post-nostalgic wasteland
Heed the Warning Bell w/ @Elegba99
Modern crusader Nic Dolinger returns to talk to me and my NEW CO-HOST @TheUrMillennial about his grave misgivings about A.I. and why we are all underestimating its dangers, referencing the essay/sci-fi piece "AI 2027". We then transition to discussing M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and why it is more relevant than ever.

If a white dude says “fair enough” it means he thinks you’re a fucking retard but he knows that if he continues to push back you’ll drag out the conversation til God knows when and escalate. Same when a guy says to a woman who gave her opinion about politics: “that makes sense.”

This is what BAP means when he distinguishes right-wing environmentalism from left-wing environmentalism; the typical crypto-commie would happily destroy national preserves and parks to make space for the third world but also wants to ban cars in the name of changing the weather.

Ever since Trump became Literally Hitler everyone who made a movie or tv show where he did a cameo had to figure out how to do damage control, but claiming that as an adult man directing a blockbuster film you were “bullied” by a hotel owner is the funniest one I’ve heard.
‘Home Alone 2’ director reveals Donald Trump “bullied” his way into the movie:
“We approached The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned, because we wanted to shoot in the lobby. Trump said OK. We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use it is if I’m in the movie.’”

Years ago I had a job that sent me all over the Chicagoland area and a few times I’d be in an all-black neighborhood close to sundown and some local would warn me (usually nicely, fwiw) to leave before dark. Bringing up “sundown towns” in 2024 is just straight-up projection.
In Michigan there were several "Sundown Towns". Sundown Towns are white communities where African Americans had to leave before sunset or 'face consequences'.
Imagine that.
Below is a Sundown Town database and map of their locations.

I don’t eat leftover rice very often anyway just bc it rarely tastes good but one unfortunate side effect of the rise of women in medicine is spreading awareness of extremely unlikely ways to get sick and pretending it’s a salient threat.
Wait, did ya’ll know this about reheating rice? 😳
Community note
Bacillus cereus can and does cause food poisoning, including from reheated rice. However, symptoms are typically mild and hospitalization is extremely rare. Out of an estimated 64,000 annual cases in the US, the CDC estimates only 20 lead to hospitalization.

It’s also funny that from what I’ve heard and read (I don’t work in tech), Damore’s advice has basically been followed by big tech companies (including Google) since his firing. Now they have more “socially inclined” jobs that are clearly created with women in mind. LOL

We get it. You feel that black people have a right to beat white people within an inch of their life for any perceived slight that provokes them and we should respond by talking about how the black person is the real victim here. Don’t have to write a whole essay about it.
Free him! His mother homeschooled him because she didn’t feel the public school environment could meet his needs. But after COVID hit, the authorities put him in public school, assuring that he’d be accommodated. The mother protested but obliged. Now look! The system failed him!

What leftists have called “white flight” from several Philadelphia neighborhoods in the post-civil rights era could be more accurately described as ethnic cleansing via nonstop violent crime and the threat of such. Do you wanna talk about that anytime soon or nah?
Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest.
A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.

Idk who needs to hear this but any term that is suffixed by “bro” is simply a pejorative for a white guy with an interest, hobby, or in some cases even a job.
