the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.
Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

there are probably a handful of more evil politicians in the world but i know starmer tops the list of the most pathetic
NEW: Keir Starmer has said he hangs the English flag in his home and 'always sits front of a Union Jack'
He told the BBC: 'I'm very encouraging of flags. I think they're patriotic and a great symbol of our nation.'

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

This. "Vote blue no matter who" is such transparently a ratchet-tactic. It is not deployed thoughtfully as a strategy to build power. It is deployed to cajole people to accept a further and further rightward drift in the name of "pragmatism," and AGAINST any attempt at leftward movement.
Note how blue no matter who is near exclusively used to support bigoted right leaning candidates while that energy disappears when a more socialist leaning candidate like Mamdani does well.

I should be home right now but I'm having so much fun I could stay in the office all night if UNITY DIDNT JUST FUC

R/aitubers is all the entitlement of NewTubers but exclusively for people openly churning out slop.

There’s just alot of people looking directly into a camera and saying 2+2=7 and expecting you to passively take that because you now have no agency and are merely a vessel for that lie to be conveyed and that’s generally bad I think

another way in which LLMs make me feel like an alien as compared to their many fans: I find their default fawning conversational tone to be intensely, viscerally repulsive and suspicious.
for my specific style of Totally Normal Brain, a person acting weirdly fawning and inexplicably congratulatory like an llm would make me immediately skeptical of anything they say, so llms emulating that behavior as an intentional design choice is like wow i fucking hate this.
