Just as a kind of test, here is a ludicrously long video essay I made a while ago about BladeRunner 2049. youtu.be/_RpvJaMJndw?... That’s it. What you do with this information is entirely up to you.

For those who missed it, here's my obituary for Charlie Kirk, a man who made the world worse every day he drew breath. www.patreon.com/posts/on-vio...

We’re in the bragging-about-tax-hike-revenue phase.

Public service announcement: “how old were you when” posts are intended to gather security questionnaire information. Don’t answer them.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Trump has bulldozed the rose garden. You literally can’t be given a brighter red flag than this.

Just to be crystal clear, this is a coup.

Shithole country

What do you guys think of this as a title for my next critical theory YouTube video: “Your Essay Sucks Forever: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chatbot”

This is called “gaslighting.”

There is nothing quite so clarifying about the typical American’s real politics than how they respond to *slight* inconveniences. The loudest denunciations I’ve heard of recent protests cited that they blocked traffic, and were therefore wrong. At least the bootlickers let you know who they are.

If our federal government wasn’t this much of a fucking joke, actually starting these riots to begin with, I’d be lobbying for an independent federal agency that does nothing but investigate the police. Permanent special grand juries in EVERY. MAJOR. CITY.

Americans jerk it to “2nd amendment solutions” 24/7, but the second Americans actually riot and fight back against oppression, they fall all over themselves to say that violence achieves nothing. If it achieves nothing, then why are you afraid of it?

Definitely if ICE is telling you to do something, do the exact opposite.

I have my own opinion brewing as I’ve been watching the show, but what do you all think about The Handmaid’s Tale? Is its lack of trans representation a form of TERF ideology or trans erasure? Did anyone feel it was conspicuously silent on this aspect of gender?

Hot take: LLMs and transformer based Ai generally should be restricted to people over 18. They’re probably 10x the threat that the internet was to education when I was in school, with few of the advantages.

It has though.

So, Google has actually done it. I now no longer use it to find basic information. It’s become as useless for that as any other LLM, and more so than most. Can’t think of a bigger product self own.

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale in 2025 is a pretty fucking bleak experience.

Gosh maybe men who are older than the average life expectancy shouldn’t be in charge of an entire country after all.

I'l submit that Podcasting has been incredibly effective at showing people celebrities and the rich are often morons and conmen, who have little of interest to say, and less understanding of the world. The damage this has done to capitalism is probably more than they realize.

Israel mistakenly kills terrorist instead of children.

Idea 9,737,902 of 5 billion amazing ideas corporate America will never do: reimagine Magneto as a Palestinian. That is all.

The worst thing about American politics isn’t the Republican Party. Evil and stupidity can’t win over time. They always lose eventually. No. The worst part is the Democratic Party, because they actually believe they’re reformers. And so no reform ever occurs.

Subjectivity is an interesting concept. At least I think so.

HAHAHA. We represent the consummation of the total destruction of knowledge work as an avenue to class advancement HAHAHAHA so fucking funny.

Joe “Presidential” Biden everybody. “Huh? Oh I didn’t GAF about a genocide lol.”

Its been like 3 months and America is already at “Hitler was the hero actually.” Think what insanity we have in store. www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/s...

Spoilers: it's not complicated. Three episodes a week for a month. 7 words. That's how complicated it is.

Oof.
