I love it. Tucker used to have an enormous platform he'd share with knuckleheads. But his platform has gone from a stadium act to a tent revival.
And it's not because he was fascist, it's because Rupert Merdoch traded Tucker's whole career to get a discount on the Dominion settlement.
The problem is that too many people think they are thinking critically. Pushback, fact-checking, and ridicule are all seen as evidence that one is correct because the crackpots all think they're fucking Galileo.
Currently it seems that there is a negative correlation in some places between intellectual achievement and fertility
It's ironic because the more people who accept the plot of 'Idiocracy' (2006) as plausible or scientific is evidence that humanity is getting stupider.
I'd rather be on the Ukrainian front than any place accurately represented by Blood Meridian.
Can you imagine going to school for all those years just to have some MBA condescendingly tell you how to do medicine?
This is a reality for many, maybe most Drs in the US
“It’s easy to poke fun at these kids, but history has a way of repeating itself, and this is how it starts. In ’30s Germany, a progressive community, a thriving gay community, excellent academic institutions. And how it started, was it was fashionable to wear a brown shirt and mock students at the University of Vienna,’ Galloway said.
This is the most selfawarewolf shit I've ever seen. Galloway mocks progressive students, then comments how mocking progressive students is just like the Brown Shirts.

The physicist and the philosopher are both claiming that time is the order in which we observe things happening, the actual dispute is over the most fundamental force in science: nomenclature.
Waland is the British half of the mega corp Waland-Yutani. Sometimes called Wa-Yu, or simply "the company"
Founded by Charles Bishop Wayland, the totally not evil billionaire industrialist, Wayland LLC was known for energy production, computer technology, and planetary terraforming before it was acquired in a hostile takeover by the Japanese Yutani corp in 2099.
Articles like this are madding to me. The author painstakingly catalogues why policing doesn't work now, and never worked in the past. What's the problem: Incompetence laziness. (personal moral failings) What's the solution: reform. (of course)
Implied is the idea that policing is necessary. That society will just fall apart if we don't pay salaries to armed, unaccountable, and violent street thugs. What could undermine this childish faith more than the fact that pigs, in fact, don't do the core service we "require" them for?
The answer is that pigs do a great job, it's just that protecting the public isn't part of it. They're job is to uphold the social order and protect the property of the ownership class.
Had a friend with problem neighbors kids cutting through his yard to get to the store. He was friendly with the parents and didn't want to stir shit. The neighbors were super all-natural, hippie, no chemical types, so he told them he switched to a new fertilizer packed with micro-plastics and forever chemicals made by Monsanto that he had to sneak in from Mexico because it wasn't allowed in the US. That fertilizer sure worked because the trail the kids were carving filled right in that summer.
