I thought this was a really good episode of two people putting words to concepts that we probably all innately know somewhere deep in our brain folds
I needed to start the new year with this conversation with the remarkable philosopher C. Thi Nguyen (@add-hawk.bsky.social) about scoring systems; outsourcing values; and the game that you — and me — shouldn't be playing: youtu.be/7AdbePyGS2M?...

Absolutely. Tacos of Texas has been holding this line for a decade now. This isn't some reactive fact, it's just the truth; immigration is good. And the people who immigrate are typically paragons of American values!

Obviously this is obscured by having an account that nobody sees, but I think this site is the least toxic social media? It's just very easy so far for me to avoid or ignore people I don't like on here.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

No matter how much hate you have in your heart for the United States and the imperialist regime that has ruled here for so long, the capitalism that demands empire, it is not too much. It is not enough. Even if you are choking on pitch-black bile, they deserve more bile

people talk about stealing resources but this is about the wounded masculinity of Americans and the desire to feel powerful by hurting, conquering, killing, taking, this is about Americans understanding ourselves as masters of the world and lashing out in rage at a world that won't just submit
Since illegally abducting Maduro 10 hours ago, Trump has threatened to take action in:
- Mexico
- Colombia
- Cuba
It’s blatantly clear he wants to take over the whole region and isn’t gonna let laws get in the way.

If you feel tempted to use Venezuelan politics to advance your own political agenda whilst being completely clueless about it, you are as also a part of the problem. Americans, please leave the rest of the world alone, ffs.

This year I'll be hanging it up y'all. That's right. I'm retiring. From my career. My career of buying tickets to professional wrestling live events and wearing a particular shirt in view of the hard cam. You don't have to call me a hero, but I would.

I see a growing number of obviously AI generated ads, and it always makes me think two things: (1) This is a rinky-dink outfit that can't afford to film a commercial with real sets and actors, and more importantly (2) They are lying to me even more than ads usually do.
