Once again, it’s telling that many people posting anodyne things like “setting Jews on fire is wrong” have turned replies off because of the reasonable concern that they will get yelled at—by ppl who insist that Jews have precisely zero ties to Israel before attacks on them count as antisemitic.

I think it's easier to understand the current media environment once you understand that a whole bunch of ambitious people are looking at our descent into authoritarian oligarchy and thinking it's a great opportunity to audition as a courtier.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

Much like the Congressional reporter who went to Canada and was very surprised by the depth of feeling there about the US betrayal of the relationship, the press here just has a huge blind spot in terms of how much they've internalized absolutely crazy shit and how much they assume everyone else has

This is expected from apocalypse cult Christians. Non-evangelicals are non-human and they exist only to die. Everyone “perishing from the earth” is the goal! “People are gonna die” is a success for them! “I thought people understood” is the big giveaway. “You didn’t know your death is the plan??”

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

There are pretty strict laws for govt contractors and security clearance holders abt drug use. For some recreational drug use those laws are probably outdated. But there are pretty good reasons you wouldn't want a full on junkie in those kinds of positions.
