Sweet Jesus is hate speech exactly like ‘diversity’ is code for white genocide.

It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves.”

Good article on propagandists’ tricks. Unfortunately being a “merchant of doubt” (along with manufacturing lethal weapons and peddling religion) is one of the most profitable undertakings known to mankind. Here’s a particularly insidious example of a dirty propagandist trick:

It’s a magician’s trick of distraction. The conservative reich is realizing their every wet dream while the media freak out over Dolt 45.

It doesn’t have a purpose, but AI could be the next stage in wherever it’s headed. Human creations, as ghastly as many of them are,  literally come “out of nature” just as much as stars, galaxies, and biotic beings.

On the other hand, maybe Aleister Crowley was right:

“Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.”

Painfully sad but awesomely inspiring. Dawkins’ intro was amazing as well. (Also a fabulous example of something that gives you goosebumps.)

She’s got major drawing power, and the D’s don’t have anyone else remotely charismatic or compelling in the wings. Since it won’t be Al Franken, I’d go for Oprah.

The difference between a New Yorker and an Angeleno is when a New Yorker says Fuck you he really means good morning. When an Angeleno says Good morning he really means fuck you.
