  • On the timeline where Harambe wasn’t killed is the one where “policy matters”.

    And to be clear nobody is saying that policy won’t be crucial to her administration, rather it is meaningless at best (or detrimental at worst) to talk about it during the campaign.

    The fragile progressive/neoliberal big tent alliance needed to hold autocracy at bay need not get dragged into the weeds by bickering amongst themselves over hypothetical issues that won’t even matter unless they actually win first.

    Policy will matter as soon as MAGAs golden cow is sent to pasture. Mentally/physically/emotionally he won’t be viable as a candidate in 2028 (at which point Peter Thiel’s next Moldbug inspired ghoul will present themselves)




  • I wonder if the Mossad deliberately bought old decade+ out-of-production stock to insulate the manufacturer from blowback? Like if they chose a walkie-talkie currently sold by Motorola then it would basically kill that production line and hurt the company by association. People would avoid all Motorola devices in case there were Mossad explosives inside.

    Also maybe they had these devices built and ready to go years ago and had this James Bond shit sitting on the shelf waiting to be put into circulation? This is a one-time attack vector. They won’t be able to do this again so they wanted to make it count.










  • Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, “We’re not going back.” It wasn’t focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the “weird” talk — too negative.

    omg 🙄 Geoff Garin is a dinosaur with a book of dusty mid-90’s “political wisdom” in his back pocket. Guys like him are the whipped dogs of the Democratic party who can only grovel towards “centrists” and push the Overton Window further right.

    Geoff Garin must see young progressives as not even worthy of attempting to placate with platitudes because we will somehow offend the mythical “on-the-fence” boomers that Geoff in all his political wisdom has been relentlessly pursuing his entire life. He is the embodiment of the pussified towel-twisting Democrat who enabled the rise of fascism by taking off his hat and bowing deeply as soon as it entered the room.

    I hope they put Geoff Garin out to pasture and nobody ever EVER trusts his political instincts ever again. If he is numb to the vibe and trying to reign it in then he’s overstayed his welcome and utility.

    Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser’s attempting to divine the median consumer’s level of tolerance.
