“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

And now... A man who ALWAYS needs an introduction... Obliak the Mind Eraser!

Your next line is, "I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club!"

So I can't sleep and was watching the documentary from last year about Vice, called Vice is Broke. It's mostly just ok, but watching the interview with Gavin McInnis made me realize something about a lot of Trump discourse.

Having blue hair and pronouns is actually incredibly cool, that's why the most emotionally constipated people in the world get so mad about it

You're telling me a noise cancelled these headphones??

In fairness the problem is more that like 60% of the general US adult population cannot read in a way that results in comprehending what the author's intent was

this Naomi Wolf? Anyway.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Sometimes I try to think of what RCBG merch would even look like and the two ideas I can think of are: - Marketable Katherine plushie - T-shirt that says "I lost at ranked competitive breast growth"

“how did we meet? oh, you know the way everyone these days meets their significant other: online. what website? oh, just the Democratic House Oversight Committee’s Dropbox comments on a photo of Jeffrey Epstein smiling like a toddler who just shat his pants”

nah i'm just kidding, i'm not gonna work until i'm dead, i'm gonna get killed by a car bomb in the second american civil war while walking down the street in occupied Newark

So many northeastern libs in elite circles are sooooo squishy and embarrassed by themselves, which was a strange thing to encounter after spending the first 25 years of my life in the South, where being left of center requires you to at least have the courage of your convictions

We Know the Devil made me gay, so you might as well pick that one up, too.

our lesboge for less than cost of sandwich

Ava Cordero was one of the first victims of Jeffery Epstein to make public allegations against the child sex trafficking billionaire in 2007. Ava was a transgender Latina woman. the New York media retaliated with transphobia: slandering, deadnaming, & shaming her for being assaulted as a child.

Rufo, Hanania, and Miller were all born in August of 1985, which makes me wonder wtf was going on that month

Winter Soldier code words, but instead of activating an assassin, they activate the puppygirl, unbeknownst to said sub.

Transgender for everybody

quick doodle of lesbian i mean uh lebanne

in conclusion, you should read Witch Hat Atelier, a fantasy manga that is not-really-secretly about the creative process

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program. That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

And, no, these craven horror show haters will not stop with — and have no interest in stopping with — children. The "under 19" decision from the beginning of the Trump administration made that clear, but it has appeared in other ways and will continue to do so.

Just like "sports fairness" has never been about sports fairness, this is not about whatever RFK Jr. and his crank patrol are spouting today. It's about control and blame, like it always is.

They will not succeed — both because they are wrong and because, ultimately, such people always fail. The only question is how many people will be harmed in the interim and what we, as people who care, will do to support and protect those being targeted. (This, to be clear, is not a new question.)

My private equity owned dentist does things a little differently. I pay a monthly fee to keep the teeth I already have, and if I unsubscribe they send a guy to knock them out

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

MAGA is restoring traditional masculinity by slavishly bending to every command from an elderly reality TV star who is obsessed with ballrooms.

this is somehow funnier than Trump winning the FIFA peace prize

The person looks like they lost a lot of Lincoln-Douglas debates in high school.

furman was obama’s CEA chair

Another illustration of the wide variety of Rob Reiner's work: his dear friend Christopher Guest played three very different roles in three very different Reiner films—Nigel Tufnel in This is Spinal Tap; Count Rugen, the Six-Fingered Man, in The Princess Bride; and Dr. Stone in A Few Good Men.

I hear you say that you want to murder me and my family. But what do you really mean by that?

Ok so suppose there was a language model that could generate prose without the ridiculous energy consumption and error-prone writing, right? Why would I want to use that? Like to me the whole joy of showing writing to others is when they react to stuff that I put in there on purpose.

The first person Chris Rufo hired as an assistant when he made the big time in 2021 was a guy who believed the greatest threat America faced was “gay race communism,” so Chris can miss me with his guy in the hot dog costume routine.

“Cassandras are not reasoning on the basis of fear; rather, their reasoning has led to a conclusion that is frightening. Indeed, I would say being a clear, critical thinker is the first of the things that make someone more likely to have “got it” early.” newrepublic.com/article/2042...

genuine question: shouldn’t athletes making hundreds of millions of dollars have friends or agents or just like… anyone who can tell them “hey man maybe it isn’t such a great idea to stream with groyper freaks who want you to do the “Jew dance” based on Nazi cartoons”

Alright, so quite a lot has happened in a short time: 1. I offended an abbot by encouraging a friendly debate about Martin Luther 2. Someone was murdered 3. I snuck into a library and happened upon two monks doing stuff that I’m pretty sure is grounds for dismissal

fair warning, there will be a lot of Pentiment posting in the coming weeks. Things that were accomplished this morning; 1. Saved a book from getting burned 2. Talked to a nun who described the Aeneid as “good poetry. For men” 3. Ate some cheese

Leaving wife on birthday sadge ;=;

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed… God… the all-power being understood by our top intelligence officials to be the creator of the universe, human beings, and thus all human suffer

Back when Andrew Garfield was playing Spider-Man, he made a comment in an interview about how maybe Peter Parker could be bi and Sony freaked out, pushing him to apologize. www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

Getting more used to telling people my art is not made with ai but it does sting every time ahahaha I gotta think of it more like I am a fine craftsman. An exquisite jeweler. They are asking if something so glorious could possibly be made by human hands!

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

Whoops, your deal with the devil only specified no wars in the *Middle East*! Better luck next time

Uh oh! White men in their 30s doin real bad, as opposed to the rest of us in our 30s, who are famously doing extremely well.
