#129. I think you're confusing that
Welcome to the NRP. We are publishing the absolute best of those extremely online extremists known as the "New Right."
đ§”Threads of the Weekđ§”
> You know when youâre watching a Shitlib Moment on a TV show. âHere we go,â you say, getting up to take a bathroom break. Suddenly youâre Tony Soprano in a bathrobe, rolling your eyes at the latest PC bullshit your daughter brought home from college. Because you know better. Because thatâs not the way the world actually works, thatâs not how people behave. But to the liberal mind, these scenes where nazis are put in their place by sassy girlbosses are not just power fantasies â they are a kind of reality.
> Speaking of forced Hollywood diversity, the Black Science Man trope carries on, but the aspirational Black Everyman has been Terminated.
> Instead, stop watching TV and just read some Shakespeare.
> Passage Press gives a eulogy for its annual Passage Prize contest.
> Russians and Americans, the misbegotten sons of Europe, locked in forever conflict. Maybe a relief, maybe a nightmare. Nothing you can do about it. (This post was written by a Russian, can you believe it?)
> Computers is worse. Retvrn to manual carseat adjustment.
đŹCringe CornerđŹ
>Â It is with a heavy heart that we report that Blaze Media, despite a recent acquisition of many based personalities, has posted cringe. Albin Sadar writes that âSure, the left has Taylor Swift, but we have Catturd,â which could have made for a cathartic shitpost about how the right is a bunch of born losers, but unfortunately the author means itâs a good thing. Have you looked at Catturdâs feed? Itâs just a guy saying, literally, âCry more commieâ every hour or so. He is an avatar of the unsympathetic boomercon, telling you to âbuckle up, buttercupâ and calling libs snowflakes, pandering with low-effort, subbituminous coal, all day every day. He is the polar opposite of a right wing cultural vanguard. Albin appears to be a boomer himself, so he canât help it, but the Blaze? Despite shoveling all that coal, their fire burns a little less brightly today. đ
đ„A/V of the Weekđ„
> You simply must watch a team of brave Chilean policewammen competing in a SWAT challenge.
> RFK Jr. finally loses his gift of gab.

In this discussion with Slumzog on his Barebactrian podcast, they talk about a bunch of gay stuff, and get to the root of homosexuality as an identity and how itâs been instrumentalized against ânormal people.â
> Bukele claps back epic style at Western journalists who would deny his miracle.
> This clip of Eric Prince talking about how America should just annex other countries that canât take care of themselves has folks calling for a Trump/Prince ticket.

đŠTweets of the WeekđŠ
There you have it, folks. As always, we are publishing All the Shit thatâs Fit to Poast, twice a week. Follow us on Twitter to see our take on who posted the top thread, A/V, longread and tweet, along with lots of other banter and hijinks between issues that you wonât see on Substack. See you next time!
IRT the "software delay" thread:
I'm a software engineer at a mid to large sized software company and have noticed this "delay" in our own software.
One reason for this is that as any software company grows so does the size of the codebase. It becomes significantly more bloated, more inefficient, and harder to understand as the years go by and the engineers responsible for writing the original code leave the company or forget code they wrote in the past. Often you end building off of this old code or having to utilize parts of it as you build net new code which leads to the software getting slower and having more bugs. There's no way around this other than to rewrite old code or improve it and that doesn't happen in favor of writing net new code and creating new features.
The other reason is a shift away from an engineering focus to a more product focus when writing software. Our product managers run the show. Engineering has little to no say in what we work on so old code is never cleaned up, never optimized, never made more efficient. The company focus is new features all the time. They care about how it looks, not how it actually functions. From a user point of view the software looks shiny, new, friendly to use but performs terribly and breaks for little to no reason(at least from the user perspective). Our sales team sells new features that haven't been created yet so that way we can sign new clients and boost revenue without having actually delivered anything. This way, as far as our shareholders are concerned, "line go up" even though overall our product and service get worse.
If the left has Taylor Swift and the right has Catturd then maybe Iâm on the wrong side
