wow that sounds like it's absolutely not my fucking problem!

i am hearing that it is possible to do some things while in the minority, interesting

same thing i do now, but in middle english

i have not once seen auchincloss mentioned without the accompanying text making him seem like dumbest, most vapid moron who ever walked the earth. has this man had a single actual idea in his life

Celtic kings were ritually sacrificed after their reign was over

i'll give lash this much: it shouldn't end with eastman, it should cascade down to every single fucking fedsoc ghoul

more like kurt fash

fair's fair. if you're loaded, get a clothes consultant

the stupidity of nostalgia as a politics is compounded by the fact that the nostalgia itself is for the dumbest, tawdriest shit imaginable. "pizza hut" what the fuck are you talking about

the text? folks, it's so rich. rich like the people we're going to tax to fix the potholes. i'll be here all week

so the thing about scott alexander is that despite his pathological logorrhea he's not actually that smart. but i guess he's smart enough to regret being stupid, which is a minimal level of self awareness that most of the people in his orbit don't possess so congrats on that

jd vance isn't telling the pope to be careful about matters of theology as a theological point, he's saying the pope better fucking watch what he says or we'll kill him

look respect to everyone who has to write words for a living and is therefore determined to overanalyze the hungarian election but i just don't think it matters that much on its own or contains very many useful lessons at all for the american experience

fine sure whatever i guess i have to ally with the pope against trump. enemy of my enemy etc

haha yeah well the guys who own the ai companies have basically said that they will have all the money and all the stuff and everyone else can just fuck off and die or something

it's hack shit of course but the thing is, guys like him and hamburger (lol) and epstein (double lol) wouldn't have the prominence that they do have were it not for liberal legal academia's acceptance of these guys as legitimate colleagues when it comes to hiring and promoting them

oh is that right

wistfully remembering how I got yelled at on here by some idiot when I said Biden should have had netanyahu arrested

corey could you please step out into the hallway with me for a second, i just want to scream at you very, very loudly

we already have an ai degree: it's called physics, because ai is a sub-discipline of physics (c.f. nobel prize committee, 2024)

well look you see the thing about media elites is that by and large they are morons who could not think their way out of a wet paper bag if you spotted them a pair of scissors

look if any group of people deserve to be sent down to the country its university administrators

i don't see where these pissant nobodies get off demanding i do anything at all for them. we're the fucking superpower here and i shouldn't even have to know who the israeli prime minister is actually

playing the millenial nostalgia card with the cake drop, very nice

wearing this reply like a badge of honor

look, i just don't think we are required, as a society, to tolerate the presence of these people among us, actually. there's no principle of liberal tolerance that these guys are entitled to

we, as a society, have evolved beyond the need for the washington wizards

the basic problem with marx as filtered through the american consciousness is that americans are fatally poisoned by jeffersonianism so everything gets read through the lens of whether it makes it easier or harder to be a yeoman smallholder

farmers are a reactionary class who should be driven off the land and into the cities

hey quick question what percentage of the population is employed in farming now vs 100 years ago?

is this good

cycling glorious, undefeated, all other lifeforms eat shit

it's me, i'm the people who assert it. not because i believe it but just because it seems like a fun thing to say

i am always saying this

wow you don't say

they used to call this bachelor chow, everything old is new again

i'm always saying this: liberal democracy is not obligated to tolerate people whose political project involves destroying liberal democracy

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

while it is certainly true that merely being published in the times does not indicate the newspaper's own support for that position, it is nevertheless also true that the times leadership absolutely does support all those things in the image

i do genuinely wonder when, or perhaps whether, liberal american jews will finally realize that outside of ethnicity and occasionally religion we have basically nothing in common with israeli society

everyone knows holden bloodfeast but it's important to remember that tv talking heads are actually the people who are horniest for endless war

an intractable problem with american foreign policy that both encompasses and stretches well beyond donald trump is that almost literally everyone in the top echelons of gov't believes that america can kill anyone for no reason other than that it wants to do so and can and that this is good actually

they cannot be a "shield" because there is no legal reason or justification to attack anything inside Iran in the first place

oh did you hear that democrats are in the minority? that they can't do anything? that they're smol beans and anyway it's the weekend? anyway this is why leadership's mealy-mouthed bullshit is Good and Savvy

the reporting on this insane, illegal war is so fucking slavish to the administration

republicans be like "under the shah Iranian women had rights, which to be clear we also oppose and are doing our best to destroy both domestically and intentionally"

here's a thought: what if you took this insufferable above-it-all process smarm and shoved it up your ass

mr trump sir please I beg you give me a chance to vote for war useless fucking loser, I would eat my ballot before ever voting for him again

got put in twitter jail for mouthing off to fetterman so please direct some thought energy towards his brain in the hopes of doing scanner shit asap

extremism in defense of liberty is no vice
