Re: Libertarian idiots explain why they think Marxists should actually support Ayn Rand

I wish Mike Huben's newer version of his Critiques of Libertarianism website was still operating, here is the linkrot-filled original, last updated in 2011 . Libertarianism is a cult for people who majored in business as college undergraduates, and a hobby for Republicans who like smoking dope on th...

"Blowing Up the Crypto Cartel" by Jacob Silverman, "The Baffler"

https://thebaffler.com/outbursts/blowing-up-the-crypto-cartel-silverman This should be in any BLP of Sam Bankman-Fried or Wikipedia article on cryptocurrencies.....it turns out the entire thing is a front, a cartel posing as a free market (color me shocked!) where the "whales" are gaming the entire ...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

This stuff should be part of the collection of San Diego State articles on en.Wikipedia: http://wikipedia-sucks-badly.blogspot.com/2023/08/5505-lindo-paseo-sdsus-hidden.html The tl;dr is that the 2014 frathouse "mansion" at 5505 Lindo Paseo was built on top of a previous pair of single-story ranch h...

Re: The "Lil Tay"/Tay Tian/Claire Eileen Qi Hope mess

lol Someday the history of the early internet will be written--and it will probably carom from one idiotic "scandal" like this to another. Suckering people is not difficult, most of them seem to want to be suckered....but social media makes it a thousand times easier and cheaper. And given the mise...

Re: the evil of Twitter

Think this 'X' rebrand will actually start to peel away users. The site has become a complete mess of spam, bots, and grifters. The only 'anti-Twitter' people who thrive on Twitter nowadays probably aren't unlike the rest of Twitter at this point. There is a large number of pre-Musk people who have...

The "Lil Tay"/Tay Tian/Claire Eileen Qi Hope mess

For once Wikipedia's lumbering style of editing worked in its favor, because she isn't listed as "dead" , while Google's infoboxes say she died on August 9th. In fact, the Wikipedia article has one of those "current event" tags, so things will shift. Until Elon Musk's shambling, demoralized "X" vari...

Re: Vigilant thinks Assange should be jailed for questioning the US Imperial regime

The idea that Assange is a Russian asset is utterly insane.... Vigiliant is too stupid to understand that if Assange is tried in the US, it will destroy investigative journalism, because the government will finally have its good working case for the Espionage Act, so both whistleblowing at a federal...
