Agree. Also frustrated desire for intimate homosociality mixes with frustrated desire to be submissive. It gets sublimated into the performative cruelty of the whole alpha male thing, whereby you prove yourself to "manlier" men and so get called a good boy (though probably not in such direct words)

this is also behind a lot of transphobia: a visceral revulsion at the idea of your children shaping their own selves

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

I've been listening to Mayhem (on repeat) with headphones and it's wild how much sonic texture is added. I fully did not hear the vocal fry talking parts on Disease before, and they're cool as hell

The internet loves that drag from Moradi about the US only having heroes in SpongeBob and Spider-Man, but… it’s not a good insult, because that’s a good thing. Anyway let’s talk about video games Ratchet & Clank & Iranian General Soleimani youtu.be/spaW8ErTu5w

My theory is that the whole alpha male obsession in some "masc" spaces is a sublimated submission fantasy. Typically straight men who long to submit to a "stronger" man, to be called a good boy, to get daddy's approval. To get this, they perform a similar cruel masculinity to prove themselves worthy

All of the people cheering on Luigi and saying that he did nothing wrong when he executed a premeditated murder make me really uncomfortable. Once you say that he’s justified, I can’t trust that you aren’t going to say political violence against more people is justified, and that’s a real bad path.

it was funny for about a day that the shooter happens to be hot but beyond that “we should get to murder people on the street if they’re complicit in economic systems we find personally unjust” is such a BEYOND fucked-up way to organize a society and i’m humiliated at how many of you don’t get that?

I've been going through the photos i've taken over the years and it's fun to give things titles. For instance, I named this "Little Top, Big Bottom" because the big boat is carrying a lot of loads

I’ve been researching the Log Cabin for a video essay (cringe, I know), and it’s crazy that they went from suing to end Don’t Ask Don’t Tell to… leadership defending Don’t Say Gay

we're going to need independent, authoritative medical statisticians - probably having to compile data down to the level of individual hospitals in red states - to measure the rise in deaths as a result of this, because they're corrupting or removing the data at the federal level

Of course there is the corollary: "THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN THE OSCARS." a.) Yes! b.) Caring about something fundamentally unimportant is vital, no matter how dark things become. c.) We need art and conversations around it! The Oscars, though very silly, start those conversations.

I urge people to read Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership. But it's nearly 1000 pages, so it's understandable if you'd rather not. There's been plenty of reporting over it you can familiarize yourself with. I have a long video briefly going over some of the egregious parts youtu.be/JJjvD5cACqU

It's okay for people to spend some time on art and pop culture like the Oscars rather than solely focus on Trump or any other struggle. Breaks and joy are both important. They aren't merely mollifying distractions.

Isn't the actual headline story of the Trump administration so far that he's doing Project 2025 word for word?
