Italian Elon is a frequent visitor to the Midnight Pals, for example: bsky.app/profile/midn...

Indeed. @doctorow.pluralistic.net seems anomalous.

This week on "Hateful Bastards"....

Dorian, did you cover RCP/Living Marxism/Furedi cultists in your series on the Left?

It's possible, they are extremely bright to overcome daylight and thus require active cooling. Estimates I've seen are more like 3 homes and councils get maybe £2k p.a. which adds up to millions.

Any platform that curates the content presented to individual users, which is what their algorithms do to maximise engagement, is clearly responsible for that collation. To claim otherwise is to claim that the maximised engagement just happens accidentally.

Those four klan guys behind him have really got their snazziest robes on!

Concerned that "danger of Iron Chicken visit" is not listed.

Also the moment I realise I'm reading (or watching) a dream sequence

But isn't that anxiety a performance? Like, he studied populism and now he's trying to do it, but he knows what he's saying is bullshit. The bullshitter only cares about convincing others.

Fortunately he's unconvincing and universally dislikeable anyway.

Yeah, I hate it when the clocks go forward.

Oh lol

I'm going to upload Samuel Pepys' diary and pretend it's my journal.

"Claude, should I be cut for the stone?"

(Actually I'm not sure how much I believe this, context windows have been pretty small until recently)

The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer

"Food can heal you" is the same cognitive error as "wealth will make you happy". Bad food can make you ill. Poverty can make you unhappy. That doesn't mean good food and money are able to do anything other than address the lack of them.

Professor of Takes

This is similar to the Stock controversy. Academic freedom applies to the narrow range of learning the individual has expertise in. Just being a philosopher doesn't make you an expert in either "race science" or gender, yet off they chunder.

Nick Tomithy's post was an act of domination and therefore division.

It should not happen again.

American TV dramas where they portray the president as a wise, measured authority, even current ones, seem completely out of touch. Do your jobs, writers, your presidents are old, fragile men unfit for office.

Millennials: "Who's Churchill?"
GenZ: "What's a bank note?"
Alpha: <post-ironic primitivist animation - unintelligible>

It's worked brilliantly in the US (if what you want is to do massive corruption).

Which historic milestones would you choose? I fancy Magna Carta, the execution of Charles I, the NHS, and Windrush.

Or we could do squirrels.

Is the idea that by pretending "all the cool kids are going hard right" people will actually do so? If so they could do with better messengers than this cringey bunch.

You touched me with this

She hasn't got it. That fluent linguistic style that allows some politicians to do bullshit and have it sound plausible. She just does bullshit that looks even more like bullshit after she does it.
