NOTAM System Name Change and Linguistic Shifts

Adam Curry notes a recent change in the FAA's NOTAM system, which formerly stood for "Notice to Airmen" and has been renamed "Notice to Air Missions." This shift toward gender-neutral language is presented as an example of the "supreme" system changing definitions on the fly. The hosts argue that these constant alterations to language constitute a form of "violence" by destabilizing shared truth.

The "Trick Baby" Strategy and Neutralizing Leaders

A clip from the 1974 film "Trick Baby" explains a social engineering strategy where "smart ones" from the ghetto are moved up into white society to neutralize them as potential leaders. By providing creature comforts and Ivy League educations, the elite turn these individuals into "safe" versions of themselves who are alienated from their original communities. This model is applied to figures like Bill Clinton and his path as a Rhodes Scholar.

Lizzo, Body Neutrality and Social Media Backlash

Singer Lizzo responded to Jillian Michaels' comments with a profane social media post, while activist Jameela Jamil defended Lizzo against "concern trolling." The debate centers on whether public figures have the right to comment on a celebrity's health based on their appearance. Lizzo's brand is heavily tied to her size, leading some to suggest that her career success is intrinsically linked to her role as a body-positive icon.

Trick Baby 1974, Neutralizing Smart Leaders

A clip from the 1974 film "Trick Baby" illustrates a strategy for neutralizing potential leaders by moving them into "white society" and providing creature comforts. The hosts argue this cinematic dialogue accurately reflects how modern leaders are turned into tools for their handlers, losing their racial identity and anger in exchange for status. They suggest this system is now being unveiled as more people become "woke" to these tactics.
