Kinda fucked to write this piece without instructions on how to pirate the shows

Counterpoint: you haven't actually been fighting shit. Look at what actual fighters have been doing and what you've been doing, and then maybe think about what an abject catastrophe the party has been since 2012

You don't seem to get the difference between coercive state media that's literally engineered to platform Nazis and pollute the information space on the one hand, and a bunch of crowd members jointly deciding that you suck on the other. I count this as evidence in favor of the crowd

I think rise of parasocial relationships with jacked/hypermasculine influencers substantially accelerated this trend just in last decade. It also provided an environment where malign meatheads could make strength training more right-coded (my sense is that this used to be less the case)

Tankies undefeated in establishing themselves as the dumbest motherfuckers on earth. And that's really saying something

Pretty cool for these kids to be with the guy who made the worst Blue Sky post of all time, while he was making it. Thank you sir for being historically stupid

Is it so hard to not do this shit? Like, what's stopping you from just not doing it?

I think you might have posted the wrong document. There's no actual framework for action here, just a focus-grouped summary of the catastrophe that we're all watching unfold, along with the vaguest possible commitment to standing with labor. I wish we had a functional opposition party

This is a fine message for politicians, and I support it. But as just-a-guy trying to have recognizably human relationships: I will never forgive a single one of these stupid motherfuckers

Backstop institutions fail because the people who comprise those institutions fail. The election was a grievous self-own, but total failure isn't inevitable, and we should be doing everything we can to compel institutions to work.

Not convinced that you're capable of profound embarrassment, but the last three weeks truly have been an embarrassment of inaction and awful messaging. AOC has been running circles around you, Schumer, Hochul, etc, and I wish any of you were self-aware enough to realize it

Rocker's lower half is giving big Mike Tyson Netflix PPV energy. I'm assuming that pocket mobility runs in the Mahomes family and Rocker is flailing at air -- probably not a lot of good ones in him

Quick question: should the mayor who corruptly sold out his own city to a fascist in order to wriggle out of other corruption charges be forced out of power? Or should you and Hochul and every other clown running NY Democratic politics just continue doing nothing?

This is embarrassing and disqualifying. You're completely failing to meet the moment.

To the detriment of those sports! Narrowly aesthetic training is dumb for athletes, and athleticism is complex and multidimensional. But getting bigger/faster/stronger is still useful for a whole lot of people, and that generally entails moving heavy things.

Legitimately kind of fun Journey irony posts notwithstanding, you're like a windup doll of performative masculinity. It's not a convincing performance

One of my favorite Canadian/strength coach anecdotes is 17yo Christian Thibedeau hitting deadlift maxes in his bedroom during fam Christmas Eve party, his otherwise untrained Quebecois stevedore uncle popping in to take a gander, picking up young Thibs's 500lbs max like a toy, rejoining party

Because none of them are actually taking on gig work, but many of them *are* taking enormous de facto bribes that fundamentally distort governance. A ton of congresscritters see lucrative post-office lobbying position as their path to real money, and that means that we all get worse legislation

The pretty obvious linguistic correlations on this map make me think that, beyond cultural heritage and whatnot, there might be some language-related artifacts in the data. Like, how are we gathering reported sightings, and is it based on any sort of (potentially language-biased) key-word search?

This assumes that people such as myself exist in the world primarily as evangelists. I'm here to read interesting and funny and provoking things, not to change the hearts and minds of people I regard as dipshits. That might look like self-silo'ing from the outside, but it's a much different dynamic

I think some people might choose platforms, not to get proportional exposure to every other living person, but to hear specifically from people who aren't stupid assholes.

It's wild how that works! I experienced something similar. I've managed to bring my recommendations mostly into line on a single account, but it takes concerted weeding and pruning, and I'm sure there'd be feral Jordan Petersons running wild in no time if I let it go

Related, probably more influential mechanism: guys getting into generic gym content, that content being entryway into Rogansphere and related podcast/YouTube bozos. Eg there's a bunch of legit useful strength & conditioning content on YouTube that will generate noxious recommendation streams

"My politics are horrible because people are mean to me" is always a great excuse, even when not being offered by VC ghouls

I think you probably see this already, but increasing everyone's twitter hours is not going to produce more heroic teammates or less abhorrent sex pests. You can hate sports *a lot* and still prefer a world in which Twitter isn't the universal sports press board and town hall. Mute buttons etc

This doesn't seem to be the question for the original complainer, who pretty explicitly wants to see this broad swath of cultural news/conversation/ephemera stay with Twitter. I think that's misguided.

It's wild that people don't immediately see an upside to disentangling major swaths of culture from *a literal Nazi disinformation machine*
comment in response to

"If you don't stick around on the Nazi app that was bought and engineered to poison the information space to the greatest extent possible, you're part of the problem." It's impossible that you're actually this stupid.

I would reframe that to say that each is "ideological" in ways that make sense for their own narcissism and personal aspirations. Hence the surprise at seeing centrists act ostensibly on conceptions of the broader good
comment in response to
post
For me anyway, the shock at centrists pushing for something actually useful isn't a function of centrist ideologies being incompatible w/ good things. It's from prominent examples of "centrists" being cynical opportunists who strenuously avoid doing useful things (Sinema, Manchin, Fetterman, etc)

I'm torn here between corruption (campaign responding to Egyptian bribery) and idiocy (campaign meaning to say *Chaldean* Christians, a few hundred thousand of whom live in SE Michigan and would be sensible campaign targets)
