After a rising political star was accused of sexual assault in June, allies dismissed it, w/ one brushing it off, saying there's a "different threshold" for assault among gay men. Two more accusers emerged last week. And now, his allies have much to answer for. www.coyotemedia.org/after-manny-...

it's almost as if all the money in media goes to people who actively choose to avoid challenging wealth and power
Newton and Roose, who have been pushing wacky AGI shit, have apparently been chatting with Tarbell and ultimately got 480K to start their own podcast.
Tarbell, notably, is funded by a who's who of Effective Altruists worried about AI-God.
