The guy who offered a bounty to anyone who could provide proof of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eating dogs -- and then offered as evidence a video of Congolese immigrants in Dayton, Ohio eating chicken -- has opinions about the right's "conspiracy, psychodrama, and tabloid conflicts."
It's wild how Chris Rufo openly talks about his own followers like they are the dumbest, most contemptible people alive. Which, fair!
But it says a lot about MAGA psychology that they don't seem to mind.

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his handling of immigration.

This is probably one of the topics I hope to tackle in the local paper, ie how LLM evangelism is more about marketing and selling the promise of labor discipline than it is a utopian technology
When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

1. A new Florida bill would make it illegal for State, County, and Local employers and special districts from firing transphobes.
It would apply to airports, hospitals, even parts of Disneyworld.
It also establishes a private business "don't say gay" policy.

President Trump is preparing to order his administration to dramatically loosen restrictions on MARIJUANA.
The order would reclassify cannabis from Schedule I — the same level as heroin — to Schedule III — the same level as Tylenol and codeine and some steroids.

whenever illuminati conspiracies come up people always scoff and go "Why would they constantly publish clues meticulously referencing their every crime for the public to decipher?" and then everyone in jeffrey epstein's orbit was doing literally that for their every waking moment

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs
