Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

In Australian politics I see culture wars like racism being weaponised with misogyny. (Cultural femicide? Insert your own signifier.)

It's prevalent here; name a country where it isn't?

Australians are actively importing trendy versions of cultural femicide.

DV up; hate crime up; truth down.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Trump on Portland ruling: I wasn’t served well by the people who pick judges. I appointed the judge and it goes like that. If he made that decision—Portland is burning to the ground… all you have to do is look at the TV and read your newspapers.

That judge ought to be ashamed of himself

Whoever comes up with a nickname that sticks will save us all a lot of mental anguish.

I've been in favour of never referring to him by name since shortly after he descended that bloody escalator.

I wish soooo much to never see or hear those five accursed letters!

Most presidents would try to alleviate the suffering caused by a shutdown. Trump relishes it so he can intentionally inflict pain on workers.

That has to be Miller in my book. But there's a wide array of both creepy and bastard.

It's bothered me since Covid and Qanon which is when I was struck by the horrors emerging from under the internet's carpet.

For understanding some of the invisible sources of all this recent "content", I can't recommend this book strongly enough.

QAnon and On by Van Badham | Hardie Grant Publishing

Who or what is behind the outlandish and terrifying QAnon conspiracy theory? And why does it matter?

I feel such sadness seeing all the ignorance. As someone who worked in STEM prior to medical disability (IT in FDA regulated industries); seeing how much misinformation is out there, as well as the rejection of science and modern medicine, really bothers me.

This won't make the US great.

It is no longer reasonable to trust that any of this will happen. NVIDIA is having to buy its own GPUs and rent them to their customers, OpenAI cannot build 26GW of data centers, and every data center project is a financial black hole.
