Security desk. A monitor with multiple camera feeds. The chair is empty there are flowers on the raised lip of the bracket shaped wall which stands in front of the otherwise open desk. Large doors mostly made of glass with heavy metal around it have an exit sign above them.

Neutral Milk Hotel is Korn for intellectuals but you're not ready to hear that.

a post by @FugaziTruther on twitter, where they shared a conversation from Reddit. the conversation, started by FranklinBenedict, states the following: FranklinBenedict says: “I just want to say that the New York Mets are now 47-70 (as of the time of the post) since playing “Kokomo” on the day Brian Wilson died last June. The curse no one is talking about.” User yumyumapollo (said as yum yum Apollo) replies to this, commenting “Met Sounds”.

a retweet by me of the prior post, where I say “you know what, fuck it. i don’t give two shits about the Mets but I’m tracking this. i’m gonna update this every monday from now on, until either they win 7 games in a row or if they pay tribute to pet sounds in some way for the 60th anniversary this year”, along with an image.

the image i mentioned in the previous photo. on the top it reads “Since June 11 (as of the end of April 19th)”. on the left of the image is a Mets logo, and on the right is an opaque image of Brian Wilson looking towards the Mets logo. It shows that, since the day they played Kokomo on the loudspeakers, the Mets are 47-71. the text on the bottom left corner reads “The Curse Of Brian”.

apparently the mets are cursed by Brian Wilson so I’m gonna be tracking that every monday now

"Shock Block Doctrine." And what is so effective about this labile and protean philosophy is how seamlessly it has partnered with academia to defuse dissent. For example, using philathropy to fund research that produces an alternative set of facts and engender doubt--as with climate science denial. We see this happening everywhere with respect to AI and arts and culture, whether it's Refik Anadol being supported by the UN to create an Al-installation "raising awareness" of climate crisis, or the Schmidt Foundation funding an AI post-doc at the Met to every university rushing to set up an AI and Humanities Lab. Some of this work is for the purposes of data extraction and model traning; but much of it is intended simply to get into the public's field of vision and to diffuse ideas about the potentials of AI, even if those potentials have never materialized. The purpose, as Mirowski shows, is extreme agnotology, shocking the system with so much conflicting information as to immobilize people in a perpetual state of doubt. And he marvels that so few academics have figured this out. But he points to

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

I would like to take some time to address the crayon-scribbled 'Manifesto' that Palantir dropped today;

A document which reads like it dropped directly from the id of the Billionaire class and their Conservative & Neoliberal flunkies.

Here is a full rebuttal, point for point. (🧵1/22)
