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.]

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.

Someone mispelled "painfully triangulated center" as "left".

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…

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.
