The only argument power needs is the absence of a counterargument. That is why liberals declare by fiat that there is no counterargument, while fascists snuff out human lives and rip communities apart to crush their opposition. Fascists are more honest. Liberals will smile at you, with ears plugged—

we will keep hearing stories about right wingers abusing and kidnapping and killing pets. it's because a pet is a kind of child that can't speak, and a woman is a kind of child you can fuck, and a child is first and foremost your property. that's what they believe and demonstrate over and over.

Ever since Plattner showed up all totenkopfed, people on the actual left were like "yup, obviously a nazi bred in some kind of fucked up Thiel-funded thinktank to appeal to centrists" and those centrists keep proving how successful these emotional support Thiel-funded thinktanks are.

Good news: there's no durable majority for fascism Bad news: we are locked in a life or death struggle against fascism and our victory depends on people with less understanding of how the world functions than my 14-month old

Jeffrey Entertainment Epstein

I am mad, please put in the newspaper that I got mad.

There’s not a way to negotiate with ICE without selling out some of the very neighbors we’re risking our lives to protect. This is a moral issue. Your willingness to negotiate shows you don’t understand the problem at all or our sacrifice, not that you’re somehow smarter or more rational than us.

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

I grew up into someone with agency. I drive from parking lot to parking lot in the dark. I see my friends. We go to parking lots. We drive past data centers and paramilitaries and fence after fence after fence. Free to watch the world blossom with smoke and bear our gray fruit

Driving around the Bay Area in one of these, compromising everyone's electronics to a permanent end, until they put the headphone port back in the phone

My takeaway from Woke 1, MeToo, and Jeffrey Epstein is that we went way too easy on these creeps. If I get my way, by the end of Woke 2 you will not have to breathe the same air as these abusers or their enablers.

Bunch of DSA and YDSA chapters freaking out this morning.

Not me though I migrated my chapter to Signal two years ago. 😎

Ok, here's an apocalyptic hot take: the halftime show feels kind of like they did a successful version of Nancy Pelosi in the kente cloth. They got us to stop talking about the racism of the NFL without actually doing anything to help anyone. Do I believe this? I don't know. I was at the movies.

one faculty meeting went off the rails after she referred to one of the fraternity houses as a "rape plantation". her colleague struggles to get things back on track while saying "I mean is she wrong tho" in a way that nobody realized that's what he said

Intro to Continental Philosophy on paper. She opened with "All men are age-regressors, it's the patriarchal Original Wound—his personal Eden; when Breasts meant Nourishment, where nobody expected anything of him, and he could disappoint no one. As adults they all wear diapers in various ways"

More people should be injured by ebikes. There's an optimal level of ebike injuries and we're far, far below it

I'm beginning to think that even the "productive" use cases for LLMs are just sophisticated forms of gambling.

Have they always put the prez and vp in the punishment cube or is that new as of the latest assassination attempt?

A new generation of grassroots American car and/or bike racing growing out of anti-ICE rapid response would be pretty fucking cool too.

A lot of hay has been made over the years about how the distrust in government created during Prohibition has never really gone away. I think the moment we are in now will be written about in much the same way.

Goddamn I have never had a tik tok hit so close to home

My takeaway from Woke 1, MeToo, and Jeffrey Epstein is that we went way too easy on these creeps. If I get my way, by the end of Woke 2 you will not have to breathe the same air as these abusers or their enablers.

how much do I have to drink while vibe coding to make Claude hit the Ballmer Peak?

Which just makes @uofilsystem.bsky.social look like fucking idiots for obeying in advance.

Today I learned that the Boy Scouts issues with leaders taking advantage of kids mostly happened because of the Mormons

Did they create their own parallel structure so they could let their kids do that while maintaining access to a ripe pool of targets? You bet!

this is funnier than any joke you could make about it

The America we were taught about in school wasn’t real, but I want it to be and so do 200 million of my friends

watching elite consensus-makers egg each other on in seeing who is willing to put their name on the "pedophilia isnt that bad actually" article is so cool. that used to happen in private smoke-filled parlors! now it happens in substack comments sections. that's digital democracy in action

A Few Small Stafford Beers

you cischuuni indigo children of rape capital you are not the primary victim of the child rape capitalism. You are not the ones homeless on the streets. You are not the ones who are suffering most. You were raised in vats by narcissists to call abuse socialism and call each other christ on the cross

Somebody should invent a socioeconomic system which is good at allocating resources

Not telling the public that Trump was deposed on January 6th was a generational mistake
