gonna make a little thread of threads of my threads on understanding/surviving the current sociopolitical moment so that people can just 📌 one thing if they want a place to reread all of these

(I’ve been told they’re useful, scroll past with no ill will if not to you!)

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.

My friends and I did absurdist protests at the 1992 RNC (the Pat Buchanan one) at the Astrodome, not with costumes (too damn hot) but with signs accusing Bush of not remembering the Alamo and not standing up to the International Zinc Cartel. Here we are with some mounted police.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

ME: "can you build me a machine that unloads the dishwasher for me so *i* can read a book?"

Yes, I’m aware building robots that can do your chores is insanely hard, as compared to making a genAI tool that can make pictures of five-boobed-ladies - which is why all those techbros who constantly masturbate to their own genius should stop fucking around and do something actually impressive

Egg bagel toasted, lox, cream cheese, red onion, tomato. If they add capers I’m not mad about it but I didn’t ask for them.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

I guess I’m not surprised they’re advocating for foreskin when red states already force kin

man now I’m feeling sentimental about that old video of Violent J supporting his furry kid (I hope that hasn’t been milkshake ducked in the decade or so since I last thought about it)

I bet fur suits are actually great protection those look thick but I bet it fucking sucks to have to launder tear gas out of your custom fursuit!! our bravest soldiers

Yell In a War @jelenawoehr.bsky.social · 1d

that’s a window same as the frog (I would personally have actual PPE inside any costume tho, I didn’t buy tactical goggles to NOT protect my eyes!)

Yell In a War @jelenawoehr.bsky.social · 1d

that’s a fair point, though I have my doubts about how much protection any of these afford vs having actual PPE on (there’s a YouTuber somewhere who has tear-gassed himself to do this comparison isn’t there)

Bay Arabian horse swings one front leg forward, toe pointed, with tidy lines, he is serving face and body, he is on beat, the other two horses in the photo are not impressed
