Over at #ReasonMagazine's site the main headline today is an examination of #PeterThiel's hypocritical statements about the evils of #Authoritarianism. He's probably a swell guy to have a beer with, but his lack of self-reflection and idolization of Sauromon from Lord of the Rings makes a worst-case scenario for #AI.
#ABCnewsRadio #Australia repeatedly playing an interview with the senior editor of #ReasonMagazine in this mornings news bulletin:
“#Trump is a shoe-in to win the #NobelPeacePrize & #Obama did nothing & only got his because he won an election.”
Reason Magazine:
Reason.com is the leading #libertarian magazine and video website covering news, politics, culture, and more with reporting and analysis.
i did not know about Leadbelly’s “stay woke” - more confirmation that the current reactionary “anti-woke” cultural movement is literally just the unbroken lineage of Ku Klux Klan bullshit.

In other words, POTUS doesn't get to decide what is or isn't a fact. I'm not sure this is a First Amendment violation though. I'll be curious to read his next piece. #ReasonMagazine #GulfOfMexico
It's been almost a month, so I had to make sure I published SOMETHING before the calendar turns over this weekend.

on june 30, 2018, alt-right fascist Erin Smith yelled homophobic slurs & brutally assaulted someone who was laying on the ground after they had been knocked down from a punch by convicted #January6 #SeditiousConspiracy #ProudBoys leader #EthanNordean.
#ReasonMagazine's right wing pundit #NancyRommelmann ignored this incident (and many others) & laundered Smith as a "conservative". https://kolektiva.media/w/uVetLZzej5CfB8CWXfH4yz
