Feels kinda silly to say that rich people from the center to left of things politically can’t build a successful media environment when the onion is doing it basically using donations from semi-employed forum goblins

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
I’ve known Palantir was evil for a long time, but reading their technological republic statement, when combined with the fact that Thiel is going around giving speeches on the Antichrist and allying himself with rapture theologians… Palantir is an apocalyptic death cult with god-like technology.
the thing u have to understand about palantir is that for most of human history we had to kill babies by hand. like with a big rock or a pillow. it was very time consuming

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

Billionaires threatening to leave if they’re taxed: I’m sorry are you laboring under the impression that you were going to be allowed to stay?
this race-bending the new musketeers thing is taking it way too far, next they'll be claiming Dumas was black or something
Every post I see from a law professor is like "I don't always agree with my colleagues, but this effort to 'cancel' my dear friend Professor Hitler is outrageous. He will be a valuable member of the Commission on the Jewish Question, though I'm sure I'll have plenty to quibbles with his results!"

sorry everyone but the bsky outage made me spend the day on Xitter, Mastodon, and Threads so now instead of being a progressive in an echo chamber I'm a Nazi Linux evangelist in a parasocial relationship with a Taco Bell marketing intern.
Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

I agree that people shouldn't be negatively polarized into treating the Catholic Church as a net good in the world but if you're pretending it's not funny that the pope saying "bombing schools is bad" made our government invent Anglicanism from first principles, you're just a buzzkill
lol fuck no
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
I will go on making art because the making is its own reward. I am perfectly fine not using the make-art-for-me machine. That's not a refusal to adapt. To make art is to adapt. To have art made for me is to adapt from being an artist to being not-an-artist. What sort of adaptation would that be?

Also fair enough.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Elections are just ritual civil wars where political conflicts are adjudicated without bloodshed. But crucially, they work because they carry an implicit threat of violence. Orban isn't conceding out of honor, he's conceding because he wants to avoid being turned into a grease stain on the pavement.
