It feels so good to encounter another person who has read Farenheit 451 as an adult so that you can bond over shared bafflement at Ray Bradbury’d seething disdain for women who get C sections

Guy who lives in DC who fancifully imagines that schools in bible belt shitholes will take GOP efforts to force prayer into schools and through some unknown alchemy turn them into advanced religious studies curricula.

Even if I end up liking the movie I’ll be on Wilson’s side because the overwhelming majority of negatice responses to her, including this one from JCO, are troglodytic and misogynistic. As if Wilson, an accomplished classicist, owes Nolan deference for his fucking effect on sales.

Your average Republican believes Sylvester Stallone’s character in the Paramount+ streaming drama “Tulsa King” is a real person and approves of child molestation provided the perpetrator is the victim’s father.

This is actually a tech prototype rollout from netflix. There’s only 20 mins of story/character material in a given episode, but with the new haptic-feedback based trackr system, they play up to 30 mins of the characters doing fortnite dances when it detects u looking at ur phone or folding laundry.

“perform Gender by working in a sparks factory” is so tasty, I’m very jealous of it. I thought my version of that (alluding to “WPA mural musclemen”) was good but it is thoroughly outclassed.

Incorrect. The North-South highway between Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia has no speed limits for motorcycles, and lane splitting is legal. You can also ride on the hard shoulder, if you don't mind the possibility of a puncture from debris.

I want to buck a discourse trend and say: I don’t think I could make a lot of money by abandoning my ethics and becoming a right-wing grifter. Maybe some of you could, but I couldn’t produce an endless stream of mind-numbing ragebait stuff day in day out. Sounds completely exhausting and miserable.

Open invitation for any NYT reporter to sit in on the class I'm teaching this summer at my SEC school, or on the coursework taken by newer students in my department. Other things happen here besides the sorority rush events which you people ogle like you're at the fucking primate house.

Perhaps certain lib posters on here are clever and inventive enough to figure out a way that this — like the spinelessness of congressional dems— is actually the fault of the party’s critics and the legions of largely imagined left wing non-voters. I believe in them!

That isn’t a correct way to understand it. They were always pro-child rape. “Epstein” is a synecdoche that stands for “Rich Jewish Democrats are working together to punish you and only Trump can stop them.”

I’m adorno-pilled. I’m negative dialecticsmaxxing. I’m insanely pessimistic and constantly saying shit like “but the universal contains within it the very same individuation,” and the fact that no one wears hats anymore represents the coarsening of the spirit which is so well represented by Balzac.

An interesting historical tidbit is that in places and times where gun ownership and use were very commonplace, gun safety habits remained appalling. 18th century newspapers filled with accidental shootings, half cocked loaded rifles falling off of mantles and discharging (killing their owner) etc.

And if the modern far-right surge were simply the cry of an anguished ‘white working class,’ if Reform voters “aren’t unreasonable – they’re desperate” for “better public services, higher living standards, and real action on immigration” in John Rentoul’s words, would there not come a point where they realised they had backed the wrong horse? In the US, Trump’s core voters have stayed firm, no matter how little their leader delivers economically. Far from being ignored, UK politics has centred anti-diversity demands—in chasing nativist and racist voters over the last decade, we have destroyed the foundations of our economy, our constitution, and our standing in the world. These people are not a consequence of indignity and squalor, they are a cause of it.
