so much of this website is just people bringing a mentally ill person to your attention like a cat bringing you a dying lizard in its mouth. what do you want me to do with this homie. it’s going in the garbage and I feel a little bad for it. you did get him though, that’s true
yeah they all went to the young men meeting and decided they would stop learning how to use power tools, it wasn't impersonal social forces acting on the lives of many individuals like everything else that happens
My most right wing opinion is that many young liberal men are useless in the domestic sphere because they abandoned traditional male household skills (repair work, carpentry, etc) without picking up traditionally feminine ones.
oh shoot we turned over the economy to the ventilator optimizing AI and it's processing the whole solar system into ventilators for our extinct species
mark zuckerberg we are going to give you the unfathomable power you ostensibly need to stop vaguely defined bad things from happening on your platform, and we are going to do it in a tone that suggests we are punishing you somehow
AI generated art represents basically no threat to serious art primarily focused on either its concept or the materiality of its own media, which is most of it and has been for a while. it can make anything you can make in photoshop which anyone with photoshop could already do
my twitter experience is basically just me reading alternating manifestos from groups of people who despise each other and just kind of nodding and going "that's true in a certain sense" to each one
doctors say agreeing with me is the healthiest thing you can do, and that disagreeing with me is a kind of syndrome of the brain that is in fact a medical emergency
A particular brand of conspiracy theory is emerging in the mainstream: A belief that the “official story” is in fact a Big Lie, being told by powerful, shadowy interests.

oh yeah the sentiment is pretty normal, but I mention bean dad because a bunch of teens acting out their nature on something totally innocuous genuinely affected that dude's life
listen, you're too dumb to think about the news. shhh. drink some water. do a self care. it's all just so draining, isn't it? gosh, it's all so much for your little head
sometimes this guy is very right on about silhouettes and tailoring and stuff, but I think RFK Jr.'s being a sort of weird hodgepodge of cultural signifiers as a ripped elderly weirdo from a famous political dynasty is well represented by a dress belt with jeans
we should not judge presidential candidates according to physique but whether they understand that 1.25" dress belts with stitched edges should be kept to tailored trousers and that jeans require wider, plain-edged 1.5" belts that are in keeping with denim's more casual nature
not to mention that I grew up with appliances, cars, and computers that were much more amenable to being opened up and fixed by the same people who used them. they literally changed society from the top down to make all that shit harder
A number of philosophers, futurists, science-fiction writers, and technologists have come to believe that the simulation argument is not just plausible, but inescapable.
Advice: For some, psychedelic therapy can help with climate anxiety, which is unlike any other issue in psychiatry because the feelings extend beyond our personal narrative.
I personally know how to do a great deal of boring household stuff because I grew up in a house that had to be maintained, and because my dad did too and I was around him doing that stuff. nobody abandoned anything there are just less people in that situation
New info from Maryland DNR:
The zebra was found dead Sept. 16 in a snare trap on a private property that officials said is owned by the Girl Scouts.
Officials have been saying for weeks they were close to capturing the zebras safely.

I feel like if you didn’t know tornados exist they’d be completely unbelievable, like ball lightning or something, a completely different phenomenon in a world with photography
The guy who paraded a Confederate flag through the Capitol. “Zip tie guy.”

and the woman who stole Nancy Pelosi’s laptop. What do they all have in common? You’re paying for their defense.

when society breaks down I'm going to make my friend who owns guns do a video game escort mission to come save me. I'm going to run into his line of fire constantly, it's going to piss him off so bad
there's nothing to really be done but we're never getting back any liberties we take away to deal with this. every bit of surveillance infrastructure, every lapse in civil liberty sets a precedent. maybe we have to. I have no clue.
I saw an IG Reel that said something along the lines of “women have no idea how often the men in their lives think about the Roman Empire.”
So I asked my husband: “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?”
And without missing a beat he said “Every day.”
YALL! Why!?
people who don't have enough in-person human interactions start seeing demographic categories like "men" and "women" as these sort of big amalgamated monsters with shared minds and shared responsibility for everything inside them. it's not a new observation but man is it tiresome
once again this fever dream combination of the interviewer deliberately playing a straight man and david bowie dressing like it's 1976 have led people to believe these were not status quo ideas about the internet in 1999
yeah I love that vape shops have flashing window surrounds the approximate brightness of the sun and 7-11s have floodlights appropriate for federal prison guardtowers and I get a headache from driving under pure white streetlights now. all that stuff is great
Just looking at the beautiful LED light bulbs. Available in all heats. In all fittings. And styles. In all powers. Hugely efficient. And remembering the energy efficient bulb backlash from back in the day. Seems (with a few exceptions I'm sure) pretty silly now.
To be clear: If God offered to shorten my life to lengthen Scorsese's- I'd take the deal. This man understands Cinema. Defends Cinema. Embodies Cinema. He has always fought for the art of it and against the industry of it. He has never been tamed and has a firm place in history.
powerful psychological energies swirling around the sentence “I'm an extremely honest thinker who isn't beholden to anyone and has a lot of hands-on life experience at a quirkily wide array of activities”
