"The left gets a new publication"
it's right wing
it's a substack
You don't hear too many leftists saying things like this:
I think that the Democratic Party has two factions; they disagree on a ton of important stuff. I think that the neoliberals are right on nearly all of those disagreements, and the progressives are wrong on nearly all of the disagreements.
it’s weird that Piper keeps getting paid to make content, but I’ve never once seen anyone claim to enjoy any of her work…
Has Piper ever been paid to write by an organization that was not funded by her college buddies like Caroline Ellison and Open Philanthropy staffers? RationalWiki mentions Vox (EA funded), something called Asterisk (EA funded), and this Substack blog.
Someone mispelled "painfully triangulated center" as "left".
that's center as in race realist
and what’s at the center of race realism? Cereal. Guys. Big Grain is behind all this. /s
And they already showed their hand a bit: https://bsky.app/profile/gbbranstetter.bsky.social/post/3lwobzemlz22j, They wanted to defend gender norms before quickly editing it to be pro gender expression.
I love that their stated "Pitch us!" suggestion box email address pitches@theargument.com doesn't appear to have any registered MX records.
I wonder if this is an intentional shredder meme situation (I doubt it), and if not how long it will take them to notice. (I'm assuming that's the domain they wanted but haven't quite been able to buy it yet, not very serious.)
EDIT: Fixed already.
Yay! some nice

MFW these people claim to be "the left"

It shows great confidence in their ability to find paying readers that aside from Substack's VC money they also borrowed $4 million to pay themselves. They don't need an office, printing and distribution, or a sales team and Substack provides and maintains all the IT infrastructure (maybe one admin assistant / bookkeeper).

And most of the contributors have other jobs.
Wish the microblogger had archived the old text for verification but I can believe that Piper believes that marrying a femme and having many children while working a full-time, high-prestige job counts as a traditional gender role.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
