Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

just a reminder, the fascists don’t actually have the power they are projecting yet. they also do not have the means to control every American if they were to try and enact some form of policestate. They cannot control this country and they cannot kill enough of us to stop them from losing control

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

NEW: The Washington Post has pulled out of an agreement to run an ad in its newspaper criticising Elon Musk. This is despite signing an agreement to publish it. Democracy dies in darkness. Here is the ad. Let’s share it far and wide! Screw the Post.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

For years now, like every few months I have to write a variation on the same post about how Elon is not about free speech, and that he's deeply censorial. And days later I always see yet another media person or politician refer to what he's doing as "free speech absolutism." It's so stupid.

The npc meme is notable specifically for not containing a kernel of truth, like it's purely a way to signal you're submerged in online gamergate/incel madness with no connection to reality. Saying it seriously, like w "the woke mind virus," is just saying "I am fucking insane"
