If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This will be a battle because there’s a lot of well meaning anthropologist types who really do believe it‘s racist to say that eg: traditional chinese medicine is mostly bullshit, but it’s a fight well worth having.

No "never again" doesn't mean that ethnonationalist campaigns of extermination driven by a concern for the ethnic purity of the nation's historic borders are always and everywhere wrong. It means "fuck you, got mine"
I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.
Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

I feel like these two coinciding with social media apps becoming ubiquitous on phones is kinda interesting
My take has always been that it just made a lot of preexisting teen bullshit a lot worse (eg wondering if your friends hang out without you - there's an actual picture they posted proving it!)

The Barely Legal Type: Purity Culture, Rape Culture, and America’s Lose-Lose Proposition for Girls
The very parts of American culture that claim to promote teen abstinence and sexual purity operate on a parallel logic to the rape culture that enables the darkest misogynistic violence against women.

mamdani just had a meeting with an admirer of his who has used the term "shylock", accused jews who disagree with him of being traitors to israel, defended a nazi rally as "having some fine people", and said he liked his accountants to wear yarmulkes. proof of his antisemitism!

while olivia dean and raye appear to be similar in aesthetic and in centering romantic relationships, raye's music is about what she wants for herself, while dean's music is about what she can offer the other; this makes dean's work fundamentally regressive in a way raye's is not. in this essay i wi

Always funny when someone does the "hunter gatherers and medieval peasants actually worked 30 hours a week" claim because beyond not being actually true, yeah, they also lived and worked like peasants and hunter gatherers. You work an email job can go to school and the doctor and retire

No HR ladies, productivity in India must be sky-high
Why aren't there more big, labor-intensive firms in poor countries?
Answer here: bigger firms use more white-color workers who are in shorter supply in poorer countries.

I feel like fears of AI misinformation omits the "sitting US Senator successfully calls for pogrom against own constituents because they eat people's dogs using doctored pictures of a different nationality in a different state roasting a chicken" incident that did not involve AI
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

One of the funnier arguments you see is that human evolution meant that this or that social institution is good and like, maybe, but also we have the powers of rational cognition and can make decisions on a basis that isn't "the size of ape testicles in the mesozoic period"

Once again, Nora Ephron (his mom) also figured out who Deep Throat was because her husband left a bunch of notes saying MF and when she asked him if it meant Mark Felt he (very badly) tried to cover it up by saying it was My Friend... then she named the Bernstein character Mark Feldman in Heartburn
