The idea that everyone should be compensated in some measurable way for contributing to the world is capitalist trash.

Had a nightmare today that made me oversleep way. My body was magically somehow changed overnight, getting rid of all my dysphoria and finally looking perfectly how i've always wanted to.

"Oh my god!" "They seem to be such sensitive beasts." "They are!" Absolutely bodied. 😭

Lmao, most civil disagreement between marxists.

I think it's really fascinating how most people seem to always view artists in a perpetual dual light where they're both proletarians and somethings "more", almost sacred at the same time.

If it turns out that all the assassinations of iranian nuclear scientists opened a pandoras box that would be really grim but also kinda unsurprising at some point. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Okay so i just woke up to this so it now seems the US and Venezuela are all but officially at war since i can't see this resulting in anything else then a de facto comple blockade on the tankers.

Just listening to Capital with my partner again and revelling in just what a beautiful writer Marx is.

It really is amazing how anyone could take Chomsky serious after this. Aaargh to all the justice talk.

It's not that i dislike german when sung in general, just to be clear. I actaully usually like it lots, all the harder edges and longer words make sound really different, but also interestingly good compared to english imo. The voice actors and the forced translations are just really bad imo.

I just listened to some Hazbin Hotel songs in german and my ears are bleeding now. 🤮

I feel an obligation to try to get through to christmas with only two more eating days but i'm pretty sure that won't be allowed...

Nooooo, what was probably the last airworthy example of the of the An-22 just crashed a few days ago! 😭 Whyyyyy, the war has already cost the An-225, why the An-22 too... 😭😭😭

The say the Germany is like the Jesus to western states really fits. Where in the destruction of Germany absolved the western states from their own guilt. There was nothing particularly unique about Germany to make it the only state capability of carrying out a genocide on that scale in the future.

Dear god, Wake up dead Man is soooo good. The way is subverts and comments on detective stories and engages with christianity; beautiful! Just the right level of goofiness as always too.

My brother made fun of my duck feet today again. 😭

Every now an then i come across this picture and just have an irresistible urge to strangle someone.

I am a gay little creature. I should not need a job.

The SPD proudly returning to its roots.

Oh god, Thailand and Cambodia are shooting at each other again with tens of thousands displaced on each side. Not surprising i suppose, earlier this seemed to leave a lot of things open.

A friend wants me to watch a show about gnosticism even though i'm still sorta dealing with the gnosticism overdose true detective season one gave me from watching it recently. The monist in me just always wants to scream.

And japan is in a quarterly recession again lol. 2.3% is already really brutal but thb i'm even more scared of when the numbers for the 4th quarter come out because there's no way they're gonna pretty given all that's been happening since october.

Chinese ship production by type and fuel it uses. This is fascinating stuff.

I wish we had gotten some more Krennic-Partagaz in Andor, the ones we got just made their relationship seem so interesting.

I just checked and my doctor is on holiday so that's why i hadn't been getting a response this week. I should luckily have just enough HRT to make it through the weekend but i still don't like how close i'm cutting it.

The worst thing about the current ruling class is honestly that they have *zero* sense of style anymore. I want to see them comission despicable art depicting themselves and their family as roman gods again and not just wear suits or sweatshirts!

I just saw the kalshi executives bragging that they think the prediction market is already 100 billion large and could easily grow to one trillion soon. I honestly don't disagree with their prediction that there's a lot of money to be made by commodifying all differences of opinion like that.

Today was a rough day for me but i got through it. I love my partner so so much, she's the greatest. I'm so incredibly lucky.

I know it's been said i million times but seeing graphs like this will never not amaze me, the decine in wages for low education people is truly insane. How clearly this leads into the trump phenomenon is painful when viewed like this.

I just rewatched glass onion, still an absolute banger. I love how passive benoit blanc is in the actual plot of the movie, particularly at the end. It really drives the point home.

Apparently almost five hours of talks between Witkoff and Putin lol, i can't imagine much substantive could've been agreed on or changed but i wonder how everyone will try to spin it now.

Saudi Arabia buying 93% of EA is i feel a really great encapsulation of triple A gaming.

I'm really excited for the Zhuque 3 launch today/tomorrow.

I love how the wikipedia article on the zootopia box office still divides it up by 160 mil for US and canada and 400 mil for the rest of the world only to further down mention that the chinese market alone was responsible for 270 mil of that. That's almost half the global total. 😭

SLAY THE PRINCESS IS SO AWESOME!!

I think the whole situation with Kremlin repeatedly arguing that one of the (ofc there are *many* more) reasons they're unwilling to make peace on negotiated terms is because they don't believe the current ukrainian government is legitimate and thus the succeeding government wouldn't consider itself

The shifting mound probably really is the best video game romance i've ever played tbh. Her and the long quiet are just so peak, i love that game so much.

I think the games i'm by far most hyped for rn are the next episodes of of the devil and scarlet hollow, i'm just so hyped. I still haven't decided if i'm going to play of the devil episode two when it comes out or if i'm going to save it for chistmas.

Amadeus is such a sad, relatable, but luckily also confusing movie to me. Like, i think i can totally understand Salieri's misery because being a mediocrity.

Ah, i just figured out how to post two posts in a thread in one go. Yay, that's convenient!

I'm really not all that surprised the ECB is refusing using the russian assets to backstop the loan, it just so clearly would put it at risk.

I really want to see a study on how people listen to music tbh. I personally usually just can't do playlists since i end up obsessing over one particular song and then listen to it obsessively for like a few days on a non stop loop all day until i move on to the next one.

Lol, i love how in the new SIPRI report global arms firms revenue grew quite a lot in 2024 by 5.9% but china's apparently declined by enough to make all of asia-oceania the only region where revenues actually decined.

I think i'm just going to be posting a bit of random thought streams so sorry if i'm going to be clogging up anyone's timeline btw.

Black friday revenue being up so much in the US initially surprised me tbh but now that we know apparently all of that is from price increases it does totally make sense, particularly with the biggest categories being apperal, furniture and electronics ofc.

Oki, i'm gonna start trying to post here into the void a bit because i do think i need the exposure therapy to try and reduce my social anxiety at least online some. If i can't get comfortable saying stuff into the social media void i don't see how i ever could irl after all.

I am not a big fan of statements like LGBTQ struggle is class struggle because it collapses all politics into one. It makes sense when thinking about it in terms of a party. This acts if there is a party platform this all is part of even though no actual party or platform exists.

No casus belli, I hope the US has enough stability to afford it. Sorry, the first point being no casus belli is such a paradox brain way of phasing starting an unpopular war.

It's always sort of really impressive when one remembers just how new all current states are. The vast majority are still less than a century old.
