Giving a shout-out to @telliotter.bsky.social for being one of the first and best journalists to the Network State and all-around great reporting on tech fascism: DOGE, government takeover by VCs, the major data plundering/thievery project, follow her!!!!! www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

When men say things like “if you have a womb, you’re a woman,” I just assume they are the same type of guy as Jeffrey Epstein. This never fails me

Important, from a publication I like a lot in Honduras, a photo-essay about Crawfish Rock: the people resisting Próspera and the Network State. Please share. It is important to hear and lift the voices of those directly impacted by the Network State. + Beautiful photos criterio.hn/crawfish-roc...

you cannot be a futurist in any meaningful sense if you are constantly fighting a rearguard battle on gender and sexuality

Labeling is censorship. Fact-checking is censorship. Since the EU fined X, transparency & data access are censorship too. Anything that moderately inconveniences a right-wing populist is censorship — even as MAGA increasingly realizes that X is riddled with scams. open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...

a lot of what’s taken fight out of me is the cruelty of other women in general that it’s just something I should get over and stop being a victim about it is terrifying to see how easily other women take up the dirty work of shitty men

talking to someone in tpot about what happened and it is so disturbing that the women there generally know how bad it is

there is no room for love in an social milieu that obsessively preaches dominance relations, extreme transactionalism, and the avoidance of empathy as weakness

So close!! ko-fi.com/acvalens/goa...

Seeing the Network State covered critically by the Financial Times, Playboy, and Newsweek in the same week is HEALING ME

you should teach your children to fear and respect escalators

i love the smell of commerce in the morning

watching mallrats and pretending it's the 90's

the spanish guitars in the mgs 4 final battle are so good

been musing on accountability lately i think i actually got it vis a vis shitty humans in tpot no longer being able to hide behind 'illegibility'

I miss the 80s. Bruce Willis gets off the plane in Die Hard and goes directly to baggage claim, where he lights up a cigarette in the first 2 minutes of the movie.

transsexual for everyone

event horizon is a masterpiece of film and it got turbo shafted and no one talks about this

Eileen Higgins just FLIPPED Miami’s mayor’s office blue. She’s the city’s first Democratic mayor since the 1990s—and she crushed the DeSantis/Trump-backed Emilio González. Miami just made history. LFG.

when your centers of joy just turn to a bunch of you deserved betters

really gotta hand it to the rationalist community: they've given me a whole vocabulary of jargon where I now know, if I see it in the wild, I should entirely disregard the speaker

I know that what I have is so minor compared to what other people have gone through and yet it feels so very big and scary and unbeatable

difficult nights are realizing that at a certain point you are unfixable because of the actions of others, and under that is realizing that you are now unfixable because you were not smart or perceptive enough to know who to stay away from

the neurodivergent fellowship low key demonizing therapy is going to hurt a lot of young vulnerable people and it really makes me mad

i remember legalization night at a bar in toronto i've been realizing lately how good those people were/are, i was so lucky to be part of them during that time before i started lusting after a spot in the corridors of power

time for everyone to come out of retirement!!!! the fight in on! 😂

it's a very weird situation to be in where the more distance you get away from something it disturbs you more, and not less

ppl are looking at Duffy in some jokey way but govt directly telling you how to behave should be marked as really dangerous escalation

This is a very important article that everyone needs to read. This is a threat that affects... infects the whole world. Please pass it along.

i will dig her out and try to put her back together and hope that what some ppl say about the shattered teacups and gold is true

it is not accurate to say I went through it alone but the effect of being ostracized and having other women cover for shitty men is still felt

rationalists are super turbo fucked up and it's staggering no one has done a real investigative piece on them is the journalist talent pool really that bad? surely no

the truth attends to itself

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

the thing I missed most of all was writing, so very much

probably doesn't need to be said but if you doubt the patriarchy exists you needn't look any further than the perfect victim framework women's bodies aren't our own, our stories aren't our own

crypto et al culturally appropriating raves remains one of their biggest crimes

rediscovering your voice, only to find that it's louder, and speaks with even more conviction is a spiritual experience

there are two kinds of secret worlds: ones that are truly their own, and those that just are just replications of the default world with a different lexicon one is where fairytales are written, the other is temu narnia complete with cardboard cutout characters

network states have mostly worked out to affluent ppl having enclaves they can be 'apolitical' in incredibly sad but probably should have saw it coming, @shanley.com doesn't get nearly enough credit for calling it way before anyone else

can someone explain the reason for FIFA brown nosing because idgi

Watching Mortal Kombat (1995) and pouring one out for Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, RIP.

“Censorship” is a thought-terminating cliché. These people want you to believe that: - labeling is censorship - fact-checking is censorship - transparency is censorship - research is censorship What they’re doing is redefining anything that might inconvenience a hard-right populist as censorship.

rationalists use normie as a slur and are just as slimy if not more just lol

TIL yud gets paid 600k/yr to doom about AI

also very grateful for the men i met in the craziness of the past few years who didn't treat my lived experience as some existential threat to their masculinity i was not as good to them as i should have been, i think, and i regret that
