Six policy wonks with very strong views, six opinionated journalists rallying from their respective platforms against the #US “arming #Ukraine and fuelling a neocon proxy #war”.
The host, #ThaddeusRussell, asks the most relevant question: “It’s absolutely essential that we clarify our position here, otherwise we are sitting ducks for what they say about us. Otherwise, it becomes true that we are #Putin stooges. […] This is essential, I need to know from you guys, as fan of yours: where do you actually stand on this?”
Genius 1: “I favour the cessation or mitigation of warfare rather than the perpetuation of it”.
Host: “OK. So does that mean a negotiated settlement, giving #Russia Donbas and Crimea, and nothing else?”
Genius 1: “I only really have a principle which is to cease the warfare rather than perpetuate it”.
Genius 2: “I think there should be negotiations. I’m not a diplomat, so I don’t see a point in me putting a solution on the table.”
Genius 3: “As much as I weep for the the predicament of the people in Ukraine, ultimately my greater concern is for all of humanity and for World War III”.
…And that’s why I can’t take seriously most of the naive anti-war rhetoric :P

Here’s the not-so-secret recipe for strong passphrases: a random element like dice, a long list of words, and math. And as long as you have the first two, the third takes care of itself. All together, this adds up to diceware, a simple but powerful method to create a passphrase that even the most...
Enough with the idiotic pseudo-arguments pointing to #ElectionFraud in the #US!
Latest: #ThaddeusRussell on his #Unregistered #podcast (again).
Imagine insisting on the likelihood that somebody raped someone by repeating that “the motive! By God he had a strong motive. The guy really, really likes sex. We know that for sure. And we know that there have been rapes before. And the system is not perfect! A rape is so easy to commit! C'mon, I'm just saying there was motive, there were ample opportunities, and the means were there!”

I sat down with one of the last real journalists in the United States, Katie Herzog, formerly a highly controversial staff writer at the alt-weekly newspaper The Stranger and now a less controversial but freer and highly successful podcaster as the co-host of Blocked and Reported with Jesse Singal.

The renowned blogger Curtis Yarvin, also known by his former pen name Mencius Moldbug, returned to the podcast to bend my mind on the politics of COVID, the meaning of a Biden presidency, and a host of other issues that I thought I knew well. No one makes me think harder. Sign up to participate in
