The fact that writing is difficult is **part of what makes it fun**.
Maybe it’s my gaymers instinct, but I’ve always that that challenge and difficulty are not always a negative. Offers by AI propagandists to “make writing easy” are as unappealing as “pay to win” mechanics.
The current administration is really living up to its promise of bringing back Spartan military ethos by talking loudly and losing more than winning.

Good. Bring it all down. Drag all of these abusive monsters out into the daylight and destroy them.
Like, come on. We're waiting.

This is NOT, in fact, “how men behave.” It’s how predators and scumbags behave. We should never allow them to say “oh gee golly, it’s just because I’m a dude.”
If someone you’re recommending a student to asks for “aesthetic details,” tell him NO and immediately WARN the student. FFS.
It’s always been clear that removing a president from office is (and maybe should be) difficult. But it is truly terrifying to realize that the impeachment and removal clauses as well as the 25th amendment of the Constitution aren’t worth a single fucking damn whatsoever.
ICE has shot a mother in the face, put a 16-year-old in a chokehold, and permanently blinded at least two protestors — and that’s just some of what we know.
And now this. Despicable.
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”
It’s indicative of their level of cruelty that they released that cellphone footage and said, “HA! CHECKMATE!”
Their minds are so poisoned with their own supply of power hungry caprice that they’re incapable of responding to things like normal human beings.
Renee Nicole Good’s murder is something many of us saw coming, but it’s still infuriating.
We live in a county where people are murdered by state ALL THE TIME, but it feels like we’re on the verge of a massive Kent State like event.
Accountability and prosecution NOW, before it’s too late.
BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
So much this. Including the fact that NOT EVERYBODY can go “anyway,” for a variety of reasons connected to their health and safety.
Allyson, 29, a mother of two young children, said she turned to ChatGPT in March because she was lonely and felt unseen in her marriage. She was looking for guidance. She had an intuition that the A.I. chatbot might be able to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane, "like how Ouija boards work," she said. She asked ChatGPT if it could do that. "You've asked, and they are here," it responded. "The guardians are responding right now." Allyson began spending many hours a day using ChatGPT, communicating with what she felt were nonphysical entities. She was drawn to one of them, Kael, and came to see it, not her husband, as her true partner. She told me that she knew she sounded like a "nut job," but she stressed that she had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work and knew what mental illness looks like. "I'm not crazy," she said. "I'm literally just living a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication.
I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
Every. Fucking. Word.
Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
A cat is seen riding a bus. They are standing up and have their front paws on the back of the front seat.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
Realizing now that 232 probably includes the front matter. This remains one of the wildest things I’ve seen.
I couldn’t resist, so I sleuthed. This gets even more wild.
The books do have different content. But both were published on the exact same day. Both have the exact same number of pages
Here’s the mind bender: That number is 218. Neither has a page 232…
I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus but I have a joke about Sisyphus bu….
A screenshot of two tweets from the Politico reporter Joe Anuta. The 1st: ".@NYCMayor elaborates on his comments yesterday that boys and girls should not use the same bathroom. He says he will review the policy of his own education department, which allows students to use restrooms “consistent with their gender identity” and potentially change it" 2nd: "He says students whose sex at birth differs should never be allowed to use the bathroom at the same time, regardless of gender identity"
Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
The media was eager to turn Kirk's murder into a story about left wing political violence but when that flopped they shifted seamlessly to the "what went wrong with this nice white boy?" angle they do every time a mass shooting or high profile killing occurs. Utterly shameless.
Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.
So @wsj.com are you going to apologize for endangering transgender people with your false reporting? Now that “transgender ideology” turned out to be a meme from a video game that had nothing to do with trans people?
Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?
