Wondering if that “Asian” was “Virgil”
this, to me, is blueskyism
I would reframe this to "who would be a funny person to write an essay about the Epstein story being a moral panic?" and I have plenty of ideas.
The person who would actually write it is Bernard Henri-Levy.
Contrarianism to the center for its own sake creates the worst brain worms
Apropos of nothing. But Chicago badly needs a Mikkeler brewery. Ideally in Andersonville.
No joke: losing the professional wrestling audience is far more likely to sway Trump than anything weenie liberals might say or do.
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
The Charlie Kirk and Epstein Mash-Ups.
Something about them remind of the Dicks out for Harambe memes.
i'm curious: what's your "favorite" AI slop, as in: not necessarily the thing which has the most merit, but the thing which has stuck in your head the most. i figure most people won't want to answer out loud, but DM it to me if you have one.
Feels like it’s a contemporary iteration of Jameson’s Pastiche
its interesting that slop now is an academic term
I dunno why this is a hard concept for some people to grasp but the point of yelling at a company or politician for doing shit you don't like is to make a thing happen, and once it does you stop yelling at them (for that, anyway)
It just occurred to me that the next installation for Doko Demo Isshyo is very likely going to deploy some sort of AI Generated technology
Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.
The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

Players would get their own personalised podcasts on their consoles telling them what’s new…
I think this is also a good description of what happened to the GOP after Trump arrived at the scene.
And the Democratic Party and other Progressive causes are just as vulnerable to other “Beautiful Souls.”
Something about this reminds me of the community organizing training centers founded by Alinsky. And I mean that in a good way.
They have achieved 10 to 1 force superority over ICE
If I lie about setting a dumpster fire.
Is it considered stolen valor.

The American people want simple, common sense ICE reforms: every agent must be followed by their own personal Pyramid Head, physical manifestation of their mortal sins, to act as both torturer and confessor. Only through suffering may they be cleansed

Who did this
Hating Will Stancil is becoming my biggest red flag. Being annoyed by him is human. But hating him?
ⓘ The screenshotted poster is approximately 1,165 miles away from Minneapolis
I never claimed to be a leader of anything, and I’m not, I’ve been doing what thousands of other Minnesotans have been doing. With that said I know why it’s working because I SEE IT WORK: because the observers are disciplined, committed, nonviolent, and open. Their channels are open and HUGE.
Book is great. Especially the part on Dawkins’s Meme Theory. Small surprise that Gleick was one of the inspirations for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park

Good (?) place to drop rec for one of my faves…a deep, deep dive into…well, was gonna say ‘computing’ but it’s really more that that
Don’t have it on hand but guess there was at last a couple chapters on Babbage and the context & history around this beast
Did Will Stancil get punched in the face by Anti-Fa in a video?
Looked up a recipe for Hungarian Ghoulash…and no, this is not what I was looking for
The Work of Slop in the Age of Algorithmic Reproduction
apropos of nothing. I reckon that most of the users on this website are two degrees of separation away from Epstein...
Which is all the more reason why one should be cautious with network analyses.

this website doesn’t have a very coherent description of what Woke 1.0 is or whatever.

I’m going to ask this again.
Similarly speaking, how many of the users on here are Stans of Kat Abughazaleh and actually live in the 9th District or Illinois for that matter.
How many of the people going after Stancil on BlueSky are actually from Minneapolis let alone Minnesota?
"Wow, what made you decide to pursue a degree in Japanese Studies?"
idk. your country's cultural soft power played right into my poor decision-making skills, I guess??
I think that was the end result, yes. Something else occurred to me recently. One of the reasons why Wesley Yang and Tanner Greer, for instance, wrote glowing accounts of Jordan Peterson is because he was aspirational. After Peterson melted down, many of his admirers descended as well.
I have a generalised version of this - while there are specific exceptions, it just feels like a _huge_ proportion of the American conservative movement revealed themselves to not really care about anything? Like, nothing concrete at least. It's all just vague ressentiments around Gender and Race.
The example that I would use is Showa Era Totalitarianism and Yukio Mishima. The antithesis—and I’m being very serious about this—is Godzilla Minus One.
The only writers that I can imagine who are interested are perhaps the Sad or Rabid Puppies.
X is hiring a creative writing specialist at $40 an hour to make Grok better at writing and a true LOL at the qualifications
Reminds me. Adam thought I was wasting my time researching Postmodernism.
My father said I was wasting my time playing video games.
I figured out how both are relevant.
If I were Crissy, I wouldn’t bring attention to 1.) Being Italian 2.) Being married to a Thai illegal immigrant 3.) that he adopted his first son from her, so by his friends’ own definition, he is a cuck.
Chris Rufo is so upset about the Minneapolis protests that he is resorting to anti-Nordic racism

Will be interesting to see if S. Nathan Park of Ask a Korean’s voice gets pushed out in DC amidst Asia’s policy changes. The current S. Korean government isn’t exactly conservative.
This is one of my leading indicators of how seriously people are taking the current shifts in the global order. That a left-wing South Korean govt and right-wing Japanese govt are maintaining the momentum they achieved under Yoon (with a major assist from Biden) says a lot.
South Korea, Japan defence ministers agree to upgrade cooperation

Yep, but I think Klein and Thompson hurt the discourses goals more than anything else. They’ve alienated everyone who matters and allied themselves with people who hurt more than they help.
No one’s forcing you to read or interact with Thomas Chatterton Williams.
One sentiment that I maintain is that the GOP and MAGA have been significantly more efficient and effective at “Abolishing the Family” than the latter theoretical movement itself.
It reminds me of how MAGA has done a better job of actually implementing Degrowth than actual Degrowth Marxists.

I can't help but feel like coordinated "cancellations" declined along with platforms.
When "cancellations" do succeed, it's because the parties involved are swarms.
A lot of the people who pretend otherwise are still trapped in the 2010s.
