oh look, an actual fascist.

vibe coding is great. it lets me spend more time on my true love: debugging

if i have seen a medium distance it is by standing on the shoulders of regular guys

je suis jeffrey epstein

being trad, being a "neovictorian," all of these are rockabilly variations.

pronoucing `jsonc` like "tronc"

was fixing someone computer today and explained the consequences of memory leaks as "haunted ram"

americans all over the country are currently performing advanced calculations to determine exactly how homophobic towards the president they need to be.

i'm not going to explain this, but this is cat technology.

molly has pulled a blanket inside a bankers box and is sleeping in it like a finnish baby box.

Sharon, Lois & Bram Stoker's Dracula

It really was like tracer dye running through our institutions. I remember my impression of the Democratic Party changing overnight when they decided the most important thing was maintaining the credibility of the lawless court.

every day i become more convinced by The Myth of Disenchantment

I'd go further and say there's a nightmare mirror version of any political issue you'd care to mention. RFK Jr is like this with our food system and environmental illnesses. Terfism is like this with feminist politics. This is why people should read Doppleganger.

the most telltale sign of llm generated code might be inserting fucking emoji on all output.

every once in a while I point out that the best comparisons for trumpist immigration politics aren't interwar european examples, but postwar and contemporary european ones.

bbzzz wrong it's about sublation.

it's going to be hilarious when trump is toppled because of homophobia. maybe this is what dark woke is.

i’m going to look for a higher res copy of this clipping of a 1969 news article featuring my dad’s record collection, will you nerds help me identify the two records in the center? (he is the tiny one second from right) (alberto on the right is holding the Supremes - Reflections)

it's hard to explain the phenomenology of ocd, but one way is manifesting for me right now is involuntarily thinking "throat goat" every time i see the president's name.

"trump is on the downlow"

cringe libs are going to be vindicated if trump was literally gay for putin.

the man has done real, irreparable harm to the effeminate blonde southern man community.

am i the only one to wonder whether Lindsay Graham wasn’t conjured from the imagination of Anne Rice?

i like how this guy talks about agriculture in all of his cooking videos

cat has started jumping on the upper bar of the shower door and drinking water from the showerhead while I'm showering

always in danger of getting really into Tidal Cycles.

maybe bill pissed on him, idk

more and more people are learning the libertarian word for pedophile

mostly confirming my impression that you should never trust an email addict.

It's darkly funny how easily good liberals wrote off the Epstein stuff as conspiracy theory for so long. Anything Republicans touch becomes contaminated by mere association. Part of it was circling the wagons around party grandees, but mostly people have developed terrible partisan habits of mind.

I wouldn't agree with that. There's also an antiracist socialist critique of the Democratic Party that falls along similar lines: the party used identitarian inclusionist appeals atop neoliberal technocracy. Buttigieg's articulation here is vulgar, but there's an element of truth to it.

that's what you get when you let your heart win

i think my most woke opinion is a metawoke opinion: that the essentalizing ways we speak racial, gender, etc groups in social justice contexts mostly amount to off-label race science.

thinking about when i said that the biden adminsitration was bad at communicating the stakes of the IRA and people that i should have read their press releases. amazing stuff.

so much for catallaxy

i want everyone to know that "needle in the hay" came on when i was putting a new safety razor in and i didn't do it.

current state

i'm thinking a lot about anathem and the 2008-ness of naming an autistic character `barb`

this happened.
