If I am on here there is a 100% chance I'm procrastinating, so if you see me please tell me to log off and go do whatever I'm avoiding. (Writing. It's writing.)

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

If the Democratic Party actually released an autopsy from 2024 we’d actually find out where all the money went, how billions were set on fire, and maybe find out which popular podcasts and liberal voices and personalities are being paid by the party.

Where the Bodies are Buried: The Hidden DNC Autopsy
The DNC is choosing to hide what went wrong in 2024 and, in turn, is making future failure much, much likelier

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

Everyone calm down, it was just a dinner. It's not like Brooks wrote an entire column saying Epstein's crimes weren't a big deal and his critics are hysterical while failing to divulge his attendance!
The NYT imperiously declined to provide details, just declaring their op-ed columnists must of course attend dinners with "noted and important business leaders". But it's not hard to find. The Silicon Valley pantheon was there: Musk, Bezos, Brin, Mayer, Wojcicki, Mundie & Myhrvold of Microsoft... 3/

Fuck all of you saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". Be antihuman on your own time. This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, isn't needed and isn't wanted.

It almost goes without saying, but this is illegal. The name "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" is established by law and the board doesn't have the power to change it. 20 USC 3 §§ 76h - 76s.

i spent a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me. after having a certain number of guns and knives pulled on me and having a couple bones broken I decided conservatives aren't worth the trouble.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

You are also the traffic you loathe. You’re the bad driver you curse. You’re part of the reason roads aren’t safe for pedestrians and thus are not safe for people who *cannot* drive, either because they are too young, too old, too poor, or otherwise car-free. You’re a car addict!
I think what’s getting me about the whole transit discourse is the viciousness with which people defend private car ownership as a reflection on their personal character. It’s you! You’re the problem!
I don’t drive; I can’t drive. I feel like a second-class citizen and this behavior enforces it!

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

For both Cuban and Musk, my emotions waver between revulsion and pity. They have all material things a person could want. They influence policy, culture, and how information is distributed. But their wealth literally precludes them from understanding the human condition. I think I would rather die

"Gatekeepers," "gatekeeping," and every other variation thereof are going on a high shelf until everyone proves they can use them responsibly.

I have come to the view that a) there is nothing inherently wrong with pornography, b) a worrying amount of Actually Existing Pornography is essentially hate propaganda against women, c) a lot of b is made under deeply abusive conditions.
Yes, which is why it is both true that (1) allowing THIS congress and THIS administration to sign internet restrictions or porn bans is crazy, but (2) there is a major, major problem with online access to pornography and liberals/Democrats needs to start thinking of ways to reckon with it.
also the online far-right are, almost to a man, porn-brained at a level that's quite difficult for people to process. they genuinely believe pornography is an expression of reality, and porn tropes shape their thinking about women.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
