Reintroducing myself as more people fly the friendly skies.

My name is Max Asher Miller. I'm a writer and journalist with an MFA from Columbia University, where I multiclassed in the Journalism School and studied populism/fascism.

You can also find me on TikTok @m0stlysapien

1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new

A lot of people deride AI without using it, but I'm a tech reviewer. When I tell you it sucks and doesn't work, that's because I spent a week arguing with my own light bulbs for science.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

That isn't the announcement. The announcement is, "We only like Israel because it makes technology we can use to oppress people, and one of the groups we plan to use that tech on is Jews."

I mean ffs he not so subtly drops the "globalist" dog whistle

i have way too many Orthodox family members who drank the Trump kool-aid because "he's good for Israel" and I really cannot wait for the other shoe to drop. We were always on the list and Israel is only as useful as the technology of oppression it produces for us.

All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

Do you think Meta will be the pin? My feeling is that if a MANGO company can't hack it in this space, it's so over, but I'm not examining the data as closely as you are.

Seriously, I don't know how smart people keep falling for this. Nothing about the way genAI works lends itself to AGI.

It's more like one of those coin games you used to see at Taco Bell for a chance at a free burrito where you drop a penny in a slot and it falls through a series of bumpers.

Really hard to overstate what a seismic shift this is from the same organization that built the current SCOTUS majority and wrote Project 2025, Project Esther.

Ben Lorber @benlorber8.bsky.social · 23h

The leader of the Heritage Foundation just took a huge step back from pro-Israel orthodoxy and welcomed Nick Fuentes into the tent. The cracks on the surface we've seen since October 7 were just the beginning- the Right's Zionist consensus just shattered

A unique feature about this moment in the end of empire is that the geologic stratum for it will contain the abrupt arrival of 12-foot-tall human skeletons, seen neither before or, when the technology to make them is lost in the calamity, ever since.

The evidence presented that the giants ended civilization will be that remains of a residential dwelling for normal sized humans were found near each enormous skeleton, with an outsized number of skeletons found near larger shopping centers.

Yeah, but we were targets all along. The earlier they make that clear, the better our fighting chances.

max asher miller @maxashermiller.bsky.social · 23h

I want the right to unmask its antisemitism so that it cannot be denied any longer. Far too many fellow Jews (especially in Orthodox communities) have become gleeful advocates of fascism because they think we're not on the list this time.

I've tried it and bounced off for that reason. For a similar price, you can use Adobe Express, and for free you can use Pixlr. If you're into desktop software there's some incredible FOSS stuff out there.

White women are always the dutiful shield maidens for white supremacy, so she seemingly possesses some self-awareness.

I've admittedly never understood why people use Canva when there are a million free programs that match or surpass its feature set. But there's some Starbucks drinker in every marketing department who uses it for everything.

Twitter/X is a story on its own:

🔴 While users have become more Republican
💥 POSTING has completely transformed: it has moved nearly ❗50 percentage points❗ from Democrat-dominated to slightly Republican-leaning.

for me i keep catching myself looking closer at stuff, like it's not *quite* in 4K

We are kicking a long overdue reckoning with white womanhood down the road and it's starting to gunk up the gears of opposition to fascism

max asher miller @maxashermiller.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not trans but boy can I be nasty and toxic. You cow. You think you're better than a fascist? NO. You share their beliefs but delude yourself into thinking you're better than them. Like a white supremacy turducken. Fuck you, fuck your Martha Stewart haircut, fuck that horrible face job you have.

One of the Zionist girls in my high school moved to occupied Palestine and joined the IDF after graduation. Said she wanted to "kill Arabs."

She was dishonorably discharged from the IDF for being too violent.

That's like being too underage for Jeffery Epstein.

Yes! Our culture teaches people that "wrong" = "bad" as early as their first report card.

I do believe you have to reach men early, before their brains are fully developed. Not sure what would have happened if I hadn't been on Tumblr in high school instead of 4chan.
