So why is Darryl Cooper pushing some argument about the Russian revolution that is easily refutable? Moscow is a major city -- if the Bolsheviks were doing this, there would be a historical record. Well, there are his ties to the white nationalist movement... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack
Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

Darryl Cooper, a Holocaust revisionist, appeared again on Tucker Carlson's show with a strange claim: that after the Revolution, Bolsheviks erected a statue of Judas Iscariot as part of their campaign of religious persecution. He claims they did so in Moscow. A thread.

Trump is making stuff up: "The radical left wants to ban a thing called gasoline"
“To create a new performance to honor the Ring’s evolving history, Lobbes and his team trained computers with archival images from previous stagings of the show then projected A.I. visuals onto screens that covered the breadth of the stage.”
A.I. Went to the Opera, Creating Images for an Anniversary Production of Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' at the Theater Where He First Staged the Masterpiece
It took Richard Wagner a quarter-century to complete the four-part opera. The new production, called "10010110," uses generative artificial intelligence to explore the artwork’s evolution

Trump: "If you had fair and strong elections, they would lose 25% of their base. They would never be elected again. And I'm trying to explain that to Republicans, but some of them don't quite understand it ... we gotta get the Republicans do be tougher, especially in the Senate."

This is bullshit. Once AIs are feeding off only the output of other AIs, you’ll get the tech equivalent of Mad Cow Disease. Those models will produce even more gibberish than they currently do.

Follow up: Uncommitted voters did not cost Biden anything and did not cause Harris to lose. They made a stance during a primary Biden was guaranteed to win anyway. Racist Trump voters cost Democrats the election and no one could have fixed that unless they had a genie to make Harris a white man.

I agree more or less, but I think it's a function of the mystifying way it's built. Revolver hits all pop music up to that point & invents some new categories. It shouldn't work, yet it somehow coheres as a collection of different, distinct jewels. I have emotional connection to any *one* of them..
