I hope that there is some big building somewhere that has been printing out selected shorts from the internet onto archive-quality paper. A backup of the Internet Archive or something.

“We didn’t get the answer we wanted from traditional polling, so we used ChatGPT and it just tells us what we want to hear! It’s amazing!”

I don’t think there’s enough trees for that.

I mean, yeah, I’d like that very much, as a historian. At the very least back up the servers multiple times and put some drives in a fireproof vault and preserve some computers that can read them, and ensure they get onto updated technology…
I don’t think people think about how much time and effort it takes to preserve the raw materials of the past. It isn’t automatic, and we have no idea just how much of the past has already been lost and all our technology isn’t going to do that if we don’t invest in the means to do so, especially the expertise.
To bring it back to the election, fascists understand how critical it is to control our view of the past. They’ll gut an independent national archive and Library of congress. Public universities will lose funding for their archival programs, especially those that represent marginalized people… I think smaller, privately held archives would soldier through a fascist regime, but if a nation-state is to remain democratic (or become more democratic) then a neutral archive is necessary to tell the stories of all us…

Most of the national polls have reported (or engineered) their results are within the margin of error (“They’re neck and neck!!”). Yet they have to report some-sort of motion, and all they’ve got left (by design?) is to suggest that within their margin of error it has become even more within the margin of error? (“It’s gone from inconclusive to inconclusiver!!” …so you-all don’t know so profoundly that you can nullify conclusivity from your immediate surrounds?)

Anyone who isn’t in a nervous sweat right now is either comatose, chuckle-headed, sinister or just working on a really, really difficult jigsaw puzzle. Canadians are especially worried. At least Americans get a vote. We are like hostages locked in the trunk of a car driven by a drunken badger.

Wouldn’t take much. Il Douche is pretty antivaccine already. He always has been.

Did he try to use misogyny to insult younger men only to come off as a creepy old pedo with a rape fetish? Idk that’s my read.

“Real men keep harems of boys as sex slaves” is a pretty weird flex but I guess it’s not too surprising given the bizarre directions the Man-fluencer movement has been moving in lately.
Other toxic dudebros like Andrew Tate have been dropping comments claiming that men having recreational sex with women is gay.
