GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

One thing about the current SCOTUS that they try to retain the intellectual patina for their decisions when in reality they're just the most basal, partisan, power politics decisions imaginable. There is no intellectual foundation there, just post hoc rationalizing--an intellectual dead end.

I say “or intellectual” because a lot of policy work falls under this too.

This administration's utter disdain for intellectual property law is quite something.
Anyone have a theory on the administration's sudden obsession with Franklin the turtle?

sometimes it feels like "intellectual conservatives" are bashing their heads against the wall, trying to come up with a european version of ba'athism
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Europe must “persuade younger Europeans that their heritage, culture and way of life — a fundamentally Christian civilization leavened and improved but not erased by the values of the Enlightenment — are worth defending,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

can't get over the team behind the mcdonald's ad wanting credit for all the late nights and long hours they spent prompting for clips. you've somehow invented a form of ersatz creativity that recreates the suffering inherent to all creative work without any valuable output or intellectual growth
there’s just a certain type of person who would show up to your writer’s group wanting praise for presenting work but violently rejecting any form of constructive criticism that might improve it, and that right there is the target market for AI

taking hanania seriously is literally like taking the black hebrew israelites who loiter outside of chinatown station seriously. same level of sense and intellectual coherence.

it's so fucking funny to have Kat style herself as a dissident intellectual when she's basically in line with every GOP NIMBY boomer
Lots of people on the right like Rosenfield have adopted this annoying tone policing where every book, article, tweet, etc that is slightly pro-liberal should not be judged based on whether it’s right or wrong but rather whether it’s a consultant-designed way of persuading the marginal voter
these people can fuck off, quite frankly

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

Rufo's problem is his job is giving the right's most reactionary ideas the valence of intellectual rigor for more liberal audiences, but his base audience wants nothing to do with that kind of respectability politics. He's the pornographer that imagines himself to be a great auteur
Chris Rufo is a cheap thug. The fact that there are cheaper thugs out there doesn't change the fact.

There's really such a vast intellectual difference between "I have criticisms of both sides, but I can very clearly see which one aligns with my most central core values," and this

Um. So Disney isn’t just giving away its intellectual property for free; Rather, Disney is going to *pay* openAI to use Disney’s IP. Do I have that right?

In a UK intellectual environment that struggles to engage with forms of elite radicalisation it is worth noting how far Right wing think tanks like Policy Exchange are now operating in the same ideological space as increasingly groyperised MAGA Republicans
