and using them in ads to entice men to sign up for Threads. It's all pedos and perverts running the country. All of em.

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

There's a lot of talk about Canada Geese and whether they're good and my answer is Yes.
A comic called "how to draw goose neck". In panel 1 the goose's neck is very short and is labeled "no". In panel 3 the goose's neck is the right size and is labeled "yes". In panel 3 the goose's neck is longer and is labeled "no". In panel 4 the goose's neck is extremely long and terrifyingly snakelike and it's labeled "yessss".A comic called The Canada Goose: A Role Model For Our Time. In panel 1, the goose is labeled "assertive" and is hissing furiously. In panel 2 it's "brave" and is standing up to a fearsome swan. In panel 3 it's "good parent" and is standing up to a dog while protecting its goslings. In panel 3 it's "team player" and is flying in a beautiful V. In panel 5 there's a close up of its head and it's labeled "crisp, modern aesthetic". In panel 6 it's eating grass and pooping and labeled "high fiber diet".

Some misguided people suggest that staff cuts at the IRS means they don’t have to worry about filing their taxes because the government won’t notice. Trust me, The IRS does not play. File on time (midnight in your time zone) even if you don’t have all the money you owe.

Call me naive but I would gladly sever diplomatic ties with the US if it means clawing back some of our soul. I would prefer to choose austerity in the name of having a clean conscience rather than have it foisted on me to protect neoliberalism.

In the last few months I have personally identified more than one neo-Nazi that Elon Musk has interacted with or amplified on X. His "roman salute" was clearly meant to evoke the salute fascists have historicslly used and his association with eugenic thinkers is well documented. It's not fake.
A tweet from Elon Musk that says:

"The goal of the left is to destroy my influence. So they relentlessly push negative propaganda about me like fake Nazi stuff and ignore anything positive. They are evil."
