J.D. Vance in Hot Water for Praising Book Calling Liberals “Unhumans”

Donald Trump’s running mate praised a book riddled with conspiracies and calling to “crush” non-Republicans.

♦️Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) ♦️was written by the #Pizzagate guy,
Jack #Posobiec,
and ghostwriter Joshua #Lisec,
with a foreword by the recently imprisoned MAGA movement architect Steve #Bannon.

The book supposedly tracks the opponents of conservatism throughout history and endorses a modern-day
#McCarthyism to root out the “radicals” from American institutions.

“On a base level, unhumans seek the death of the successful and the desecration of the beautiful,” Posobiec and Lisec claimed.

When comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the French Revolution, they wrote: “There is no way to reason with those who manipulate the have-nots en masse to loot and to shoot. They simply hate those who are good-looking and successful.”

#Vance provided a glowing promotional blurb about the book, which is included on the website of right-wing publisher Skyhorse Publishing.

“In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags.
Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms
to wage lawfare against good, honest people,” wrote Vance.

“In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.”

Of course, their far-right screed has dark implications.

After Trump was indicted in May on 34 criminal charges, Posobiec advocated for violent revolt against progressives.

“Take the path of the hunter, and with one singular voice, we are going to make them the prey,” he said.

Since accepting the nomination at the Republican National Convention last week,
Vance has been consistently embroiled in controversy over his past statements,
including his blatantly sexist comment about “childless cat ladies”
and humiliating rumors about having sex with a couch.

Beneath it all, Vance is still part of the intellectual
“new right” movement,
influenced by pronatalism,
techno-authoritarianism,
and conservative economic populism.

Evidently, his reading list also includes extremist, conspiratorial material
—if he even bothered to read it, before lending his name to it.

Either way, Vance gave Posobiec, and all of his dangerous and ridiculous ideas, a boost.

Andra Watkins writes about what it was like growing up in a white Christian nationalist culture in which "every accomplishment that did not lead to me marrying a Good Christian Husband and producing as many Good Christian Babies as God gave me was met with admonitions, guilt trips, and raging disapproval."

She says,

"I’m not sharing stories from 100 years ago. It was the mid-1980s, not the dark ages."

Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.

Charles Blow on why we all, and not just Black people, have to form a line of defense for Kamala Harris as she's attacked by racists and misogynists:

"That line of defense, has to be a political force far broader than the Black community because her candidacy, a contest against a man who tried to overturn the results of the last presidential election, represents nothing less than the preservation of our constitutional order."

"Yesterday FBI Director Christopher Wray said, ironically in response to a question from Rep. Jim Jordan, that it’s not clear whether Trump was hit by a bullet or debris kicked up by the gunfire. I think in context that’s likely a bureaucratic and gentle way of saying Trump probably wasn’t hit by a bullet. But let’s stick to the precise words. 'There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.'”

Josh Marshall says that, despite the fact that Pennsylvania State Police briefed reporters that Trump had been hit by flying debris and not a bullet, when Trump said a bullet hit his ear, "that was the story followed universally in the press."

Wonder why that would be? Why would the media discount out of hand testimony of eyewitnesses who were on the scene? And why they did no investigating?

I suspect a lot of us know why they allowed Trump to frame the story with a lie.

@BruceMirken Yes, that's well-known, of course. I also think that Stephens is correct to characterize WSJ as mainstream media. To me, it has never appeared much more than a right-wing rag. But to many "centrists," it's a credible, respectable publication — capable of the highly unethical practice of publishing these two editorial statements by the same hack within weeks of each other. Shameful and shameless, as if we don't have eyes to see and heads on our shoulders….

"Except that no. It wasn’t. The most obvious choice for a replacement, if that was truly the way to go, barely got a mention. A white woman from Michigan, admittedly popular but hardly a national household name, got all kind of love. A white man with roughly the same credentials – and lack of same – also got love.

But the Black woman already in the co-driver’s seat, ready to go at the drop of a hat, kept getting mostly overlooked."

"Donald Trump held no elective office before running for president and filed for bankruptcy six times before becoming a reality TV star. JD Vance has only been in elected office for less than two years, backed by his Silicon Valley benefactor, Peter Thiel. Nothing in their backgrounds suggests serious qualification of any kind for the jobs of President or Vice President of the United States.

So what makes Kamala Harris a 'DEI' hire?"

I don't get #politics

If JD Vance fucked a couch that is easily the most moral, human, and relatable thing I've ever heard about him

Let he who has never fucked a couch cast the first stone.

Seriously.

Let them.

I can't cast the first stone. I lost that privilege when I was like 13.

My breath caught in my throat. My heart pounded. This couldn’t be real. How could this happen to me? Me?? Hadn’t I been a good person? Did I commit some horrific sin? My mind reeled as I tried to think of why, why???What foul karma had befallen me??

I stared into the cupboard in dawning horror, as panic threatened to overtake my already tenuous state of calm. I couldn’t unsee it, no matter how hard I tried.

The basket was bare.

Someone had eaten the last of the chocolate.

One hopes he's wrong about the buyability... but then one also casts a side eye on all the money that flowed in after Joe noped out.

If we pull together to get her elected and she turns on us... 🤬

@shonin you are fit in gardening, do you know, if I need two Avocado trees for having fruits or is one enough? I have one for now, but am not sure...

I'm told one tree can do its own thing, two may increase chances (I have seldom seen them, they are south of me). https://ecofamilylife.com/garden/how-avocado-trees-self-pollinate/

Do you want to solve a PDE on a surface with interior boundary conditions at points or curves, perhaps for geometry processing problems? My PhD student Nathan King has a new ACM Transactions on Graphics paper that will do the trick! His work extends the Closest Point Method to support interior boundaries, and demonstrates its usefulness in a variety of visual applications. All it requires is a closest point function for the surface!

Since it only needs a closest point function for the surface, it works for the explicit or implicit representation of your choice: meshes, parametric surfaces, level set surfaces, point clouds, or whatever else you can dream up.

Check out the paper here: https://nathandking.github.io/projects/CPM_IBC_GP/

Or better yet, if you're at SIGGRAPH 2024 in Denver, track Nathan down and he can tell you all about it!

i thought it was the closest point on the surface first, but it's the 3d euclidean distance in cartesian coordinates! and yet it does surface flow! magic.

I think I would have trouble with that many all at once in my house. One huntsman spider at a time is very cute. They are surprisingly interactive!

I've read that jumping spiders and others that depend on seeing prey clearly at a distance have particularly good eyesight. I've played with little jumping spiders by moving my hand around near them. They move and shift to follow your movements. Not afraid. I've had them jump onto my finger.

Nifty little guys.

Linux Mint 22 is a great Linux desktop, whether you've never used Linux before or you're an old pro.

I've tried a zillion desktop distros - it doesn't get any better than Linux Mint 22

Linux Mint's latest release continues its tradition of excellence. It's easy to learn and use, faster than Windows, and runs on a thrift-store PC. What more can you ask for?
