HUGE respect for Greta Thunberg! She has bigger balls than many man.

Note that the people who use Democrats' gerontocracy against all leftists everywhere, happily call a 22-year-old a child. Unclear whether they think the Israeli soldier is granted adulthood through submission to their government, or whether they think the soldier is also a child, just a good one.

I'm one of those people who loves the biting wit of British anarchism, but every so often I see the kind of thing that spurred them into such a reaction and it is *bad*. Women also do it but are delegated to pulling rank as Titus 3 women -- sorry, women who understand the *facts of life*.

I wish whenever Democrats did the boilerplate "Of course I believe that violent or destructive protesters should be arrested," they'd add, "Unlike our president who pardons them if they are beating on cops for him."

deploying loyalist troops to opposition strongholds to stir up violence and unrest that will be the pretense to the deployment of military assets. literally any other country doing this would be plastered all over Faux News with the scariest possible chevrons

I've come to the conclusion that protesting your shitty government to prove to foreigners etc that dissent exists is important, actually. Doesn't make you effective or good, but proves an opposition *even exists*.

The ratfic discussion was "part of the reason you prefer the villain is because they're the only one with agency" And, I mean, that's part of why Evil Is Sexy, the women act like they *want* it and the men are a little gay and creepy because they want the *wrong things*

were I on Tumblr I would tag this Ianthe Tridentarius

I regret to inform y'all this was one of the defining features of rationalist fiction, endorsed by Yud himself (I *liked* Girl Intercorrupted. I have never claimed good taste.)

The "post a thread all at once" feature is great until you leave the phrase "I don't believe" hanging ominously in the final post

Reason one to check the work of LLMs, and with machine translation by older methods: I'm also actually trying to learn Russian and should consume some source material.

In my hatereading NRX phase I was constantly told by them (and occasionally the TERFs I also hateread) that women only had any rights because men as a collective generously gave them and could take them back at any time

I know the Russian opposition are dirty imperialists but citing the Harvard Crimson is laying it on a little thick

I am not sure whether it is an apt or *terrible* thing that "bootstrapping" refers to both "what economic conservatives tell poor people to do" and "what we think might actually work to make something smarter than us".

(disclaimer that the stakes aren't as high for my country right now) it's always worth dipping a toe in the water to produce evidence of how "silenced" you are, ya know?

Anybody who thinks that Bluesky is a bubble where people just reinforce each others’ opinions should try sharing an opinion on Bluesky.

... oh shit, really? I had a LOT of very smug right-leaning Italian-Australians pull rank on me before the great Russian reversal, and they if anything are waving the Australian flag! We have em at ethnic food places, but Americans apparently like flags regardless of where they're ~really from~.

I’m sure the #2A ammosexuals will be along aaaaany minute now to resist gubmint tyranny in LA.

There are interesting questions of LA's *unusually* vast urban sprawl here, but one fun fact is that California and Kyiv have almost same population.

Someday I will upload a goddamn Substack piece. Soon, I hope.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Mothers of these men usually encourage them to direct their violence outside the family! Their *wives* are occasionally naive enough to ignore it. Their children often have higher moral standards but usually have to hide it. I am informed sometimes siblings make each other better...

I've spent over a decade been morally postured at by leftist and libertarian open borders people and *my* restrictionist ass is telling you to cool it Fuck off. I'm not destroying liberal society to save it.

If there's one thing I know about historical warfare it's that paying your soldiers is a *really good idea* if you would like them to fight for you.

Yeahhhh AI translation is a classic "won't replace a professional, will improve quality of the non-professional jobs people are already doing". Being a weeb isn't my primary thing but I've seen enough of both janky fan translation and dishonest corpo translation that eh fuck it my trust is low

You fool! My AI output has em dashes because it's a translation job on text that already had them!

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.
