Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

nothing is written. we have an opportunity to make a better future and it starts by brute-forcing a commitment to enforce consequences.

At the present moment I am not interested in anything politically beyond the destruction of the Republican Party as a viable political force. If we don't break the back of the conservative movement nothing else really matters. Whatever good shit you want to do won't happen.

the world endeavors to keep us humble

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I have given my love to what is worthy of love. Is that not the kingdom and the unperishing spring?

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

such a lovely thing to think about

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Here’s Nick Cave replying to a correspondent called Valerio who was asking him about how to respond to a growing sense of cynicism - here. www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-still...

shit looks real bleak sometimes and I don’t want to downplay how bad it is but also we had seven million people show up to protests last weekend

there are more of us than there are of them and I am simply not ready to throw in the towel

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post!

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good.

I know the constant need to impose a superior morality/creative purity on True and Noble Design is sort of a broader pattern but I feel like it's extra obnoxious when ultimately someone's sneering down their nose at you for not engaging with a video game the Right way.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

"MECH DESIGN TRIANGLE" on the top there is a tank, on the left "monster" and a xenomorph, on the right an angel. inside the triangle, up top there is a tank legs armored core from gen 5, then below it a wanzer from front mission. below it, to the left, the inital ac from armored core 3. below it stinger's ac. blow it, to the left, the mind beta ac from ac6 using reverse joint legs. to the right, the nineball seraph. to its right, the strike gundam. below it, white glint. to the right of white glint, gundam schwarzette. below schwarzette, to the right, the wing gundam zero. on its left, the exusia from ac5. on its left, a bit up is Kshatriya and a bit down is ac6 CEL. to the left of Kshatriya there's the nachtreiher frame from ac6. below it, to the left, the filial from ac2. outside of the triangle: between the angel and the tank, a jet plane; between the tank and the monster, a beetle; between the mosnter and the angel, a emoji pointing towards "you"/"the camera", below it, written "the nerd reading this"

this came to me in a dream

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

like the quoted post is such an American perspective. there are people all over the world in worse situations who are doing the work for better future. civil rights was less than a hundred years ago. the civil war less than two hundred. there are lessons everywhere, if we can look for them.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
