i have been meaning to write something longer about how the various ideologies of the tech right are just warmed over pro-slavery apologetics
So much of the reactionary tech elite and rationalist movements' views, epitomized in Elon Musk, are indistinguishable from Calhounism. Here is Calhoun's famous 1948 speech arguing that Jefferson's assertion that "all men are created equal" was wrong. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/spe...

Combat serious forms of harmful online content, specifically hate speech, terrorist content, content that incites violence, child sexual abuse material and the non-consensual distribution of intimate images, unless the website is X, in which case I guess we’ll do nothing
It was a bigger part of the Liberal party platform during the election here in Canada… not sure what’s happening now.

Since the Golden Globes were literally just some randos who started an award show and they continue to be randos of varying degrees of squick and abusiveness, ZaSu and I are launching the Golden Tabbies.

The only reason that "cancel culture" ever existed is because it is next to impossible to hold people, especially powerful and influential people, accountable for bad behaviour in any way other than public shame. The legal mechanisms that are intended to accomplish this simply do not work

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday.

- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.
