I don't know if this kind of cognitive deficiency is the result of a malfunctioning Neuralink, but I also don't know that it isn't.

with destiny church's abhorrent views in the press again, i think it's important not to forget all the white megachurches that hold identical views in new zealand: life church, city impact, arise etc. they are more discreet, but they all hang out and support each other: www.webworm.co/p/holyhell

Every time my confidence is on a downswing, I think about what a fucking creep and a loser the richest man in the world is, and I feel a tiny bit better.

I assigned myself today to get a bunch of housework done, but I decided I should listen to a podcast while I worked, and twice so far I've had to stop what I'm doing to sit down and listen. I don't think this was a very good idea.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

You have to admit, up until the part where it actually happened, a QAnon guy becoming director of the FBI is a pretty funny premise

There's clearly a real story here, but I'm not sure we're going to get the answers from this inquest, since it's very hard to tell who might be motivated by self-preservation rather than telling the truth: www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

At the Conspiracies, Facts and Truth workshop last week, I was reminded that generalist accounts of conspiracy theories tend to reference the collaborations of Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule. Given Vermeule's recent mask-off turn, I'm wondering if this will give people using their work pause.

The tech overlords don't want a return to slavery. You need to pay to feed, house, train and look after slaves. They want cheap labour with no responsibilities, and they don't care where you live or whether you show up for work tomorrow because they can find a replacement easily.

I'm reading a really fascinating book preprint excerpt on the conceptual problems with microbiome research, which is not a thing I'd ever thought I'd type. So much of it is mired in a political background that looks a lot like wellness, tradwife aesthetics and "local deindustrialization."

Possibly the greatest use of a spreadsheet ever: a summary table of ingredients in various kinds of laksa from around the world. Check it out, and see which ingredients are found in nearly every laksa variant, and which are rare! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laksa#S...

When the coalition was first announced, I made the comment that there's no way it lasts the full term without Peters blowing it up for attention via some racist stunt. What I didn't count on was the possibility of Luxon being incapable of butting heads with him: www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Excellent stuff from Dr Rakete. (and A+ trolling (though also 100% fair and accurate) in its use of "grooming" to describe how Destiny reels in the vulnerable)

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet. PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.
