I'm sure some of the sales drop is due to him being a Nazi fuck, but I wonder how much. It's an ugly garbage car with severe quality issues anyway; I wonder how much of the sales drop is due to that alone.

You too! May the next one be thousands of percent better.

I don't hate Harris, but it would be a critically lethal mistake to keep on with business as usual. She now represents that, for better or worse. We need to retire the old guard, and that means she has to go too.

The regime is discounting the hit these artists will take to their image if they don't cancel. The renamed Kennedy center is now a liability for these performer's careers. It's more than just a political statement- it's bad business to perform there now.

Growing up without those fears does something good to a young person, or maybe: that's the default. The conclusion should be that growing up WITH religion really fucks a person up worse than the default (without religion).

Sometimes it dies overnight. Don't think for a second that the Night of the Long Knives is below this regime.

Just saw a Tiktok video on this hours after I posted- apparently there are already AI audiences that they use to pad their numbers to keep their stock market valuation high. They don't even need a product anymore- just the illusion of a functioning system.

Yes, but it won't be Tate. It will either be someone who gets back to masking their hate better like the old guard, or it will be someone far more charismatic than Trump who hasn't entered the scene yet.

It's a sad statement on the state of "our side" that you have to put up so many stipulations to prevent rabid bluemaga from imploding on you 😑

Dead Internet Theory. Who will the bots eventually be selling to other than more bots?

End of the day, their message gets heard; not yours.

and yes, *usurp. Ugh.

Thank god someone in power is calling them out by name. Fucking finally.
