six months ago Reader’s Digest asked if they could purchase the publishing rights for this elaborate shitpost I wrote a year ago now wherein I pretended to be the elf equivalent of David Brooks at the North Pole. Thought it was maybe a phishing scam but it’s real LMAOO

I feel like paying a subscription to allow game consoles to connect to the internet is a scam that we just quietly accepted.

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

It’s so interesting that people who did a whole MD and fellowship or whatever in infectious diseases are still talking about immunity debt like it’s a real concept based in science and not something McKinsey made up in 2022 to convince everyone to start spending money again.

The reason you sprinkle posts like "The brain is the Ass of the head" throughout your timeline is to preserve the insanity plea in case you ever need it

we have got to go from gritted teeth optimism to unhinged optimism. we have got to genuinely believe the world can be better in our lifetime. and we have got to make it everyone’s problem until it is.

used to be when you were offline for a few days you could sort of delude yourself into thinking maybe everything had gotten better but now even if you're in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected, you can feel, just in the air, that somehow it's now even worse than you can imagine

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

Authoritarianism is scary and dangerous but so very far from invincible. And if you let yourself be convinced too much of their power, then they've won. Authoritarianism is built on fragile illusions of control and competence. It's hard but brittle and shatters readily under even a little pushback.
