The right is REALLY good at messaging it’s insane. The culture wars they start have created a “bogeyman” and it’s insane.

I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.

Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

I never really understood the Rick and Morty joke until your comment: https://youtu.be/-ck-NLG_vIA.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

I’m so dumb, I thought it was “a slaughter of crows” and didn’t get it. It’s a “murder of crows” for anyone else like me.

I mean did Usher, Beyonce or Taylor Swift start up an illegal lottery for government kickbacks?

I’m not sure but I don’t think they started Super PACs either.

The entire post of yours is dishonest but the Usher thing is especially stupid as well. Usher endorsed Kamala, not the other way around 🤡 .

Koch family deserves to be on here too.

Her website has an actual list: https://kamalaharris.com/issues/

Thank you.

It’s tough on the other people around as well as that person. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they don’t know how to help and the negativity and stuff affects them too.

By the way, I say that as someone who’s been clinically diagnosed and did six months as an inpatient.

This is just like the Brexit bus.

Same peeps that don’t chill, message me every now and again that they’re lonely.

Then decline every invitation I give them.

Cat was the person’s name, come on now.

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.

I mean, if I was gonna drown, I wouldn’t mind hooking up beforehand. Just saying.

I used to listen to it religiously. He had a few fucked up views but in a long form podcast it used to get washed out. Like his universal basic income views and then him platforming Stefan something … (like an incel cult leader). In the latter case he thought it was better to bring someone on with opposing views and then see them get flushed out over time and in that case, you see it exposed.

I think what Joe didn’t anticipate was that his desire to be a contrarian and find the viewpoints away from the mainstream, so much so, that it did him a disservice. He doesn’t have the mental defenses up to put up with the propaganda he was inflicted upon. He became the ‘Joe Rogan questions everything’ guy to ‘Joe Rogan believes anything’ guy.

I had it when he became fully antivax and wishes he would just go away now.
