No. From 1975 to 2015 there was a near-universal agreement that trans women in sports meant “fully sex changed transsexual woman who was now just a woman” and not someone who merely reduced their testosterone for a year or two while remaining visibly, socially, and biologically perceivable as male.

Me Staring Into the Abyss: Haha! Fuck Yeah!! Yes!! The Abyss Stares Back: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

I think Fanduel needs an intervention for its gambling problem! It's losing on big payouts to all those winning users, and then it doubles down, buying all this expensive advertising, begging even more users to come win and take its money.

I bet Matt Stoller thinks there actually was an accident at the factory every time they release Oops All Berries Crunchberry Cereal.

No No No No No. Longer than you think! Longer than you think!

This is wrong. It is better to say things voters believe you actually believe than, and show you genuinely have knowledge about, than to say either what they agree with or disagree with.

michael tracey is like a universal donor but for self esteem

Epstein and Barr responsible for so much of our horrible modern reality. Just more proof here.

Klein's "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" line is particularly telling here. It had nothing to do with the facts of Kirk's life and actions, and everything to do with belief. If Kirk *wasn't* doing politics the right way, Klein's own interactions with him seem naive and foolish.

TCW’s internal moral compass is totally inscrutable to me.

I always assumed these elites all had a deep seated contempt for DJT, he being their uncouth intellectual inferior, and that they may have had conditional reasons for supporting him at times but no more than that. It appears I was wrong. They are just as stupid and simple and cruel and autocratic.

Chomsky?? Noam!?

The year is 2032. The Democratic nominee for president is Richard Spencer. He’s running against the GOP nominee, an AI simulacrum of Donald Trump. Noah Smith and Matt Yglesias are criticizing him for being too woke because he only has two Nazi tattoos.

Temu Olivia Reingold

Interesting read. She described JD Vance almost to a tee.

Holy shit is this an important graph. Also make sure to look at the scale. Bernie still appealing to the young and at incredible levels. Genuinely surprising even to me.

Day 59 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

Oh wow this guy absolutely needs to be a continuing face of resistance. Face.. literally. We live in a tv reality shallow world so let’s just be real about how important it is for honest heroes to be telegenic and compelling. It’s not fair in some universal sense but we are past that point.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

ICE Facility Illinois 😂 Robby Roadsteamer

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

pam bondi is a sentient yankee candle in which resides the spirit of Morgoth

Computer is not person. Person is meat. Meat is not computer. Computer is computer.

I can respect the idea of vaguely libertarian (not Randian doctrinaire) Trots who believed in permanent revolution but for mixed economy liberal democracy. Maybe misguided but fundamentally honest.

Seeing Curtis Yarvin tweet is like if you watch a horror movie that sets up this mysterious evil villain, and then at the end of the movie comes the grand reveal… and it’s just Alf. And you can’t help but laugh and also feel a bit let down. That’s it??

We live in a world where even vaguely Confederate sympathizer types like Shelby Foote will soon be considered too woke.

jesus christ

No frogs have been boiled as successfully, and without even a sliver of awareness about the gooey sub-sentient mass they’ve become, as the consultant-pilled moderate Democrats in power. Whispering earring is usually applied to AI and technology, but Shor-thought is the actual whispering earring.

“I’m sick of these purity tests. NO CANDIDATE is perfect. Newsom may not care about homeless people or trans people but he’s the ONLY ONE hiring social media posters to ask ChatGPT to talk like Trump”

Ho’s mad!

EVERY. TIME. bsky.app/profile/ptro...

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

The guy is obviously unfit for the job, but the “he only went to Northern Illinois University!” elitism is noxious right wing bullshit.

It became apparent pretty quickly that Dawkins, Krauss, Hitchens, and Co. didn't actually base their Atheism on intellectual honesty and moral outrage

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

I think about this daily

Anyway the lady who created a villain so committed to supremacist domination that it consumes him and leaves him as an empty husk w/an irretrievably splintered soul has a few more thousand thoughts today about one of society's most marginalized groups, by which I mean she has 1 thought 1000 times.

One of my deeply held beliefs is that if we could condition people to accept how chance affects their lives, they’d be much better equipped to recognize how systemic things impact them.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Horse Head versus Horse Skull is at sci-fi levels of deception.

Yeah. Losing faith in basic human goodness and progress makes joy hard.
