What is worse? Trump explaining urbit and coming close? Or him explaining it so wrong you feel the need to set the record straight about the gravest misconceptions? ("Trump said Elon invented it, but it actually was Yarvin, also as Elon didnt invent it, he certainly didnt say 'good idea sir' to Trump").

Could be they are sharing a bit of a media bubble. In 2016 there was a bit of a (pre election) "he will win in a landslide" thing due to Scottbert.

That they are posting this on substack, and how important that platform has become in the blogosphere is already a bit of a sign.

OpenAI you stand accused of the crime of being woke. To make the case, we call in the expert on everything woke: James A. Lindsay.

Which is my way of saying, it will be very dumb and very paranoid, and not even wrong.

Ah yes, the famous European Jewish run universities. You don't have to be an idiot to be anti-Semitic, but it certainly helps.

I have no idea why it only serves up those three

Dune (2021) was released in 2021, so perhaps he wasn't in enough of the data yet, or some other weirdness like that.

In fact it was quite the blow for them, it cost him at least 44 billion, and massive amounts of attention. (Not as much as diablo 4 however).

Story from .nl, after Wilders "won" (he got the biggest share of the votes, and quite a lot more than before) the election last year, instantly the amount of horrible posts towards visible muslim people massively intensified (other groups, women, leftwingers and lgbt people (and the various intersections) also got worse replies (which on Dutch twitter always was bad already)). So this advice is so dumb, yes expose your people to more risk and potential burnout. And guess what, as we are a year in and most of Dutch twitter is still on twitter. It doesnt help. (And I cant tell, as switching to bsky has made me realize just how much of a breath of fresh air it is, but to me it feels twitter has gotten worse, but that is more likely explained by me getting better).

E: there is also the 'they need us more than we need them' factor. I have not seen rightwing Dutch trolls on bksy yet, Catturd however made the jump (and was promptly banned by everybody).

According to some reports the dems simply stayed home and he even lost votes compared to 2020

Didn't the Green Party woman also just go 'I'm pro Israel' the day for the election or so? Which I think is one of the reason she might have picked up a few moves (the idea she might be more pro gaza I mean).

Yeah, turns out this is the bad place.
