we are in a self-awareness crisis

As I collect shows like tales from the darkside, the golden girls, and murder she wrote on my Plex I realize what I need next. I want a Plex plugin that will occasionally pause the show and play period-appropriate commercials. I will find the ads but I need a plugin to interrupt the show.

recent remarks from @frame.work's CEO, nirav patel, are incredibly disappointing, and reflect a recurring theme that i'm seeing in tech: embracing, in both vocal and financial support, right-wing bigots and fascists with the excuse of "they make good tech" community.frame.work/t/framework-...

Look, I know, I'm not going to die on this hill. But that just means you will.

I get that this is the least important part of this story, but I wish reporters would say: "that's not what the phrase 'begs the question' means" because misusing it like that makes you look unserious. I mean, also Duffy is anti-antifa which means he's a fascist, but still. It's the little things.

the best song of the 21st century is, of course, “Orinoco Flow”

No, I'm tired of the silence over 5,000 trans service members and their families being kicked out. I'm tired of the silence over the demonization of the trans community. I'm tired of trans youth being attacked. If you want stack up your Democratic campaign record against mine, I'm here. Go ahead.

Remember if it comes down to trump v newsom, it is not fascism v democracy. It is fascism vs polite fascism. Newsom is also a fascist, he's just busy oppressing people about whom some Dems do not care.

Never, ever Newsom. Fuck that guy.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

I know it's not real, but for a moment I tried to consider what anarcho-bidenism would look like and my brain broke. It's like a koan or whatever.

Like, I know this is the least relevant or important about the fascism becoming obvious, but. Why are they wearing what looks like hunter / woodland camo here? Are they trying to blend into the trees? This human just looks like a dingdong.

If you don't stop calling us fascists, we're going to have to use the full power of the state to investigate and punish all our political opponents.

Can we say "requiescat in urina" instead?

It wasn't my fault. Really. He just fell over. I hardly touched him.

Hey, I use that antihistamine. It's pretty good for my more acute hay fever that sneaks by the loratadine

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA created the "Professor Watchlist" -- a list used to harass, intimidate, threaten, dox and mock professors who do race or gender work. I'm on the watchlist. Serious question: Is THIS the "work" you think we should continue?

Gavin Newsom really posted that the best way to honor Charlie Kirk's memory is by continuing his work. Fuck you, Gavin.

Doctors ignored my reports if pain for years. In high school my mom would have to come pick me up because I was puking from agony. I'd pass out at work. I was told some discomfort is normal. At 23 a (cis woman!) doctor told me if I did not stop complaining the only solution was a hysterectomy.

We are at the point in Blue Prince where we are looking at people's handwriting and deciding which person wrote what note. Plus deciphering some made up language. I mean yeah we got to room 46 yonks ago, but that's really just the beginning.

Man, monza is a boring track.

I wrote a thing. pfooti.blog/posts/why-th...

Make a list, in order, of whose rights you will sacrifice in order to win. Then, describe what you've won, exactly.

Yeah, they all are. #acab

"But I just don’t know enough about this particular issue to comment on it, and thinking about race triggers my sensory issues" is a killshot.

I've been to topgolf about four or five times and I swear I'm surprised this doesn't happen more. People getting served lots of beer, rank amateurs trying to swing the club, and _nobody_ notices the red line. Except me but I'm autistic and have anxiety.

This. Very much this. Water and food, pals. There's no clean way to divvy up the country in some hypothetical secession. Plus that abandons all the innocent folks in red states so.

Good work, Dr Professor Pfooti actually.. I have more duties for you. One of the councilors has been threatened.

you too can support a film made by an idiot who is hand-routing grooves for miniature floor planks, because human made art just means we get to indulgently do things like this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.

Thread: I think the thing that most disgusts me about Transphobic Democrats is the cloying, frankly Beta male way in which they politely ask trans people to sacrifice ourselves as if they weren't gonna do it anyway whether they got our cosign or not. It's repugnant 1/

Bring back pigasus.

New #pottery, I am starting to get the hang of temoku.

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

This post is a real gift.

I'm re-reading the #dragonlance books (starting with Autumn Twilight and we'll see how far I get). Using this thread for some running thoughts that I might collate into a real post on pfooti.blog once I get my ideas in order.
