Thinking about the responsibilities I had to take on for the adults in my life as a child and it's absolutely crazy work to me that some people got to not have impulse control or self awareness. Like, that wasn't even available OPTION to me.

its not passive voice, its panpsychism voice

How can these be more traditional views if they are more extreme than prior generations?

Get dinged for thinking outside the box when they want u to adhere to process but then yr the best person theyve got in a crisis.

The USA has asked Ukraine for weapons to defend against Iranian drones. Zelensky told them to negotiate as they don't have any cards.

if Ozempic gets any more beneficial a widespread movement of Christian moms and lesser Kennedys will become obsessed with proving it causes autism

I know that when the US does this its a war crime but when the Iranian regime killed 30,000 of its own people in one weekend 2 months ago what is that called

Later that day on a call with a Boston colleague there was a framed painting of a Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee hanging on the wall like it's, ironically, JFK.

Just got served a video where a someone debunked an internet scam to me in Russian. Never experienced that before.

So many people weren’t born in a country that collapsed.

The only people really getting their money’s worth are the people who hate Khamenei and voted for Trump.

Counterprogramming

The Putinisation of the US military continues.

I assumed they did it to be incredibly off-putting on purpose.

Just thinking back to the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, when Ukrainians were bewildered to find Iranian drones flying overhead. "You understand, this was not originally intended for us, yes?" They said. "That we are just the training ground?"

Also I'm writing about how prediction markets and sports betting legalization represent the totalization of market logic over American life. lots of people are seeing this post; if you have smart things you've read about this please send them my way.

I see folks saying it was Sandy Hook but i didagree. A good portion of this country was in favor of doing something about guns after Sandy Hook but big money kept elected officials from doing something. When covid hit people willingly threw fits about masking and went full anti-vax.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Had never heard Farsi accent in Russian until today. Very amused by how it sounds just like how its sounds in English but in Russian.

Watching parasocial resentment is really taking me back to that time in my 20s when I was part of a very cool group of people in LA that everyone wanted to be a part of and dress like and party with. Like a tsunami with a hive mind.

Considering the head of HHS is bringing measles back this is on brand.

Watching a clip of Clavicular say that he has never experienced happiness and doesnt know what it is and its only for “lower sentience” people I am reminded that you have never seen Donald Trump laugh. Is our world producing more of this type of person or are we just platforming them more? Or what?

Well season 4 of Tehran is crazy.

Human factors mentioned.

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

My trolls pretend we would never try to do what we've been trying to do for years.

I told my generals that this is what a special military operation to kill a head of state is *supposed* to look like. They've all refused to drink their tea.

the “please save us Mr. Trump sir” play keeps working and tbh at this point I just hope some Ukrainians are working on their banners and sending Signal messages to friendly reporters bc apparently you can now summon the U.S. military by bat signal (but it’s a Big Mac)

SNL is healing America

I always think it's interesting that in Iran it's legally restricted to have a pet dog, but gender reassignment surgery is subsidized by the government. Other places are different places and don't make sense if you look at them through the lens of American norms and politics.

Just collecting all the petrostate horcruxes I see.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external). It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

Checkovs gun budget

The next round of negotiations will be fun. Ukraine will be told by a country that started an illegal war to surrender to a country who started an illegal war.

NEVERMIND.

At least we didnt get Harris, you guys, phew.

The pro-AI arguments all sound just like the pro-COVID arguments. "Oh you don't want this? Well, it‘s going to happen to u anyway. Its here now so shut up and take it what are u gonna do abt it?“ Enjoy.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

folks theyre saying the pale rider doesnt want us to break the seventh seal, theyre saying no one has the strength to handle it. what do you think folks, what do you think of that pale rider. should we do it? *crowd going absolutely ape shit* i dont know, i want to but they say I shouldnt
