Many of the political “shifts” proclaimed in the media are mainly media adjustments to political reality — and usually only a short phase in the movement to another simplified generalization.

Pretty sure I could (should?) write a decent Robert E. Howard-ish Conan short story for every single one of these article titles on the cover.

She ate all the Cheetos...

The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

Slop leftism by its nature has no deep theoretical roots or radical philosophical commitments, it's more like "these popular nice-sounding things vibe together, right?" And so necessarily what constitutes slop leftism varies by decade. Slop leftism in the 60s, 90s, or today are quite different.

My partner and I coined the term "slop leftism" a few months back and I've been meaning to write an essay describing it because I think it's a necessary and immediately obvious term for how contradictory ideological currents in the Left often get simplified and mushed together into a populist pablum

We need to stop accepting views expressed on Twitter as real opinions. The sooner everyone assumes that the median post on that website is done in bad faith and principally designed to chase clout, the sooner we stop letting these fake controversies take up all the oxygen in the room.

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

This is really interesting. "leapfrogging" fossil fuels was often hypothetical but in India it really seems to be happening

china's fossil fuel generation

While a fall would be better, it is still pretty damn clear that China's fossil fuel use in the power sector has entered a sustained plateau.

This still counts as emissions being added into the atmosphere. But it's a remarkable shift

No son simples "atropellos". Israel ha cometido un genocidio y eso, en el pasado, solía ser un escándalo mayúsculo.

we all know I have no life, so:

a very stupid 3 panel meme of a hot blonde girl strutting, then stopping to see a book, but it's a forklift certification manual, and then the final part is her sitting in a forklift

This is the stupidest thing I've ever made

Hahah yes!!!! YES!!!!!!

Iconoclast dialog options are just the fucking best, man

There's this bit in A Game of Thrones where Dany notes how her brother has no idea how to hold the sword he's been given to look kingly, so he just swings it clumsily. This looks somehow worse.

charts showing a drop in coal and gas use globally and in china and india

It's taking a long time, but honestly we cannot be all that far from an actual, sustained, and probably irreversible shift towards year-on-year fossil fuel declines (rather than a plateau)

Having a very "I wish everything on transphobes that they wish on us" kinda day today.

These fuckwits think they can Based Bro their way out of *literally anything.* this will probably be solved by doing burpees in a prayer circle or whatever influencer shit they last watched. They don't know anything else and will never learn anything else

These absolute clowns genuinely believe that everything can be solved by being more cruel and brutal and manly and strong and that problems are caused primarily by not being those things. This applies to *every single thing.* interpretation of their actions must take this into account.

Cody Johnston once said, on an episode of Behind the Bastards, all right-wing pundits should write fiction: nothing clarifies the worldview and terminal online brainrot as an incompetent stab at dramatizing that same worldview.

learning that a guy wrote a book about how SF/Fantasy nerds were one step away from unironically becoming fascists in the 1970s was holy shit he got us, he called it
