📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.
Two top podcasters have identified a global decline. The problem, they say, is women

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself

A lot of non-Black liberals fail to recognize and examine their own very obvious anti-Black biases, beliefs, actions, and thought patterns bc they’re (sometimes) not as cartoonishly racist as conservatives. But I hope you know that Black folks see it. We peep all of it. And we move accordingly.

4. I’ve spent some time tracking and attending local populist responses to ai data centers. Despite some critiques from left that it’s all repackaged “nimby bullshit” (as I’ve been told), I have seen organic multiracial coalitions on this issue. Esp. in places with strong environmental racism orgs

8. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the Epstein files shows the extent to which old political alliances are compromised. It’s depraved. It is also unfortunately capitalism. Tech elite has the money to shape public opinion and intervene in state law because of that cabal of exploitation.

6. I worked in this column while also finishing the final stages of our documentary on the Black Panther Party. It wasn’t hard to imagine COINTELPRO with an algorithm in a post citizens united landscape. Hoover would be vibrating at this kind of power.

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots:
