it's an indictment of the American character that a vicious dementia patient who single handedly doubled the cost of fuel and says shit like "you are all subhuman vermin lol" any time he's near a live mic still has 39% approval

Very frustrating to see all the smug smarter-than-you pragmatic glasses nerds come out and mew about how data center opposition is just a troglodyte hysteria. Shut the fuck up!

TFW when people with very strident, explicit resistances to respecting the “pronouns” of other human beings engage in extended and apparently engaging conversations using the second person with a text generator. poor Alan Turing

this is cold and heartless of me but one takeaway I have from the Vitamin K story is that we have gotten way too soft on needle hesitancy and need to swing the pendulum HARD back towards "you are little pissbabies endangering [yourself/your child] because this medical necessity involves a poke"

The single best point in Justice Jackson's favor is how much contempt the legal intelligentsia has for her, but I think we can go further---the next Democratic president shouldn't nominate anyone who isn't denounced unanimously by the faculty of Yale Law.

One thing I love about Buddhist cosmology is that if you earn a rebirth as a deva you immediately become stupid and lazy and far less able to understand suffering or compassion. Your victory becomes your loss. So too with "becoming" a billionaire.

We jape and joke about how Trump and Musk and their ilk are cartoon supervillains yelling "if I can't live forever, I'm taking you all to hell with me!!!" but here's the thing, they are going to die eventually and it will be glorious. Just breathe. Wait it out. Visualize it.

It’s actually vital to the health of our country to disenfranchise rural voters, who have spent the entire lifespan of the republic demonstrating that they can’t responsibly exercise their franchise

it turns out that even when one is richer than 99.9% of humanity one's relationship to the means of production is still quite important. huh

affluent PMC redistributionism is inherently funny but it stems from the objectively, empirically correct sense that people who are rich from wage income contribute way more to the social contract than their bosses who are rich from ownership income

Capital will recreate ghosts of your past to exploit you via simulacra that reify its own spectacle as accumulation long after you have been fired only to stage you for further exploitation later. There’s no punchline here.

canonically, in The Young Pope, Jude Law uses his divine, entirely real connection to god almighty to ask Him to smite a corrupt nun in Africa who is siphoning funds from the charity she runs for starving children and she dies that very night. in my heart of hearts i believe Pope Leo has this power

"this popular left-wing figure is rude and has problematic views on some issues" yeah man OK the Secretary of Defense believes the fighter pilot we just rescued is basically Jesus and the FBI is building lists of anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh. But yeah that streamer sounds scary.

It’s getting easier to deal with internet news, I’m really zen about it but just have one move every time. Wrote your whole article with AI? Huh, must be for somebody else. Feminism-ending polycule? Guy is cutting in the bones in his face to look perfect? Hm, doesn’t have anything to do with me.
