The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.

They'll do a worse job than humans,

but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,

but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.

Lose-lose-lose.

graham linehan’s latest escalation is hiring ppl to dox and harass trans women. 🤷‍♀️

jus imagine for a second that a cis man was doing this to cis women.

society says not only is it okay to do it to trans women but it’s fine to publicly crowdfund to pay for it. 😕

Let's hire a private detective!
Here's where we are: for wears, Ive been reporting a group of men to the police. They ve harassed dozens of people.
the harassment and death threats they send my way, nothing happens. When others report them, nothing happens.
But here's what does happen: the police investigate us for talking about them.
Ine grotesque nature or this colacerason would be laservano trom a oritance. Unortunatty, fi not as a ostance, and it's been going on for years.
So I've decided to do something that feets wonderfully ridiculous and also completely necessary, hire a proper private detective. Someone who actually investigates things. Novel concept, I know.
I'm deughted to say that our prece on Melody Uawion has resuited in members of his tamity ottung m touch. And that s what we can do without a private detective. Think what will happen if we get professionals on the case.
Picture it: a licensed imestigater with a proper case file, following leads from Sussex to Capetown, gathering evidence the authorities keco oretendina doesn't exist. Well comale everything, oresent & to indroundent abservers and every maic)
outlet we can find.
What Your Money Gets
• A licensed investigator who actually does the job
• Document searches, survellance, evidence gathering
• Property documented findings that can be used legally or journalistically
Iknow vou're sick of the Cancel Tax. I'm sick ct it too. But ths onels dicent. This one micht oroduce results that and
decoly satistving no matter where you are in the foht. The l& detective work. And when tis done, we'll have something
Why It Costs What It Costs
The goal looks high because this isn't some bloke following someone to Tesco. This is a proper irvestigation spanning multiple juriscictions. Were not just atter a few bad actors. We want to out all of them.
Every donation puts us closer to exposing something the authorities have worked very

Populism was never the issue

The issue was calling far-right politics "populism" which was not only inaccurate but euphemised and legitimised them as a so-called alternative to the status (while they aim to take the worst of it and push it further)

Yes, I'll keep banging on about this
