That’s borderline numerology. He’s obviously a right-wing dipshit, but you’re just looking for dogwhistles instead of calling him out for what he’s actually saying.

How is a Swedish Swiss gun company and a date 75 years before Hitler was born a Nazi dogwhistle?

Cutting her off was definitely rude, but I agree that it’s silly to ask everyone you meet if they wrote each book you want to discuss with them.

If you had something like

Alice: I’ve been researching a guy recently, do you know anything about him?

Bob: I recently read a book about him, have you heard of it?

Alice: I wrote that book.

Bob: Wow, cool to meet you. I really liked your work!

Bob still assumes that Alice didn’t write the book until told otherwise, but he doesn’t cut her off, and this conversation is perfectly pleasant.

She’s apparently a good person who’s as outraged at his behavior as the rest of us, so maybe don’t do that.

He’s Canadian.

1. Make a statement that is at best wildly controversial and at worst blatantly untrue
2. Redefine the words in that statement to make it vacuously true and completely uninteresting
3. When challenged, say that you don’t care about common parlance

It doesn’t literally rhyme, but it’s a decent metaphor. Much more pithy and it gets the point across.

Israel has now invaded or otherwise attacked Iran, Lebanon, and Syria in addition to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and ongoing settler colonialism in the West Bank.

Nothing is perfectly safe. You can kill yourself with water poisoning, and that’s pumped directly into your house.

ALDI sells some really good salted caramel chocolates.

It isn’t exactly difficult to get chocolate that tastes like chocolate.

They won’t always admit it, but they definitely imply it.

They have three categories: “biological woman,” which is a fertile cis woman with XX chromosomes and a vulva; “biological man,” which is a fertile or formerly fertile cis man with XY chromosomes; and undesirables, who are everyone else and are referred to by whichever terminology is convenient for them at any given point.

Younger consumers seem to very disproportionately favor small studios and individual creators with actors who at least pretend to be enjoying themselves, so I think things are likely getting better, if maybe slowly.

They’re copying Al-Qaeda’s strategy

LLMs are always the same everything as the Internet. All they do is try to respond to things like a typical Internet user.
