It's amazing the lengths people will go to to deny applying basic intersectional dynamics analysis on to cishet males in Western society. Power is fluid, and seeing all men as a monolithic demographic is intellectually laziness masking a immature understanding of the world.

DARIO ARGENTO: Look at these beautiful things, these art pieces, this architecture, this countryside! Terrible things could happen here and produce great contrast LUCIO FULCI: Slavering beasts will consume us all! We will become them! But what else is new?

do NOT bother him while he's playing Dragon Quest VIII

every panic about child abuse is to hide the immense amounts of child sexual abuse that goes on every day

shit really fell off when they decided that an 'elegant ui' meant having eg one unlabeled button that did different things based on how long or how many times you pressed it

anthropic: guys. can we do time out. i think i might have made skynet. or um the matrix. teacher: anthropic, it sounds like you want to stop burning capital until your IPO anthropic: NONONO I PROMISE I ACCIDENTALLY MADE SMART HOUSE FROM THE DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE SMART HOUSE

the third-worldist/Bobby Hemmitt left are essentially just doing an inverse of white supremacist rhetoric lol. the difference between guys who glaze Maoist China n guys who retweet This Is What They Took From You volkish nuclear family edits is little to none beyond the surface of aesthetics.

Guy on the bed giving a thumbs down like an emperor at the coliseum and the guy in the toilet tube is immediately slurped away like a pneumatic capsule at the bank

im sick of romanticizing the 90s. it was a fucking nightmare. kids were drinking capri suns and turning into liquid metal abominations left and right. thousands of children were alex macked

one of the fascinating things about political anti-suicidality is it never seems to occur to anybody that it may be better to simply offer improved conditions rather than lecture sufferers about what they can or can't say or demand they subordinate themselves to abusive psychiatric institutions

we must all imprison our minds to mitigate the imprisonment of our bodies, that is the reality, self-actualisation is a luxury reserved only for those whose so-called true self is useful, and the promise of actualisation serves as a trap to weed out the rest the world is one large psych ward

smartest "there won't be a draft" guy

so, as it stands re: the straits crisis: 1. Negotiations have been ended over the situation in Lebanon 2. Hezbollah stands resolute in pushing out the Zionists 3. Iran has declared it would re-engage strategic bombardment of Israel should Israel attack Beirut 4. Israel wants the war to expand

what "to be cringe is to be free" means is 'specific traits that may be considered unacceptable in some places are socially favoured by me or my clique', one who is free in this situation is definitely not cringe, but performing socially reinforced behaviour

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

okay i think i got the directions wrong but i got this doohickey back into production so its impossible to say if its good or not

roadrunner/coyote routine between a suicidal guy and a guy who who wants to kill him and every time one of their schemes looks like it'll work out the other's scheme goes off and ruins both

Do You Believe Gavrilo Princep Was The Messiah?

Pitiable worms such as Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis are coming out of the woodworks to support dangerous restrictive measures against science such as @ibbis-bio.bsky.social

immediately after posting it i thought this is the worst post i've ever made. seeing hundreds of people are extremely red and mad about violet evergarden not actually being yuri and citrus being #2 and missing #7 in the process proves it is actually the greatest post i've ever made

one of the lovely things about doing social criticism on social media is the people you're criticizing volunteer themselves as evidence. marvelous. you say, oh, signalling precedes semantic content and you get dozens of posts without semantic content

here we see a case of the all-too-common transmasculine liberal pitfall- ideological loyalty to gender essentialist feminism- reach a point so profound and pathetic that no word to describe the oppression of trans men can be tolerated by a trans man unusually lost in the sauce

now, if you're unfamiliar with bluesky you may think the assholes are the people telling me to kill myself, sexually harassing me etc. this is a rookie mistake. actually the issue was that I QRTed someone with a tone that was not obsequiously polite. for this i have surely earned infinite scorn

this feels to me like such a perfect encapsulation of tens internet culture, angry guy in my replies projecting that anger onto me (i was not angry until i started getting sexually assaulted in the replies!) asserting Online Isn't Real etc. it's like speaking to a fossil

i think the issue of the body in trans circles should if anything be somewhat taboo. you should keep both your dysphoria and your euphoria to yourself, at least as far as specific bodily features go. i talk dysphoria in very broad terms for a reason

it's either A) take psychic damage from people with strictly superior features to you going on and on about how NGMI they are or B) take psychic damage from people going on and on about how valid you are for looking like shit, not feeling human, getting misgendered, stared at, treated as an insect,

bluesky is going to be absolutely miserable all month isn't it, just the vilest shit dressed up in woke terms, neo-mattachines dancing on AIDS graves, every post some shit like "The fact you'll never be a real woman is SO VALID. Happy pride!"

that's it we've finally found the transmisandrist equivalent to those transmisogynist "body positivity" posts emphasizing hypermasculine bone structure in trans women

what does Pride even mean anymore, beneath all the Raytheon logos and cop cars? why continue to tolerate the farce at all? the ideal celebration of pride is sacking the most corporate pride event in town with your street gang slash polycule

one of the funny things about how often I'd get called an egotist on twitter was that I brag far less than most people online, often intentionally refuse to point out some accomplishment because it feels crass etc but I *do* brag about being smart, which The Forbidden Virtue

An interesting way to look at this genre of humor is a sort of social-capital equivalent to flashing cash. Ignore the joke itself and the underlying context is that in a time of mass social isolation the poster is not isolated but flourishing, able to treat a fundamental drive as a triviality

twitter banned me for not having a bluecheck

got reminded of this old column by Lee Marvin and its argument that by censoring violence its true impact is concealed, and given developments since- shocking violence in the 70s giving way to slapstick exaggeration in the 80s- it feels intentional, propagandistic

Love getting emails from people telling me that ROI is a bad measurement of how good something is

bring back kabukimono fashion. buy persian rugs and cut them into haori jackets. start katana wielding street gangs. make your movements so exaggerated that they influence developments in theater that will last centuries

beyond the obvious falsity of the accusation, note how it applies only one way. by this logic, shouldn't trans women, who quite consistently and systematically face marginalization by cis women, be correct to refuse to stand with them? and yet we're expected to do so thanklessly

Follow Comrade Snorlax's Good Example

This Could Happen To You

MARXISTS: Look if you just give people things they need that's not revolutionary praxis. You have to build actual solidarity, not one sided internet charity drives that the capitalists take cuts of. ANARCHISTS: You don't get it man. OUR one sided alienated economic relation is *decentralized*

I think if I had to describe my personal crisis of the past year or so it's the grim realization I've become a Trans Elder. It's the end of the line. I've transitioned and I've just Zenos Paradoxed myself into being halfway there. If I'm lucky, I get another half eventually. I'm not lucky.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

I think this article is supposed to make me turn my nose up at Gabe here but I think yelling at a person you pay trying to pressure you into caving to the whims of puritanical credit card companies is wholly appropriate

WELL, LOOKS LIKE THAT DID IT

Have You Had Your Sea Moss Today?

petty thing but I hate steams autoscroll when looking at screenshots and I hate how trailers autoplay when the autoscroll goes to them. I do not ever want to watch a trailer or be surprised by its audio in the background. I do not want to open a store page and immediately have to pause a trailer

would be crazy if the straits crisis leads to coal fired steamships re-entering mass production
