It's underappreciated because liberals have no policy proposal capable of liquidating the stasi.
They don't like thinking about the fact that anything they win through electoralism will be instantly revoked if it sufficiently provokes the armed gangsters the state is predicated on.
Doctor: Sorry, we need to see you again before we refill your medication you're not allowed requesting to refill until it's one day from empty. We know you need it daily and are at major risk without it.
Me: Okay can I see you—
Doctor: We have availability in late July?
It's such a shame he went full campist brain worms over defending Assad's atrocities, because he's otherwise got a decent record on moral clarity.
Said anarchistly:
The left has historically had 99% good instinctive moral values and 80% good epistemics. And those are *really* good numbers by comparison to any big team! WAY better than libs or centrists or conservatives!
But also those are success rates that entail pretty much constant embarrassing pratfalls.
A normal human being would more than likely punch you in the mouth for saying this, but this has ALWAYS been at the base of immigration restrictions. There is no argument for keeping people from a specific geographic location out that doesn't boil down to bigotry and white supremacy.
"6 ... it is the plain fact that nowadays there are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation. This does not mean, of course, that there is no impulse to conservatism or to reaction. Such impulses are certainly very strong, perhaps even stronger than most of us know. But the conservative impulse and the reactionary impulse do not, with some isolated and some ecclesiastical exceptions, express themselves in ideas but only in action or in irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas." - Lionel Trilling, The Liberal Imagination: Essays on Literature and Society
American conservatives have long criticized Lionel Trilling for saying this, and yet every day they keep saying and doing things that confirm his point.
Fun fact: when renormed for today, the average IQ in America in 1950 was ~75. Either the average American was mentally handicapped just four generations ago, or IQ scores are based on more than immutable, innate intelligence. (Hint: it's the second one.)
A VERY LARGE pinkish tardigrade on green mossy surface, all from cake.
Another shot of the cake, plus info tags.
Gotta show you this tardigrade cake I saw at the American Museum of Natural History.
“Tardigrade Cake” and flavor list.
Cake by artist Rose McAdoo, with flavors representing the extreme environments that these knitting needle-feet cuties can survive.
There was a cutting and tasting but I missed it. I assume it was lovely.
It's 'for worse'. There's no upside at all. It might've seemed like a fair risk back when he wasn't parachuting in to micromanage specific projects at SpaceX, but the more he gets involved (& the board seems uninterested in curbing him), the more SpaceX f*s up.
Yes, Israel is destroying Lebanon's breadbasket. This is why I have been saying that Israel's goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.
yeah this guy basically does this genre of video for every imaginable ethnicity x location combo. just garden variety monetized white supremacy on youtube
At a certain point you have to just call people Nazis/Klan and impose consequences for their visibility in any public space.
this is fucking nuts:
Never thought I'd see a light cone represented in graffiti. That's pretty cool
light cones of possible futures, probable and preferable are separate, it's all graffiti
Majoritarian democracy offers no avenues for liberation. There's no choice for Parasaurolophus fans but to adopt permanent insurgent footing in this dystopia.

Zine sales have raised $81.50 so far to contribute to No More Deaths/No Más Muertes! Thank you for engaging with my work! Half of all “Songbird, insurrectionary” zine sales will continue to go to No More Deaths. I encourage you to donate to them directly here: nomoredeaths.org/donate-money/
This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence
okay this is a very good analysis
astrology people are fun because their goal is to prove that they already know something about you, and they will readily ignore the things you actually tell them about yourself in order to do so. my birthday tells you everything you need to know about me. sorry you didn't get to use your calipers
This makes me wonder: what is the strangest recession indicator that you are sure of?
The most obscure thing that you're *sure* is a recession indicator, something which you don't hear basically anyone else mention?
Tuberville can say this but I can’t say what should happen to Tuberville. One more example how politicians can threaten, slander and demonise hundreds of thousands of innocent people, but a normal person can’t say what should happen to a politician that behaves like a demon
The thing about borders is that they shouldn't exist. There's genuinely no justification for them that isn't ultimately racism.
Despicable fucking government.
The "resource exploitation is wrong" people baffle me the way they stumble into space arguments. Don't mine the asteroids? What the hell else are they for? They don't smell nice and they aren't pretty to look at. They'd be much better off ground up and turned into nice things.
Too soon to say "deplatforming works"?
