everything framed around his hospital stay like the AEC hearing in oppenheimer, but the twist is it's a different one each time. as the story unfolds, we see that it is only through the entangled fantasy of another universe's bolsonaro that he can exist outside of a hospital.

yesterday, a knight errant born in the year 3642 stumbled from a time portal and caught his balance on my shoulders. seeing that he laid hands on a woman, he shot himself with a disintegration ray. i didn't feel anything, which goes to show how much less insecure i am about passing nowadays.

everytime i see this guy i'm thinking more men should use eyeliner

it's by jason woliner, who did some direction on nathan for you, and also co-created (and directed most of) eagleheart if that bumps it up in consideration.

have you seen paul t. goldman? it's as murky and uncomfortable as the rehearsal can be, which builds toward its conclusion being so much more beautiful.

2. i increasingly think part of the rise in autism diagnosis is misdiagnosis of other conditions. the premature shift to a dimensional model before clear categories were found (e.g. ADHD fidgeting != autism stereotypies) likely plays a role. some peculiar research results bolster my impression.

1b. having just read american prometheus, oppenheimer is illustrative. i think the 'dementia praecox' diagnosis was quarter-right, and a non-pathological schizoid personality structure is vital to understanding him (non-pathological obsessive-compulsive personality traits too).

read your latest (on value of categorical PDs) and was glad to see the perspective put out there! two thoughts:

1a. SzPD, while probably requiring a subclinical psychotic base, also requires personality maladaptations (e.g. fear of engulfment, emotional suppression/denial) to be disorderly IMO.

i think superficially misleading wording (no indication of paraphrase, but using quotes around conversion therapy) can easily be acknowledged and clarified, especially when the issue is that there's important interpretive context outside of the thread.

calling this shit out as volkish needs to happen a lot more IMO

Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement.

The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.

hillary can still win if we summon the nuckelavee and trap its dick in a doorframe. i haven't worked out the chain of causality, but that's definitely step 1.

descending the staircase to my apartment's garage, i was blocked by the wreck of an old sunken ship which hosted aquatic lifeforms of all kinds. before i could ask, the captain's ghost said we don't get a rent discount just because of the obstruction. it's crazy how this is legal.

tbh how were parents supposed to explain the existence of a 15mm sex toy or how bo peep used it on barbie. i'd be upset too.

i hate how everyone is pretending we need to treat horses like a serious animal when their main ability is pooping at random places. it's not fair. i could do that too if i wanted.

please do this if you are cis and/or have money

this is the step of symbolization, and it makes many of the rest far easier

i was about to complain that they didn't have freddy got fingered, but i was wrong. they have it. i stand corrected and have become serene.

they are not committed to the same goals; if that were the case, mamdani would have tax revenue to avert most of these compromises

they're called ailiens because they're always sick. it's not funny.

additionally, the logical skills they use for programming are used within highly controlled environments... and yet they obviously make mistakes that need fixing! sometimes very frequently in an iterative process! they only consider their solutions, but not their incorrect attempts along the way.

white hat sources tell me the FBI has finally located, captured, and killed madeleine mccann

if you haven't seen Some Kind of Monster, the documentary about metallica leading up to its release and a bit afterward, it's very worth it

pickup truck are now estimated to contain an average of 1.5 roadkilled gnome skeletons in the flatbed. maybe children, but i think it's mostly gnomes.

Occupy Democrats post: "BREAKING: Kash Patel was just busted LYING TO CONGRESS in order to protect pedophiles! Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have successfully been able to view a slew of unredacted Epstein files, and they discovered that Trump’s disgraced and wildly incompetent FBI Director Kash Patel has been lying to Congess, under oath, in order to protect the other rich and powerful men who played major roles in the Epstein sex-trafficking ring. Thanks to pressure from Massie and Khanna, the DOJ reluctantly unredacted an FBI report naming Jewish billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret and notorious Epstein associate, as one of the co-conspirators in the sex-trafficking ring. “This is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBI’s own 2019 document listing Wexner as a coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasn’t unredacted until tonight,” said Khanna’s partner-in-justice, Rep. Thomas Massie, on Twitter on February 10th. The two spent two hours on February 9th examining unredacted Epstein files and were shocked at what they saw. “Most of the unredacted files were redacted—70 to 80 percent. Massie and I saw that there were six men who were co‑conspirators and were being protected. Those names need to be made public. " "There’s no excuse for releasing survivors’ names while protecting these six men. There are probably more. In just two hours, we saw that these six men were being protected.” Kash Patel’s FBI is actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of serial pedophiles and must be fired immediately — and held accountable for his own role in protecting pedophiles."

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

from what i remember, hipster culture was largely about presenting as aloof from mainstream trends in a way that would appear low effort but slightly quirky. to acknowledge being a hipster would admit effortfulness, attentiveness to trends, and being only formulaicly quirky.
