Mars Review of Books is a literary magazine featuring the sort of writer who thinks Moldbug is the greatest stylist to assault the written word and lists their Urbit address. Yeah, it's a group substack.

"With the sudden death of Sports Illustrated, they decided to take on the responsibility of offering yearly swimsuit editions."

is Thiel running out of places to spend his money or something

Bronze Age Shawty

This is the person X/Twitter is underwriting a lawsuit for wrongful termination, after she was exceedingly unpleasant on Shitter.

Also she was fired from Block which is as neo-reactionary a company as you can find.

Edit here's more background, via TechDirt

When confronted about the tweets, Happe lied and said she did not make them. She was then fired a few weeks later. [...] Block has every right to fire her because of its own rights of association, as well as simply because she lied to them. Your right to free speech means the government can’t punish you for your speech, but others have every right (their own First Amendment association rights) to want nothing to do with you. And that’s all that’s happened here. Hoppe is facing the consequences of her disgusting speech.

this is so much worse than I imagined. I assumed these were normal models who didn’t want to use their regular stage names for this particular contract so the mars review made up some names for them

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.]
