What I’m learning so far from peer review is that my claims about the pervasiveness of luck and its implications are simultaneously obviously true, incomprehensible, and dangerously insane. If not for my years of Discordian training I would have already become the Joker. 🙃

The future of the GOP is overt inceldom.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

In these uncertain times there is something comforting in how utterly predictable some things still are.
Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

The Goon is a Harsh Mistress.
Elon Musk told employees at xAI, his artificial intelligence company, on Tuesday that the company needed a factory on the moon to build A.I. satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space.

Like Trump, their capacity for vice is intuitive, instinctual, pre-reflective. As natural as breathing.

Honestly shocked none of these companies haven’t named themselves Panopticon. We’ve already got Palantir.
Foucault tried to warn us and people keep installing ring cameras it sucks

I'm partial to the idea I probably read in lol SparkNotes that Genesis is meant, whether by God or the people we're supposed to believe he inspired to write it, to say that God communicates with humanity symbolically, and, additionally, the one from the preface of my main man Jiddu Krishnamurti's...
Come and see the antichrist inherent in the system!
Conspiracy cultures have all come together. This, and the biggest-scale redistribution of wealth from bottom to the top in human history, are why so many people are going off the deep end.

More soon from me on this, but do read this @etvpod.bsky.social piece on Peter Thiel's Antichrist delusions.

It’s definitely weird to think that a good life is one with just the right amount of continuity.

Billionaire Peter Thiel has the ear of top politicians in the US - so his recent lecture series on the antichrist ought to be concerning

Thanks! If you want some extra fun on this subject, when that came out I skeeted my way through him taking to Douthat about the antichrist! Can’t wait to see what you’re working on with this! bsky.app/profile/etvp...
New article out on Thiel's antichrist obsession! In honor of this momentous occasion I'm gonna live-skeet my way through the part of Ross Douthat's interview with Thiel where the talk about the antichrist, cause it's fucking hilarious. A 🧵

Now every time a new Knights of the Seven Kingdoms ep drops all my brain can think is some version of “Knights of the the seven inches flacid in winter”. This is not a complaint, just an observation.
February 7, 2026 at 7:29 PM
Yeah clearly they didn’t read it well.
February 7, 2026 at 5:07 PM
It’s also super funny to watch the right try to make a moral argument of any sort at this point. Sorry my dudes, that ship has sailed, caught fire and sank.
so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

The dangers of reading Chuck Tingle I guess…
Just in: Texas' former solicitor general has left the AG's office amid sex misconduct allegations and a lawsuit outlining his apparent, months of detailed disclosures to colleagues about his sexual obsession with watching an asteroid anally rape the agency's No. 2 attorney in front of his kids.

Partly true! Dems working in those institutions will have to do some normalizing to cope. Downplaying, willful ignorance etc.

Maybe they’ll try to go back to using subtext once he dies, but I kind of doubt it. Being racist is sticking it to the woke, which is all that matters anymore.
February 6, 2026 at 2:46 PM
I worry that folks don’t realize just how normalized this stuff is on the right at this point. Southern strategy is done, we’re back to people openly defending overt racism, and have been for a while. I think the self-denial is strong for those whose jobs depend on pretending it ain’t so.
President Donald Trump went on a wild social media posting spree late Thursday night and into Friday morning, one that included a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
