According to their Wikipedia, Techdirt only accepted money from Charles Koch’s foundation for a lawsuit (amongst other donors), and are owned by Floor64.
Floor 64’s website only has 2 people listed in their management team, but I couldn’t dig up if either are linked to the Koch’s (I was pretty cursory about it though).

I’m literally so confused, what are you even arguing about anymore? That Pew poll regarding scientific distrust is specifically related to the Covid pandemic, but you’re taking about measles, and also how this has been going on for a decade. Which is it, and why are the sociological elements I’ve mentioned before not value added according to your authority?
All this over a simple comment about the Human Genome Project.
Again, enjoy your crashout. If you feel validated, that’s all that matters ig 🤷♂️
- Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh 5 weeks ago:
Measles vaccinations being down can also be linked to mandatory vaccination laws being taken off the books across states during the last decade. It says nothing about the inherent levels of scientific education of the parents doing so.
Previously, parents were mandated by law to have their children vaccinated at birth or to attend schools. We don’t know if they would have opted to vaccinate their kids if it wasn’t mandatory.
Again, very condescending reply from you, considering correlation /= causation is a basic rule of research.
- Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh 5 weeks ago:
Then let me be succinct: There was never any “science appreciation” among the general public, and if you think there was, you’re in a bubble. A specific, most likely higher educated and most likely American bubble. You’re just hearing voices outside the bubble now.
Condescending comments like your reply might contribute to the science derision though, just saying.
- Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh 5 weeks ago:
Science derision, has been around for forever, look up the history of anti-vaccination leagues in the UK and US in response to the small pox vaccine in the 1800s. There were antivax parents at my primary school in the 90s too. They were just in pockets of small communities before, and therefore wielded less power. Social media has allowed them to gather into one town square and allowed them to reinforce each other’s delusions, amplify their voices, spread (aptly) like a virus, and most importantly tie it to a political/culture war.
Or it’s the consequences of lead and heavy metals poisoning finally coming to their natural conclusion regarding the function of the human brain.

I hate to tell you this, but the Human Genome Project the meme is referencing was completed in 2003 and published in 2004.
Time sure flies 🥲
- Comment on Netflix brought back A Different World of AI-upscaled nightmare fuel 5 weeks ago:
This is so weird, because they had already restored/updated it for HD when it was on HBO Max, and it was fine. No AI gibberish in the backgrounds. Did Netflix not have the rights to that version or something?

Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn’t even on my radar and now I’m obsessed. The NPCs are so fucking funny

I don’t think you actually know what Kojima has made…
- Comment on Anon stops showering 1 month ago:
Technically (🤓), you don’t have to wash your hair because it’s dead. The scalp is where the sweat, oils, and skin cells build up and where the bad odours would be coming from. And most people on average aren’t really close enough to someone (especially a tall someone) to smell their scalp.
Personally, I tried the whole no shampoo thing, and it was agony. The roots of my hair hurt from the build-up if I don’t wash them once week, only rinsing with water does nothing. Human bodies are weird.

Also to any dudes here: I just want you to know every woman at the l party I was at was going feral for Kendrick’s bell bottom jeans. Something to think about.

- Comment on EA lost $6 billion in market value, following FC 25 & Dragon Age underperformance news 2 months ago:
Yeah ngl, I don’t really care for the more Elvish focus that Inquisition (and now I guess Veilguard) has. The best part of DA was always the mix of all the lores clashing.
- Comment on EA lost $6 billion in market value, following FC 25 & Dragon Age underperformance news 2 months ago:
You should play the original if you can, it really is the best Dragon Age game. Steam has a guide to get it up and running on modern machines.
Also, were you able to follow the story of Veilguard? I haven’t played it yet (and honestly I might never) but I got the impression that it was pretty tied to the story of Inquisition.

I use Youtube without an account and I am blessed to not have experience this on any of my devices on my network. A lot of AI slop telling “inspirational” stories, but I have never seen Ben Shapiro/Jordan Peterson/Asmonroach being suggested.
I wonder what’s actually going on under the hood. Maybe Youtube/Google think I can’t be radicalized, or that I already am.
- Comment on is Chat-GPT refusing this image? 2 months ago:
Interesting. I might try it tomorrow and see if it gives me the same answer as you got or something completely different. Maybe more users asking about it will change the output, or maybe they already have the guardrails set.

Calling me a bot for a dark observation when I’m clearly state I’m one of the people slated to be in line for the ethnic cleansing sure is a choice. But I’ll explain my reasoning and give you the good faith you didn’t give me.
Art and aesthetics were a big part of Nazi Germany. Many Nazi Party Germans got to look at beautiful works of art and enjoy public works in the Greco-Roman style as they were supporting shipping of Jewish people and minorities to concentration camps. The technocrats this time around haven’t even given their supporters that. Instead we get infighting and outrage on social media.
That’s what my comment was making fun of.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Art and Aesthetics are a big part Hitler’s plans to make fascism palatable in Germany and Italy, if you take one art history course you’d know this. Many public works you can tour to this day in those countries come from that era.

The ADL calling the keffiyeh a symbol for antisemitism while defending Elon “throwing his heart to the audience” solidifies what many progressives have already known about them.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
You know what the worst part of this is? This run of western fascism doesn’t even have the aesthetics to make it palatable. That “seig heil” was so fucking uncoordinated it made the Australian break dancing lady look like a prima ballerina.
We’re gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭

Thanks! Yeah, I saw this and thought it’s a bit disingenuous to push Loops as a “privacy” forward option when it’s all the same as any other social media TOS.

I just read it on their website and it looks pretty standard. What’s so shite about it?
