It turns out the information doesn't want to be free, the internet and all its manifestations are just tools and you use it right or it gets used at you.
Long report about the white house posting bullshit Text at opening of article "The White House posted a blog on its website"

Can't believe they did a coward edit of the title

This is amazing actually. If I was Mamdani I'd frame it and put it in my office. I love the Ya in "Red". That's not how language works guys!

The right really insists on continuing to make Mamdani look great!
New York Post front cover with Mamdani's head on what appears to be USSR-era communist propaganda. It reads "On your Marx, get set, Zo! Socialist Mamdani wins for mayor" and then in much larger letters "The Red Apple" only the R in Red is backwards like the Cyrillic Ya.

This is gonna sound weird, but I'm pretty sure I farmed a castle nook in Elden Ring with this exact layout.

This is just a clickfarm! It even looks like a clickfarm! Why is this worth finding? There are hundreds of these, all available for much cheaper! I don't understand this at all!

wow, who could have expected that voting for the president of the united states based on how much he smashed could have backfired
comedian and Flagrant podcast host Andrew Schulz, who once stated that his 2024 vote for Trump was based on “who gets the most pussy.” “I voted for none of this,” Schulz declared in July. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars

Like, I was here around a month ago and got nothing as insane as 'the Chinese are putting Fentanyl in their vapes, thank god Trump is saving us'
Insane ad showing Trump standing with a bunch of military men and showing the title "thank you President Trump keep fighting against illegal Chinese vapes" with text on the bottom saying "paid for by end Chinese imports, Inc"

Tilly Norwood is the actress I most want to see on the big screen, or perhaps the little screen, if she gets her own TV show. She is beautiful, but not too intimidating. She has a natural smile, and is just the right amount of British—a touch exotic but still familiar with her posh accent. Her Instagram has immaculate standards of presentation. If you do not already know, Tilly is not an actual human being. She—it?—is an AI creation. And recently, several agents have been bidding for the right to represent her. They think Tilly will be a “hot property,” and this time around you can interpret that term literally.

It's the Sartre quote, right? The fascists "devaluate words and reasons" and prefers bad faith because it benefits their unsound arguments. Klein has been watching this happen, like we all have, and wondering if this is a tactic to adopt. But leftists have sound reasons and causes to illuminate!
The anti‐Semite has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions about the rights of the Jew appear to him. He has placed himself on other ground from the beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse. I mentioned awhile back some remarks by anti‐Semites, all of them absurd: "I hate Jews because they make servants insubordinate, because a Jewish furrier robbed me, etc." Never believe that anti‐ Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

He seems to genuinely think Dem failure is wording and individuals, that there are no systematic forces or larger problems other than moderating the language of the party, which is an insane take. One that Coates rightfully identifies as an issue. Klein is unable to see the real contexts.
That’s great. I think it’s good that you wouldn’t say it like that. I don’t even think that, by the way. I don’t even focus on people. I am at war with certain ideologies and ideas, and I want them expunged. I want to turn them into phrenology. That’s what I want. But I don’t want the people out. When you start talking about who people are in their bones —

Yeah, this is exactly the point I came to writing about Klein. It's the same exact playbook. We should resist it for those reasons alone. If that's not enough, then resist it because if they run the book successfully on trans people, they'll use it on Jews eventually too. aramzs.xyz/essays/i-wan...

Everyone keeps saying that an individual's user data just isn't worth that much. Well now we know it's worth at least as much as a 3GB/mo cell phone plan.

The more you read this article the dumber it gets because this org's lead guy's position is "all the entities that currently support the democratic party, like the ACLU, are bad actually" which is just nonsense. This isn't a "Democratic Think Tank" it's a conservative influence operation.

Every day since they launched the hype point leaderboard on YouTube I go look at it and all the terrible things the majority of YouTube users are watching. How do people live like this. Every allotment of hype points unveils new horrors.

never seen a finer candidate group for people who can go straight to hell - hope they go broke supporting New York's second most politically successful sex freak and all around creep
Some of New York City’s richest landlords are done sitting on the sidelines of the city’s mayor’s race. On Tuesday morning, at roughly the same time that President Trump was opining on the radio about Mayor Eric Adams’s bottom-of-the-barrel poll numbers, a group of real estate leaders and businesspeople gathered at the Pool Room, an exclusive event space in the Seagram Building in Midtown Manhattan, to meet with former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and help plot his path to City Hall. The event took place less than 14 hours after Jeff Blau, arguably Manhattan’s biggest developer, and his wife, Lisa Blau, an investor, sent an email blast to members of their exclusive circle, saying that if they did not take immediate action to support Mr. Cuomo, the election in November would assuredly be won by Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

Oh! "The post-liberal American right set out to destroy the guardrails that restrained anti-Semitism" Jonathan Chait?!? The "post-liberal right" did?! Not the guy who rants about the terribleness of political correctness and who supported Trump not so long ago? Not that guy, he's not involved
Photo of Atlantic article with byline by Jonathan Chait titled: "The Intellectual Vacuity of the National Conservatives" subhed: "The post-liberal American right set out to destroy the guardrails that restrained anti-Semitism, without giving any thought to what might happen next."
