This was basically a live murder

i can't stand ben shapiro at my most level of times but some days i can't stand him beyond the capacity constraints of my slender frame

He's pulled me into the latter category most recently for his "do curiously note how none of them said they would ban ~crime~" tweet

i thought it out, and figured that what gets me the most about him is that he's supposed to be the Intellectual Vanguard of conservatism even though the summary of his great works is that we watch him light his own nutsack on fire live on social media weekly and then keep watching as he tries to put it out with a staple gun, and yet without fail at any given time all he has to do is write a book called something like "liberals, satan hitler? facts word inside" and he makes enough to buy out the entire building i live in overnight.

Like with the latest crop of populist figureheads, the right wing grift creates an artificial elevation of these people to the highest total exposure of anyone in world history and i hate it

It does suck that he gets the unearned credit but at least you can rest easy knowing the little oval office relies 100% on his dad's astroturfing to be legit and is likely miserable because all he wants to do in life is mechanically play violin.

i am glad to hear he is probably miserable, but i prefer not to associate him with any gendered slurs.

(especially after his profoundly bizarre vendetta against the musical celebration of various wettened anatomy)

I'm having some fun poking through Miami TX right now and there's two things that jump out to me

1. gently caress that's a lot of midcentury brick
2. i grew up in the glorious, tree-and-sun choked mountains and places like these always feel a bit dystopically flat and bland to me even when perfectly normal to others, but this place more so than usual
3. so much midcentury brick
4. i live in new england now and i am always impressed with how vintage asphalt can get in the parts of the country that rarely or never have snow. like their main street has blacktop which has aged into a sandy clay color. or do they just use a different mix? idk
4. brick in every brown over hyer
4 1/2. one church to every 7 homes or sommat

we're gonna watch them suck that poo poo dry like a bunch of relevance vampires, but we have to remember it only seems like big time stuff compared to the pathetically, fully desperate energy of poo poo like "cancel culture is cancelling dr. seuss" and "biden is banning meat" and whatever the last ten bullshit things they flung up were

i remember liking Glenn, then i remember that day i read something of his and i was like "This feels ... off, exactly what happened here"

then i remember reading something Glenn wrote a while after that and feeling like i must have hallucinated that Glenn was the left wing activist source i thought he was and i absolutely MUST have been thinking of someone else who wasn't this contrarian weirdo crank

now i read practically anything he writes and i'm just like just give him a fox news show with Tulsi Gabbard already, this is obviously where it's going

Right Wing Watch has to be one of the more dramatically voluminous sites on youtube, with a substantial audience to boot

the idea that it can be triggered into a sort of automated permanent deletion through runaway algorithmic systems that produce additionally automated rejections of appeals

and nobody at youtube was even going to do anything about it before it exploded on other social media

Prager's bullshit is still blowing my mind because it's entirely on the cusp of understanding something that it absolutely must refuse. He's incensed by the constant influx of his followers explaining that their political views cause their grown offspring to stop voluntarily associating with them, and he has to find some way that this is intolerance and that for some reason old bigoted fucks are entitled to the gracious presence of their family

And to do this he must completely erase any professed knowledge of any circumstance where conservatives estranged their liberal children, despite the part where they hold a virtual monopoly on epidemic estrangement of children who come out as lgbt

anyway, in other news, the Fresh and Fit podcast got permanently demonitized on youtube and Myron (Fit) was so devastated he literally left his studio crying (in his underwear) while still filming :lmao:

Watched those two dusty "monster energy drink presents: Bro Hotep" miami coke fiends go after aba and preach, probably with the all attention is good attention mentality, figuring a youtube beef was going to get eyes on their channel and keep the growth going. Or who loving knows maybe they were just hosed off their face on toot toot and thought they were invincible

either way this turned out to be one of the dumbest moves in the history of social media because a&p are both professional comedians who know how to work on their feet and pick apart their critics at a submolecular level and good goddamn they got busy

Best individual portion is that f&f were like WE'RE GONNA FIGHT U, BRING IT and etienne is sporting a boxy loving haitian build and pro experience that would have deleted either of them. They reverse course on that so hard it changed time like in superman

It was interesting

Like because a&p were surgeons in identifying the parts where "red pill manosphere" poo poo had made them fragile homophobes, and this sort circuited their brains completely and had them hootin and hollerin and jumping around like orangutans in an unintended parody of their own racial self loathing

This video in particular is like a forensic analysis of manosphere poo poo. Their brains broke. Absolutely majestic. One hundred percent the energy of a post you can respond to with "nice meltdown".

I’d bet that if you asked Mike Judge why public discourse is so poo poo you’d hear something about the erosion of education and the role of the wealthy in perverting the media. But a dickhead on an ATV impaling his balls, and a sad couple progressively explaining why they can’t reproduce yet as they age and die, is funnier than a montage of money flowing through every tiny crack in the edifice of society and government.

This is all true and is part of the reason why it fucks with me when people say that Idiocracy was a 'documentary' or 'prophecy of the future' for literally any reason other than the part where the costume designer ordered a bunch of obscure shoes for the cast to wear, because these shoes were cheap poo poo from a startup and she was certain they were too ugly and stupid to catch on, and today those formerly unknown shoes are the official footwear of overworked americans

yeah classic cyberpunk was 100% from the minds of an age where the telly was full of people having total meltdowns about the japanese tech takeover eclipsing US industry because of the sheer audacity of selling products like video players and cars that, how you say, "actually work"

and they were like ok we need to extrapolate our fears to, ummm, the distant future year of 2010 where we are installing the vcr's into our brains
