8·2 months agotbh ive only read 2 chapters of GR but the prose here did stick out to me, I cant 100% pinpoint what it reminds me of lol
That paragraph reads like something out of Gravity’s Rainbow lol
The amount of bureaucratic work this will require may indicate Musk is some kind of crypto-Keynesian sleeper agent.
Tony Soprano ass family
Point out that the “stolen election” playbook is the same one they used on January 6th and that Machado is a MAGAt who tried to give her Nobel Prize to Trump.
Are they mild? I’ve heard stories of otherwise sober people developing severe addictions to them pretty quickly. And yeah it’s kava and kratom extracts in far higher doses than would be used in traditional medicine.
DIE BRU DIE
Have they done anything to restrict the sale of the borderline-opiate kava derived drinks that have killed a few people yet or is it just the harmless stuff they’re going after?
Both parties have to play hot potato with America’s latent conspiracy culture which is continuously revitalized by worsening economic conditions and an increasingly unpopular foreign policy consensus from the defense blob whose will is executed regardless of who is in charge.
Both sides will cynically use the conspiracy thing to gain disenfranchised voters but so far neither party has produced an administration willing to combat the underlying conditions behind our all-encompassing culture of paranoia and distrust. I’m not sure either side is even capable of correctly identifying why people become conspiracy theorists in the first place.

To insist that bipartisan consensus on Zionism is inevitable in an era where establishment dems are at an all time low of approval and Israel has the support of about 10% of the democratic voter base. After watching the NYC mayoral primary electorate shift cataclysmically to a younger and more progressive demographic after the media decided to make the election a referendum on Zionism that they LOST. It’s just pure careerism and cowardice.
No, we probably cant change ritchie torres or bill clinton’s mind on this issue, but the millions of people alienated by genocide and fascism who would have been happy to vote blue no matter who previously can and are being radicalized to demand something better. Contra’s response is to tell them to fuck off, pipe down, and stop ruining Mimosas.
All of this really amounts to narcissism, whether it’s her or Brianna Wu, the real issue that cant be stated explicitly is that “activism” for them is synonymous with making money from your media career and hanging out with celebrities.
Any ask beyond that becomes offensive and shrill, and everyone who might pressure you to say something that could jeopardize your next patreon paycheck or (god forbid) cause Hillary to cancel brunch is radical, hateful, and actually fighting for a lost cause. Unlike Contra, the person who will carry her bitterness about Kamala Harris’ 2024 loss to her grave, learning nothing.
At least 50,000 dollars was spent on focus groups in the DC area with the most off putting cretins on the planet to generate the opinion “bacon is a spice” which amounts to a tepid pop culture joke from 2011.
Not an AI expert, but im guessing what happened was they added a bunch of training data from the alt right internet, places like gab, bitchute, /pol/ etc. and just stuffed it into Grok without vetting any of it for the stuff you arent allowed to say outright. Absolutely hilarious.
There was a chapo reading series from a biography about the last days of the Trump I admin.
Basically the only people left at the end were mindless yes men who were only concerned about day to day career viability, they would go up a flight of stairs to avoid Trump if he was in a bad mood.
It’s very obviously gotten worse during Trump II and we’re in uncharted waters here wrt the level of sycophancy and amount of executive power in the highest office of a nuclear armed nation, much less a global hegemon.
