He even continued it over at Bluesky which is where I saw it.

Actually he's been flip-flopping like crazy on that (he was pushing the "Israeli artillery shell" thing for a while). He's got the "OSINT" brain worms, is all His current position seems to be "endlessly relitigating Al-Ahli is a distraction from the atrocities Israel's doing *right now*" which I kind of agree with

The Protocols of the Elders of Liverlips It is rather bizarre that there's this huge public debate over whether Israel indiscriminately bombed 17 hospitals or only 16, or whatever the number is. It's fun seeing some thread regulars get introduced to Will Stancil, Main Character of C-SPAM.

I'm very impressed with Stancil. I had never heard of him before a couple months ago, and he has risen to twitter enemy #1 purely off of how annoying his posts are.

And of course this somehow makes all the other times that they bombed hospitals, including this one, OK, and also somehow explains the fact that they threatened to bomb this hospital before they bombed it and bragged about bombing it afterwards.

That, and the way the book described SBF as training his facial responses while people talked before lying through his teeth, like a human chatbot farming responses. And the author was -charmed- by it! The saddest thing is, if it was someone slightly less soulless, I'd cheer for anyone ripping off cryptodopes and 'angel' investors. But as SBF and the WeWork psycho showed, it's meat robots with lovely algorithms all the way down.

It's normal to be into something for a few years and then move on from it. MMA fandom used to feel very different in ways that are difficult to describe succinctly. Among other things, there was a feeling of being part of something that was by and for outsiders and weirdos. The change didn't happen all at once, but I think a lot of it was UFC buying up failing competitors in the late 00s, then the exclusive sponsorship deals in 2015 that ended the era of fighters wearing GOLDENPALACE.COM or CONDOM DEPOT on their shorts, followed by the sale to Endeavour. All of which cost athletes money and opportunities, and put them in a worse bargaining position vis a vis the UFC. Most of Felix's weird interests seem to be connected in some way to thinking about loneliness and alienation, how people cope with it, and what celebrity means in a world of alienated individuals. I'm guessing he no longer finds MMA an interesting lens to examine those issues, at least no more interesting than football or basketball.

They’re amazingly deep too. Even the more simple Sekiro story had a lot going on below the surface. Like the centipedes FROM storytelling is great because it’s fit into the games, not into cinematics and lore dumps. You can be as involved as you like - take things at face value and boss rush, or really explore and contemplate the environment and it’s inhabitants. A thousand times better than “hello player, here is the history of the world, I am a peasant” or reading poo poo off of computer terminals.
