all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

This is why saying things "I can still love someone despite having a disagreement with them" when that disagreement is fundamental human rights is meaningless. That other person (even if they don't say so) doesn't want a rational conversation. They want to exterminate that group from existence.

Media elites consider morals and beliefs a matter of aesthetics. Joe Rogan is a moderate to Kimmel because their social circles overlap and it would be disruptive to name him as the hate-mongering cryptofascist he really is.

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.

Absolute delight of a time at the Stardew Symphony tonight!

RIP Haru Urara

A guy can dream.

I try to be tolerant but every time I see someone misplace the apostrophe and write “ya’ll” I want to die

it took 9 hours and 51 minutes but I have successfully re-mudded and taped every drywall joint in the garage, if I wake up tomorrow then the kilz overcoat comes next

when someone I thought was normal says "seed oil"

the corollary to the absolutely true “one day, everyone will always have been against this” is that they’ll also never truly forgive you for being loud and right long before they were, unless you play along and pretend for them

feels like one of the main divides in how people view ai is the reaction to its ingratiating servile tone. when ai is like "ouhhhh i'm so sorry i got that wrong sir, let my try again, you were right my liege" tech guys are like "i like this" instead of "what the fuck is wrong with you"

i love replying to everything at work with the 🫡 emoji

I love PTO because today I've got "vacuumed the garage" levels of free time. My soul soars and the cobwebs are gone

this! the whole reason i write is because it's _me_. i get pissed off when Google tries to suggest replies to emails, i'm baffled at the idea that i should want to outsource communication, one of the fundamental parts of being a human being.

my dipshit humanities associates degree from the pre-AI era is rapidly increasing in value, compounded by my ability to make eye contact while speaking extemporaneously with strangers

No Dragonfires?

On an alternate timeline, Bawls won the energy drink wars. Bush was defeated in a landslide. 9/11 was thwarted by one guarana-infused bostonite. Musk is still bald. Chinese and American leaders toast the "The Century Of Mutual Prosperity" with a chilled Bawls. It is also called the "Bawls Peace".

you cannot bend on trans rights because maybe you're next, but also you cannot bend on trans rights because they are human beings with dignity and inherent value and throwing them or anyone else to the wolves is abhorent

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

ren faire’d

okay maybe I’m a little more out of shape than expected
