The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy.
Proud to expose this stuff ✊

Done it before. It doesn't trip anything, you'll be fine.

The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one
"ai" art is like all of the fidelity in the surface rendering with none of the awareness or intent that turns it into an image that makes directional aesthetic sense. the only kind of art that isn't plagiarism
Favourite genre of bad history: "[ancient writer] predicted [modern writing that explicitly riffs off ancient writer]"
i.e. "Plato predicted the Matrix"

i disagree for the record i think random gun deaths are not worth it. but he did. he was living in world he wanted to live in, until he wasn't. "no, you misunderstand, i didn't mean *my* gun death!" - charlie kirk in Hell

One of the highly specific problems of communicating in support of Palestine is that the general public has been so conditioned to accept that the issue is "complicated" that they will intuitively resist any attempt to understand how shallow the Zionist position really is.
of course I oppose genocide in a general sense, but this is secondary to my main concern: being smugly dismissive of people opposing it in a specific sense
i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed
Same thing happened with the Iraq War! So many savvy Responsible Adults later admitted it was a huge tragic mistake, but that somehow they were still right for supporting it when they did. Who did they still think WAS wrong, though? Those dumb filthy hippies who opposed it too early!
The biggest sign of how catastrophically the X brand has failed is that in Kanye West’s Heil Hitler song he still calls it Twitter
These two are so funny, incredible to frame the reunion between two rivals like this

Some of the best ones:
me: it’s fun to take steps two at a time
bluesky reply: what’s NOT fun is the TWO-timing CROOK in the white house STEPPING on democracy
jd vance: drinking liberal tears lol. i’m still here. can you guys see me
me (sending my umamusume pretty derby team at him): girls, trample that man to death
confused about where contrapoints assigns agency, in her post. democrats supported a genocide - but it is the left's opposition to that genocide that helped reelect trump? the left distributing pictures and videos of atrocities in gaza has people in a rage - but what about the atrocities themselves?
I love her

naughty dog's modern output is characterised strongly by being increasingly edgy, but the noise from that obfuscates the fact their games are also just caustically mean-spirited. even if they were totally morally and politically clean, I would still feel uncomfortable with that aspect of things
every new minecraft update is either like "we have added the dagger, a unique weapon you can craft with an item acquired from the final boss that allows you to teleport" or "we have added the croaker, an exciting new mob that lurks in croaker towers and shrieks at you"
