I bet he'll make everyone, children included, sign liability waivers at gunpoint!

That reminds me: I *really* need to check out an E.L. Doctorow novel, at some point...

Given his dad is Larry Ellison, it's proof shitty fruit doesn't fall far from the asshole tree.

It doesn't help that, having lived in a conservative Christian neighborhood during my teens, I'd have to hear about all this imagined religious oppression *endlessly*. They can be living a better life than most, and they'd *still* whine about how gay marriage was an egregious attack on their faith.

Like, there're people in the world who actually get victimized - individually or systemically - and it's hard to give a shit about some privileged fuckhead acting as if not being *as* successful as they *want* to be is a legitimate concern. Like, shut *the fuck* up and be happy with what you got.

If there's one cultural trend I want to see die, as *painfully* as possible, it's what I call the "Self-Victimization Grift." What made hearing about "cancel culture" infuriating is how many of those "cancelled" individuals ended up just doing fine afterwards, if not *gaining* from it.

"I have sources to prove me right, including myself!"

That post, in a nutshell:

It's even better when you see the attempts people have made to recreate the tattoo described:

Ever since conversing with @zackdavisson.com about tattoos, this sketch has been stuck in my head:

"--what recourse do you have... but to live?" #frankenstein @realgdt.bsky.social

Passages like that also display a dismissiveness towards other fields of study, such as anthropology and archaeology, because..."organized into warrior bands"? Primitive humans were nomadic, highly collectivist, and concerned with predatory animals - they wouldn't fight each other over territory.

It doesn't help when you have shitheads like Jeffrey Miller who, being obsessed with sex, thinks *everything* human beings do is to reproduce. He can't even understand why people would protest the mistreatment of an ethnic group in another country...*unless* framed as an excuse to get laid.

One of the more infuriating aspects of evopsych is how bio-essentialist it is, based on little more than speculation about fucking cavemen. Its practitioners have to ignore the history of human civilization and the fact we're social animals, to claim everything we do *now* is 'cause cavemen.

"I do not kill with my hand. I kill...with my broken heart!"

Why is Ross Douthat? *Not* "who" - "why." As in, "why does he even exist?"

I'm probably the only person who's going to mention it but, hey, it's one of my favorite albums - next to Tom Waits' The Heart Of Saturday Night and Tears for Fears' The Seeds Of Love.

Cad Bane is #4? *Not* #1? Blasphemy. Unforgivable blasphemy...

I wonder how embarrassed Rocket Raccoon is of his junkie brother. He might be a kleptomaniac with anger management issues - which, let's be honest, is to be expected of a raccoon - but at least he never did sexual favors to get some of that sweet-ass rock for his cheap glass pipe...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if, further on in his political career, he proposed implementing a system of UBI and managed to get it passed. Much like The Great Depression, I'm seeing people - who *aren't* financially privileged - outright support public safety net programs like The New Deal's.

It doesn't help that the Republican Party, as well as Establishment Democrats, haven't given adequate solutions to those tangible problems people are more concerned with than trans people stalking bathrooms or winning sports. Mamdani, on the other hand, is in tune with those actual concerns.
