I wake up like this!

Antisemitism is a scourge that has existed for millennia and anybody blaming any one person for its rise in any specific day and age is bound to be ignorant

The best way is to pay for the product you’d like to consume.

I’ve had a rocky and turbulent path in journalism!

You’ll hear me say lots of unkind things about the industry and about the consumers of media.

You’ll never hear me make prejudiced comments about why my career has been hard because I’m not a racist and take personal accountability for my path.

If you’re reading or writing billion-word articles about diversity keeping you from success in journalism or anywhere else, you are participating in the lament of the under-talented, and it’s not far off from writing your own incel manifesto about how you’re unfairly misunderstood and unappreciated

Oh I didn’t get to the last part! I quit after Andrew dubbed himself the most masculine man in journalism

I’ve lived a life in media, and this passage in particular is so blind to reality, it makes me wonder about the person who said it AND the person who repeated it.

No they wouldn’t.

No joke it took me hundreds of hours and additional hours watching YouTube videos to be any good at all at that game

WTF these guys ruin everything

I play paradox interactive games and you can totally do it without getting weird

(But also I spent way more time than I’d like to admit making Canada a random WW2 power in hearts of iron 4)

Fire everyone and hire actual creative people

Wow they didn’t like a combative response and blocked me. Will this cause them to reevaluate how they communicate? I say no.
December 6, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Ok, I’m going to shift into combative mode.

Telling someone that everyone they know is weird is combative, especially if you don’t know them.

You don’t get that right or that liberty

You’re a horseshit communicator if you cannot accept that
December 6, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Well it started with a combative and judgmental insult? That’s one way?

If that’s how you normally engage, pull back a lot.

People will just complain a lot and vote for the party not in power and then 4-8 years later elect the same people that monkey wrenched the country in the first place

We’re a country of absentee landlords who ask to speak to the manager instead of being part of the fix in our own communities
December 6, 2025 at 9:01 PM
This is fantasy IMO.

This country is ruled by apathy, not by a galvanizing force pulling people together in revolution.

I’m no economist but I’m pretty sure most southern companies wouldn’t want to be de-listed by nasdaq and nyse and also that it would be a gigantic hassle if they were, but I welcome correction on the subject.

Texas is about to start its own stock exchange

Between Nasdaq and NYSE there’s 60 trillion market cap just in New York alone

That’s around 40 percent of the global market cap

Texas is a minnow
