It's really something how techbros have embraced brand collapse. Every time a tech brand becomes wildly unpopular and the target customers outright reject it, there is no course correction. There isn't even an acknowledgement of the need for course correction. Look at Tesla and "AI."

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

Most of the guys saying "it's a brutal time for young men, it's confusing" - are not young men - don't have kids, or - aren't close with their kids - are selling something It's pure projection. If you need help just say you're confused and ask for help. Go to therapy.

I think it's midlife divorced dads whose kids hate them. The "I want to see my kids more but my ex won't let me" crowd, mostly these geezers are the ones talking about how it's a confusing time for young men 🫠

The Constitution forbids bribery 3 separate times. So important to the Founders they included two emoluments clauses, and made it the only named impeachable offense besides treason. The Constitution is clear on banning bribery. It's just that Congress and the courts decided to pretend otherwise.

I do not want to be beholden to the paranoid, frantic minority who have decided everything is a plot to destroy them and the only way to live your life is by reflexively lashing out at the collective efforts of others. Nobody gives a fuck about those freaks. Nobody has the time or energy to care.

Would it be great if we could make candidates sign contracts to abide by their campaign promises and positions and if they didn't we could sue them into financial oblivion?

Yes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

You receive a call on your phone. The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment. "Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right? The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank." 🧵 1/4

It's only necessary because they refuse to move and their subscribers refuse to encourage them to move by unsubscribing and providing a reason why. Funding and platforming Nazis is never ever necessary imo. With a little collective action, no left leaning person would be paying monthly Nazi tithes.

I mean look… There is an ecosystem at substack that I don't think any other platform has. Their notes feature. Their live feature. It's a closed social media network and I understand that people like that. Their friends are there. They get engagement. I get it. But still you gotta hate Nazis more

Remember, the rules of American politics are simple. Republicans are allowed to do or say almost anything you can think of, however offensive, because it is "priced in". Democrats meanwhile must be held to account for anything even vaguely awkwardly phrased
