Part of my annoyance with the Niemoller poem being such a touchstone without most anyone recognizing they’d already done the “said nothing” part regarding disfavored groups.

Woke is dead, long live Woke

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Obviously the answer is mostly “drugs” but it really is kind of fascinating to me how Musk oscillates between “a post scarcity utopian future is at hand!” and “the mongrel races are coming to claim the persecuted white man’s scarce resources in a zero sum game!”

The Industry of the Future Is Run by People Who Hate Each Other AI leaders agree on two things: Change is coming, and the other guys can’t be trusted

1. They hate us more.
2. Amongst themselves, their class solidarity is always going to prevail.

The closest I get to just absolute political despair is when I think about how feelings of threat and precarity make people more conservative, so when the right is in power, it can increase public support by putting out good policy, but also by putting out bad policy

LeBron getting Luke Kennard and Deandre Ayton playing like all-stars, there’s no contest on who the goat is

Incredible that NBA announcers still have no clue what a foul is

I hope everyone has a great time

George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"

We should have never doubted this man

complaining about the price of beef as a leftist is funny. What did you think Babylon Must Fall meant? podcasts? vibes?

Got an error message that said "Oops! Forbidden" which is all over the place tonally.

I knew when Platner popped out styled like this that we were going to get stuck in an endless loop about class that was and is untethered from materiality and common sense.

we’re so close

this is not the only rotting heart of america but it is an important one and one than many other forms of bigotry rely on for scaffolding by positioning other marginalized groups as adjacent to children and thus in need of coercive control

This would be worthwhile if it raised $0

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

I’ve been informed this is the plot of Dune

"We can just measure human needs in economic terms (the time and money people are willing to spend), and then we'll have a great society that makes bottom-up decisions as ensured by markets!"

“I wonder why my bros who refer to non-white people as NPCs aren’t more committed to the concept of Imago Dei?”

I'm not disappointed because I never bought into her, but I am disappointed someone running for Governor of California thinks this is a winning message.

This is how they'll take credit when we defeat Trumpism.

The Internet was a beautiful thing for a while. It is now exclusively for people who are mentally ill. One might think that would make it a niche product, but it remains mainstream by making more and more people mentally ill.
