Breaking: the Guardian has exposed a family man with a loving wife and many beautiful children, who played college basketball, worked for Google, traveled the world, then had a 10-year career in academia before starting a highly successful publishing company.

I'm shook. Image
This person has been stalking "Lomez" for months. He is a Portland-based ANTIFA activist paid by a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate to harass people. He's been emailing and texting presumed former colleagues. Texting my wife. Attempting to get friends fired from their jobs for merely knowing me. Invoking my deceased father. Threatening to “expose” my blog posts from 20 years ago, my high school and college athletic achievements (please do), and even my nickname from middle-school. A truly deranged individual.
There is no story here of course. None of this passes even the lowest of journalistic standards. It’s obsessive, delusional behavior intended to activate the violent leftist mobs who he calls his friends and who share in his delusions. Legal action is certainly on the table.
I founded @PassagePress on the thesis that Americans desire new and innovative ideas and don’t want to be stuck in the same cul-de-sac of stale thinking and empty pieties represented by has-been, failing publications like the Guardian.

I was right.
Passage Press will clear a million in sales by the end of this year. I am proud of what we’ve built. There is an army of like-minded people behind us, which is why the Antifa doxxer has gone after us, because, like all of his ilk, he is motivated by the self-hate and petty resentments of having to confront his betters. It is not that he is going to lose; it’s that he has already lost. And the best he can do is nip at the heels of those of us marching tall and proud into the future.
I regret nothing. I apologize for nothing.

God bless you all, even the haters.
Indeed.

Woke isn't dying. Woke isn't going anywhere.

Friend told me his small red town in a red state 500 miles from the nearest international airport just announced it's having it's first ever Pride parade, including a drag show for kids sponsored by the town council.
This also came with a "Proclamation" issued by the city declaring the town a safe space and condemning bigotry blah blah blah, suggesting that any objections, let alone active resistance to a city-sponsored Pride week and kid's drag show is somehow verboten...
receipts, for the skeptical:

While you were playing your switch on the airplane, I decided to torture myself by watching the interahamwe film “Dear White People” using disposable airline headphones I could barely hear through, and now I am going to write a review:
Stylistically, the movie is a feature length low-brow teen soap opera you might’ve seen on 2000’s era WB, but with pretensions of making some big sociological/political statement about race and class, which it does pretty clumsily, but not without some (accidental) insight.
Firstly, the movie is not about white people at all. The white “characters” are duplicitous, selfish, dumb, inexplicably cruel, yes racist, undeserving of their privilege, and when portrayed sympathetically it’s a guy getting literally cucked by the black protagonist…

NPR Update: This article is very good look at the internal politics at NPR since 2016. Trump, then Covid, then BLM broke these people's brains. Though it's about NPR specifically, this story explains pretty much all of mainstream media over the last half decade
The writer, who is an NPR journo himself, pinpoints the big shift in how media perceived their job: from delivering relevant and useful information, to preaching moral and ideological instruction.

::Always has been:: yes, but things got markedly more pronounced post-Trump
The side story is CEO John Lansing, who took over NPR in 2019, went all in on Year Zero of St. George Floyd, and made it the "North Star" of NPR to acknowledge "white privilege," and "commit ourselves—body and soul—to profound changes in ourselves and our institutions." Image

When people say the culture is stuck they mean that it's iterating downward, replicating into ever more attenuated, high-compression copies of itself, like a financial system comprised of dozens of layers of synthetic derivatives with no new underlying asset creation
This can produce all sorts of novel artifacts that have the shape and texture of "new" material, but they aren't generative in and of themselves; they are stand-ins for the real thing, shadows of them
It's also simply a question of what domain of culture you are looking at. TV accelerated the dominance of middle brow culture. Digital accelerates low-brow. Vulgar, fully democratized.

Recently watched Terminator 2 and had forgotten that the super genius computer scientist who invents Skynet is black. This is peak 90's color blindness. The fact that he's black goes totally unremarked upon. It doesn't register at all.
As a friend has pointed out there is very brief window where the world's biggest mega celebrities are black men, Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. Jordan wins his first ring the same year Terminator comes out. Black men were a universal everyman.
Was also recently watching 90's commercials with the kids––which they are oddly fascinated by btw––there's a McDonald's commercial with Jordan from this time. Just Jordan eating a burger, drinking a coke, and smiling. That's it. No dialog. Pure super-stardom.

Reminiscing about the boomers. People don't want to hear this but we're gonna miss them when they're gone. They had their blind spots, sure, but it will get worse. It will get much worse.
This is a boomer respecter account now
Thinking about the neighbor who'd stop by our house walking his dog on the weekend. I'd wake up on a Saturday and there was Mr. [x] in our kitchen drinking our coffee, reading our paper. No occasion. No reason. He'd borrow the lawnmower and go his merry way. Just boomer stuff.
