I’ll cop to really liking those two seasons of Master of None! it played really well to 20 year old dummies like me and he came off as a smart, well-read guy with a unique perspective! it all reads as pretentious and phony in hindsight

the funniest thing Aziz ever did was go on Kimmel and say “ohhh I’ll donate part of my fee to human rights causes.” like buddy you can’t do carbon offsets for human rights. you took money from the Saudi government to do bits with Oppressed Citizens Brigade KSE. Louis CK was there

He got canceled, came back to make a movie that got canceled because Bill Murray was being a massive creep on set, and THEN ruined his ACTUAL big comeback with beloved actors Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, and Keke Palmer to do a quick set for Saudi Arabia. he’s addicted to fucking up

It felt like Aziz Nasari was mostly free of his MeToo rep but then he does Riyadh it's so funny it's like he got used to be being cancelled and couldn't live without it like Brooks on the outside in Shawshank Redemption lol

this is the classic power move of a manager who works about an hour a day but wants to create the impression they are working from sunrise to sunset

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

You guys wish you were on the level of sincerity I’m on. I’m listening to You Get What You Give by New Radicals and feeling emotions. As a matter of fact I DO have the music in me. I DO have the dreamers’ disease.

Tetsuya Mizuguchi I know you are not on Bluesky but please consider a sequel to Rez featuring Magdalena Bay. Space Channel 5 will also work. I’m not picky. the culture is ready

I was playing Rez for the podcast back when it came out and the two are inextricably linked. they’re in Rez, spiritually and digitally

Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay is one of the great albums of the 2020s for many reasons, not the least of which is that it sounds like the Sega Dreamcast

historical materialism was invented by communists which is why liberals never use it

I think that single user feature being load-bearing and something that could be revoked kinda speaks to the greater problem. and even if users can effectively filter out the literal nazis, the conservative accommodations bluesky makes policy will likely cause this place to be inhospitable anyway.

oh I agree I just think individuals moralizing about Nazi Twitter on Vichy Twitter lack a certain, pardon the pun, axis of material analysis.

Those are user-created safeguards, which are nice but that passes the burden of moderation onto the individual and requires high levels of trust that these block lists are in good faith. For example, I’m on a block list called “Brown shirts” even though I’m left-wing.

Mustafa Suleyman was recently protested by current and former Microsoft employees because their AI was helping Israel be more effective at carrying out a genocide so I don’t think he’s earnest about it being a tool that benefits humanity either way. Even by tech standards he’s deeply disingenuous

True, though there isn’t any meaningful policy in place discourage nazis from being here. you can run from the nazis but nothing is stopping them from making this another nazi bar
