Latest comic on liberal pundits being cozy with extremist commentators who would have been considered beyond the pale just a few years ago

Pundit Bro Doom Loop

MAINSTREAM "LIBERAL" PUNDITS ACHIEVE PROFESSIONAL RESPECTABILITY BY REACHING OUT TO THE FAR RIGHT…

Two male pundits talking:

I'M SO OPEN-MINDED, I SHALL INVITE YOU ON MY PODCAST AND BANTER WITH YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

...THUS ALLOWING FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISTS TO LAUNDER WHITE NATIONALIST IDEOLOGY INTO THE MAINSTREAM

WHY YES, MY FELLOW GENTLEBRO, YOU MAY INTERVIEW ME AND LEND CREDIBILITY TO MY MUSINGS ON THE IQS OF BLACK WOMEN AND THE THEFT OF THE 2020 ELECTION!

PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY ARE REPULSED

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BASIC STANDARDS?

PUNDITS THEN DUNK ON PROGRESSIVES AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES

THEY'RE SO RUDE AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH REAL AMERICANS!

NOW YOU'RE TALKING!

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

Lauren Dobson-Hughes @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social · 17d

A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home

Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies

Latest comic: Civil warp

CIVIL WARP

Woman and man having a conversation

INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC THAT THREATENS ANYONE'S LIFE IS BAD.

WHOA, THERE! THAT SOUNDS MIGHTY INTOLERANT!

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN. I'M OPPOSED TO VIOLENCE, INCLUDING AGAINST THOSE I DISAGREE WITH.

YOU ARE IMPLICITLY CRITICIZING YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS, WHICH IS UNCIVIL AND DANGEROUS.

BUT THAT'S COMPLETE NONSENSE!

INSULTING YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS AGAIN, I SEE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS RESPECTING CIVIL DEBATE, WHICH YOU CANNOT DO BECAUSE OF YOUR INTOLERANT LIBERALISM.

TO HAVE CIVIL DEBATE, YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THE DEBATE HAS BECOME UNCIVIL.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH THE INCIVILITY!

The next step: Fridges that lock themselves and won't open until you've watched a commercial.

evacide @evacide.bsky.social · 20d

Samsung has rolled out a software update to its smart fridges that will display ads, despite saying they had "no plans" to do so. We're headed for a future where you will have to pay extra for appliances without ads.

Samsung brings ads to US fridges

Samsung’s ‘screens everywhere’ initiative is morphing into ads everywhere.

Labor Day musings from a couple of years ago by @jensorensen.bsky.social

First panel of cartoon shows business TV program called Power Lunch.
Caption: "Have you noticed there are lots of TV shows for bosses and investors but not workers?"
One host says, "Shares of Scuzzco are climbing on news that 20,000 employees will be replaced with AI!" Other host: "Woohoo!"

Second panel (of a program called Brown Bag Lunch) asks "What if there were also a labor channel?"
One host says, "Huge losses for Scuzzco today on the worker satisfaction index."

This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

WEB'S END

IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE WEBSITES. YOU VISITED THEM AND IT WAS FUN.

Computer screen: Jill's Homepage

LINKS AND STUMBLEUPON HELPED YOU FIND NEW ONES.

Computer screen: Cheese Art

GOOGLE ACTUALLY WORKED AND SENT YOU TO SITES BUILT WITH CARE BY REAL PEOPLE.

Computer screen: Lovable Expert

THEN CAME SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ITS ALGORITHMS DETERMINED WHAT YOU CLICKED.

Computer screen: Facebook

THEN AGGREGATOR SITES TOOK OFF.

Computer screen: CRAP FROM AROUND THE WEB

THEN SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TRIED TO KEEP US FROM EVER LEAVING…

AND WE DIDN'T.

Woman on phone: SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL

THEN AI BEGAN GENERATING SUMMARIES SO YOU DIDN'T NEED TO CLICK THROUGH TO A SITE ANYMORE.

Computer screen: MONOPOSEARCH
Summary

SOON... THE AI CHATBOT BECOMES THE ONLY SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND REAL PUBLICATIONS DISAPPEAR.

Woman speaking to phone: CHATBOT, WHAT IS A WEBSITE?

UNTIL ONE DAY, PEOPLE WALK AWAY AND BUILD SOMETHING NEW.

Woman has left devices on the ground and is walking into sunset

Seems like a problem that most every smart liberal and left wing writer, researcher, analyst, and NGO worker I know is unemployed, grossly underpaid, or in a super unstable job, while a bunch of 20 year old Nazis with the talent and expertise of ass hair are getting paid $300K to post on Twitter.
