Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

"I don't know how to tell my children that the world saw all this and did nothing... How can a country commit these crimes in front of cameras with impunity?" A cry from a human heart that can no longer bear it... addressed to every conscience that still beats.

i'm so stoked for the murderbot show for a number of reasons but chief among them is that it's pretty rare that SFF written by not-men gets optioned and then actually adapted and filmed and released and i want to see this succeed so that there can be more

people using genAI because they "didn't go to art school, it's too late to learn" : I didn't go to art school, I went back to drawing at 27 and now, 7 years later, drawing is my job cause I worked my ass off learning & practising

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

it's kind of fascinating how none of the ideas on how to fix the crisis of masculinity (or male loneliness or whatever) are ever "men work on connecting with each other and being kinder to others"

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

My hot take is that I think video games and art should cost more but food, housing, and healthcare have to cost less.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

if I were an author and I had a big TV adaptation in the works I prolly wouldn’t tweet that ace people can fuck off on asexual awareness day AND the day the creator of one of the biggest shows on a competing network came out as ace, but clearly I lack the Brains Genious of jowling kowling rowling

Just watched yet another Palestinian burn to death because even if the news isn't reporting it, Israel is massacring, torturing, raping, burning, maiming, burning, decapitating, crushing Palestinians of every age and gender every moment of every day. An evil of unrivaled scale in modern times.

cringe, as an idea, is a dead end. it’s a means of writing off sincerity and earnestness in pursuit of some ill-defined concept of above-it-all cool. letting it help define online culture was a mistake. if you view everything as cringe, you are living an empty life

I wanna know who looked at Tron as a whole...and was like "Yeah, so Jared Leto would be great as the lead in one of these movies."

Most infighting on the left in the US is simply due to the US government spending a century shooting any leftist leader in the head and strangling every organization with. You've never seen a healthy, thriving leftist movement in the US, a Pinkerton put a bullet in its head a century ago

I'm sorry, but I am not okay with laughing at layoffs and economic collapse and homelessness and incarceration in red states. Putting aside that human rights are for all people by virtue of being human, who exactly do you think will disproportionately get laid off, incarcerated, and evicted?

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

PSA: trans people are incredibly smart, charming and funny. We're also principled, creative and talented. Please hire trans people. Trans people will give you brand sex appeal. Trans people ward away tooth decay. Trans people are preferred by 9 out of 10 cats.

We will be stronger if folks are willing to admit that genocide is wrong, Palestinian lives are precious, and apartheid and attacks on civil rights in the name of “Jewish safety” are a Christian nationalist-driven Trojan horse that will destroy us if we don’t shut it down
