…2 yrs after Wilson filed that name-change petition (&…9 days after #Musk endorsed #Trump…), her father spoke about her…w/ #manosphere influencer Jordan Peterson, repeatedly deadnaming Wilson & claiming she’d been “killed by the woke mind virus.” During that interview, Musk built on the picture of Wilson painted in Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography…. In that telling…she was an angry, rebellious child, blinded by radical anticapitalist ideology & hurting her father w/her rash decisions.

"Adolescence shone a light on how the so-called manosphere - male rage and misogynistic influences online - could affect boys and young men's mental health.

"The show, starring Stephen Graham, follows the family of a 13-year-old schoolboy who is arrested for killing a female classmate, and explores the impact of social media and misogynist influencers on some boys."

"On measure after measure, trying to find a crisis that uniquely affects #youngmen draws a blank. Where disparities do exist, such as in education, or in suicide rate – much higher among #men than #women – they are longstanding, rather than new. The idea that there is some genuine crisis facing young men is a decade-old narrative. It also seems to be…false."

"Authoritarian forces around the world are reshaping digital technologies into tools of control. Imara Jones dives into the growing threat of digital authoritarianism in the United States with writer & scholar Katherine Alejandra Cross. Katherine unpacks why social media has become such a radicalizing force in the wake of the SARScov2 pandemic and development of individualizing algorithms. She & Imara also dig into the techno-authoritarian beliefs behind the "California ideology,” the way that Web 2.0 undermines collective action, and why Elon Musk’s power grab is a sign of desperation within Silicon Valley elite."—TransLash Podcast

"Over the last two years, Rogan and his band of politically incorrect merry men in Texas, have grown more openly partisan and more explicitly right-wing. But their brand of politics looks nothing like the WASPy Chamber of Commerce conservatism of old that hates gays and loves austerity.

It’s a bit of a “Don’t Tread on Me,” Bro-style of Ron Paul–adjacent libertarianism that favors free markets, low taxes, and deregulated vices — everyone should be able to do drugs, gamble on sports, watch porn, and trade crypto on demand. They also agree with Democrats on gay marriage and abortions but can’t stand liberals’ sometimes shrill moralism when it comes to matters of top-down diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and what they consider the “woke” agenda. It’s what some have branded “Barstool Conservatism” after Barstool Sports and its obnoxious founder, Dave Portnoy. But Rogan’s politics are less Barstool than Portnoy and others in the Manosphere. He sometimes sounds more like a disaffected progressive. “Free health care? Yes!” Rogan once told his Mothership audience. “Education for all? Right on! Men can get pregnant — fuck! I didn’t realize it was a package deal.”

But that disaffection, plus the courting of his big audience among those in MAGAworld has led Rogan to become something during the 2024 election cycle that he wasn’t before — a quirky but relatively garden-variety Republican talking head, like a tattooed Tucker Carlson. Roughly a third of his shows now feature right-leaning pundits and tech CEOs to riff on, say, cancel culture and the joys of dismantling the federal government. Rogan’s now something like the court jester for Big Tech and MAGA’s counterrevolution."

The New Republic · The 199 Things You Can’t Say in the Trump AdministrationIt’s no surprise that the president deleted “climate change” from government websites. But why forbid “advocate” and “institutional”?

"The self-proclaimed misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrived in the US last week, after the American government lobbied for the brothers to have a travel ban lifted. They are currently facing charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Romania, and are under investigation for rape and human trafficking in the UK. They deny all charges."—Times Radio
