Two strong pieces on "cancel culture" in @ArcDigi this morning. One more straightforwardly analyzing it and the other touching on it a bit more tangentially. Both very much worth your time.

Lindsay testifying that he’s been studying critical theory for 16 hours a day, most days of the week is . . . quite the claim.
Imagine putting in all that work and then routinely embarrassing yourself with brainless category errors like denying that a system-level property is true of individuals. Image
Yes, this actually exactly what I’m saying. Lindsay’s attempt to predicate something of individuals by evaluating them via a system-level property is clueless. It’s like saying no basketball players have the property of being winning teams.

This driveway is legendary. Isn’t it where the swordplay vids were shot? Should become an IDW shrine where red-pilled antiwoke sojourners take a yearly pilgrimage to see.
They're not sending their best.

Some personal news!

I am beyond thrilled to announce that today we are launching the next phase of @ArcDigi.

We've taken our talents to @SubstackInc. That means our time on Medium has come to an end.

This is the biggest piece of Arc news since our founding. So please share.

This move is a dream come true for me.

For a long time now, all that I have wanted is to run a publication, and for it to have access to the resources and reach that can help it become the best pub of all.

We have that now. I could not be happier.

At this point, climate scientists are trying anything they can to provoke us to take action.
New Study: Rising Methane Levels Will Very Soon Make Watching The NFL And Also Drinking Beer An Impossibility
STOP THE LITTER
C*CK GETS BIGGER

Simple as that. As far as campaigns to raise awareness, we could do much worse.

Where would you want to live if you didn't factor in things like where your family is, where your job is, etc.? Pick strictly based on the allure of the city/town/country itself.
I'm basic but, for me, in no order: L.A., Chicago, NYC, or DC.

Wild card: Kansas City
hell yeah

This is actually one of the funniest techniques to use in a contentious situation.

"Yes, I affirm your insult. But only after I reframe it as a virtue."
"Guy called me 'completely irredeemable' and the 'scum of the earth'

It's true. I am. I am seen as 'completely irredeemable and the scum of the earth' by PEOPLE WHO ARE THEMSELVES BAD. I fully admit that."
Hmmm, am I 'disgustingly cruel'?

Yup. My opponent is dead right about that. I really am disgustingly cruel toward views I think are even more disgustingly cruel. Guilty as charged!
