It doesn't make any sense to conceive of due process as a right that individual people can have or not have at all tbh. Bad framing from the start. Due process is a restriction on the government's actions, and by definition it applies to either everyone or no one.

I'm tired of hating these people so much. I don't want to be bombarded with justifiable reasons to hate anyone all day every day. I just want them to go away

Bank of England: Record of the Financial Policy Committee meeting on 2 October 2025 (note comment on AI risk)
www.bankofengland.co.uk/financial-po...

Despite persistent material uncertainty around the global macroeconomic outlook, risky asset valuations have increased and credit spreads have compressed. Measures of risk premia across many risky asset classes have tightened further since the last FPC meeting in June 2025. On a number of measures, equity market valuations appear stretched, particularly for technology companies focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This, when combined with increasing concentration within market indices, leaves equity markets particularly exposed should expectations around the impact of AI become less optimistic.

not only is the whole "the left is organizing against us" thing just bullshit for suppressing speech and dissent, its also hilarious because if you've spent 10 seconds on the left you can see there isnt the power to organize a bake sale let alone an antifa plot to take down the govt

They’re channers

People on the left absolutely love to emphasize that they’re nothing like channers becuase channers are far right but like, they absolutely just are the same, It’s the same politics, with a woke branding

That he’s talking about the test being ‘state administered’ really makes me wonder if he did the Trump thing of confusing the IQ test with the cognitive capacity test

It permanently altered my perception of Discourse and Poasting when I clued in to the fact that a lot of people on social media really do just want an acceptable target to bully.

Yeah but if you work for like, the New York Times and point this out, then you stop getting invited to the cocktail parties, and that’s kinda what the whole point of working in that lane is about to begin with.

A more snobby attitude of mine is how much it bothers me this works. To be frank, Weiss and the Free Press people always seem really obviously to be what they are to me - right wing shills. If anyone is actually fooled by the "I'm just a concerned centrist" schtick they seem incredibly stupid to me.

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 17h

another thing Weiss does is give other very dull people a vehicle to spout bog-standard right-wing ideas and pretend they're being iconoclasts or innovative.

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 17h

Weiss very intentionally does not describe herself as a conservative or Republican and wraps her politics in terms like "free press." That makes more useful at advancing Trumpism than explicitly right-wing figures. newrepublic.com/article/2014...

This seems to have a very weird blend of actual 50s trad nostalgia baked into it which really isn’t helping them beat the subtext issues
