I missed that Glenn Greenwald has a paid partnership deal with Kalshi, but he does apparently
"As a permanent resident in Brazil, Glenn Greenwald made a paid partnership with an online betting platform that's activities are illegal here," writes Paulo Motoryn. Does this mean Glenn receives money from a tech giant to encourage illegal online betting on Brazil's election?

I’m saddened to see some of you all engage in the 9,782nd round of discourse about “antisocial behavior on the left” as though we aren’t all living in a 4chan Thunderdome now. Get a grip people!

Also, disability activists aren’t unreasonable. But unreasonable people have existed forever, in all forms, all tendencies. They’ve been overcome or integrated. If you let a so-called “wokescold” derail your campaign or push you out of organizing, I think that’s a skill issue.

Again, skill issue. I would not admit that I got kicked out of an organizing campaign because I didn’t have the social skills to navigate a disagreement about a movie.

I honestly think the reason disability activists trigger so much disdain is because their calls for more solidarity are a fundamentally leftwing critique, and many on the left absolutely cannot handle (or even fathom) being criticized from the left.

Up is down, left is right.
The lesbian bar story is a sad microcosm of much of modern leftist culture. All the most annoying and punitive people are given infinite social capital and anyone who holds them accountable is relentlessly harassed by their orbiters.

Since some of you are willing to take an actual enemy from the Manhattan Institute at his word, instead of @realLandsEnd here’s the portion right after he cut the video: “ Revolution is sustained by care work, networks of food distribution, medicine, transportation, shelter
🚨 “The More Dysgenic, the Better”: Beatrice Adler-Bolton Says the Left Must Give Up the “Fantasy of Being Fitter Than the Fascists” At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that “fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism” and says the goal should not be to become “more useful to the ruling order.” She says the left should not try to beat fascists “at their own game” by becoming “fitter, more eugenic.” “In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.” She closes by arguing that revolution is not “a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies” and that the very idea is itself fascist.

A question I ask while dutifully sharing clips from a right wing troll who is trying to attack the left…
Are all these people paid by the FBI?

Grim is too fucking dim to even try to understand Bea’s argument… but it’s funny when he pretends to take these stands on behalf of the left while he spends most his day collaborating with 2 far right freaks who support things like migrant concentration camps.
Replying to @EoinHiggins_
Didn’t you share one of these also? I genuinely think ignoring isn’t enough. There needs to be a stigma associated with this antisocial behavior.

Yes. Also there’s a massive gap in AI spending between the US and China. And given how much private sector money is at play in the US, the industry relies on marketing of hyped claims to attract customers/investors.
Replying to @EoinHiggins_
That line is becoming increasingly absurd. You think hundreds of billions of dollars are being allocated in China and the U.S. toward this because Sam Altman is a convincing fraudster? Does that actually make sense to you?

Most of the opposition to AI is being driven *by the left* so what exactly is the criticism here? That some opponents of AI are not sufficiently awed by the hype? Who cares?
I’m losing my mind, dude. Is the left going to care about AI risk at any point *until* it’s too late? Will we even care then? When a swarm of new OpenAI models under evaluation shut down a water utility, or a power plant, will we still call it hype? I think we might!

Cenk and Drop Site social media guy (or Grim) are getting rolled by a bunch of nazis. Interesting this stuff is getting promoted just as leftwing candidates opposing US wars, AIPAC, and corporate money are winning elections.
⚡️ Joe Kent says he, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are hoping to build a new political movement or third party built around opposition to U.S. wars, AIPAC, and corporate money, with the initial goal of fielding a candidate for the 2028 presidential campaign. In an interview with Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, Kent said the group met at Carlson’s home in Maine after concluding that both major parties repeatedly deliver “another war in the Middle East” regardless of how Americans vote. Kent said they may follow the 2028 presidential run with down-ballot races, and acknowledged ballot-access hurdles may force them to run an insurgent candidate through an existing party instead. “We don’t want Israel dictating our foreign policy. We don’t want any more foreign wars. We don’t want to have to run a massive empire,” he said. Kent said the group has urged Carlson to run but he has repeatedly declined. They will seek to finance the effort through grassroots donations rather than corporate PACs. “The second you start taking the corporate PAC money… you’re not truly in charge anyways.” On JD Vance, Kent said he still personally likes him but called him “a captive of the two-party system” who will struggle to ask voters to trust him in 2028 after defending Trump’s war. 🎥 Credit: TYT @cenkuygur | @joekent16jan19
