Plenty of fine folks also support throwing people into lifelong torture prisons in El Salvador with no due process. It's only for suspected illegals and totally won't be abused to gulag those who aren't criminal noncitizens, pinkie promise! 🤞

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

The thing about being a trans woman is that there's literally nothing you can do to keep scary people from hating you and wanting you to die. You might as well be a completely authentic freak pervert, because no matter how polite and withdrawn you are they will hate you anyway.

AI is the ideal technology to accompany the decline of America. It caters to the entitled, to those who have no desire to learn and think they know everything, it destroys creativity and critical thinking, and lays the cultural foundation for fascism. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/artificial...

My belief now does land toward a sort of mistake more than conflict theory of how things got this way. I think on the largest scale, something about the brain's scarcity and reward circuits were hijacked and fed into this right-populist / neo-reactionary / neoliberal-nostalgic attractor.

yarvin is like one percent as intelligent as he thinks he is, and his knowledge of history is a quarter inch deep. his only real genius is in packaging his ignorance in a way that made very old right wing ideas sound new and shiny to young tech bros who are nominally literate

Been doing a deep dive into Hoarders lately. It's crazy how much of myself I see in them. It's linked to OCD, ADHD, executive dysfunction, and other neuroses I share. It kinda changed my whole view on habits, we're meant to work and have responsibilities.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, has something to say to us today: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive..."

The unprecedented act of national suicide you're seeing right now is the result of the world's most unchecked ego stewing for 4 years at Mar a Lago dinners full of yes-men and late night Truth social tweetstorms, escalated to full-blown messiah complex by the attempt on his life.

I bet if you scratch even a little on these fuckers and PEPFAR/USAID there's some 1970s population bomb style 'Africa has too many people' thinking as well as the regular eugenics/racism

I think Republicans are projecting their own cynical manipulation of immigration politics onto the other side. They assume that because being super nativist benefits them, then being super pro-immigration must help Democrats, ergo the Democrats must be cynically "importing voters" by the bus load.

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Just had a dream where Trump was suddenly engaging in nuclear brinksmanship about to start WW3. I guess a reminder that as bad as things are, they're not the very worst they can be... not yet. youtu.be/Tj9M34DzAKo?...

Trump was seriously fucking unhinged today. Thought I'd seen it all from him over the last decade, and yet again he manages to find new ways to shock and surprise with new lows of malignant narcissism. May God have mercy on his soul.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

One of my pet peeves with this platform, and one of the reasons I don't use it more often is the character limit. Of all the classic Twitter features it seems like the most needless one to bring back. Discourse isn't made better by reducing it to soundbites. 140 characters is a flip phone era relic.

When the price of eggs inevitably goes up MAGAs are either going to do the Econ101 meme, blame Biden, accept a little temporary hardship as a necessary sacrifice in a broader fight for national glory, or (in extremely rare, statistically insignificant cases) actually reconsider their politics.

Trump pushing us toward a tripolar Oceania-Eurasia-Eastasia new world order. All similarly authoritarian superstates led by strongmen keeping the others in check, and their own populations likewise through an eternal boot to the face.
