not to be flippant but I think that almost all of these people have severe personality disorders and it’s merely a result of circumstance that they’re here instead of storming the capitol on Jan 6th

Punk rock was the vibe coding of music - you really don’t have to have much technical skill, you can just jam three chords, so what’s left over is your creative intent and imagination. Cool!

None of you know what a boycott is or how it functions. This is a separate thing, something like an excuse to engage in a favored pastime of social enforcement. The only rational response is something like “I reject your attempts at social enforcement; I owe you nothing, talk to the wall”

These people don’t want the future to get any better. They would rather do “mutual aid” forever than actually develop. This kind of Loserism is somehow offensive to both doctrinaire capitalists AND communists alike

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

regarding airport discourse yes it's very stupid to be overly neurotic about many things if you're a little wealthy this is good and applicable advice to many people if you're broke too bad tho but you already knew that

info landscape is so shattered that I understand why people do this, it's a useful but crude heuristic, but it ought to be "...and therefore take this with a grain of salt, there may be ulterior motives at play" and not "...and therefore you must instead passionately believe the exact opposite"

There is such a lack of positive political visions out there that people come to their opinions via: I hate these motherfuckers -> I believe the direct polar opposite of whatever they believe Totally diseased epistemics but can you really blame them?

this is important to get your head around the basic shape of water use out West. farmers get the overwhelming majority of it--far more than all industry and cities put together--and pay almost nothing for it

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

just for context, this appears to be a report that was generated based on a tip submitted online through a form on the FBI’s website. anyone can submit a tip. it’s illegal to submit false tips, sure, but “the president dropped my dead baby in lake michigan” sounds like someone who needs help.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

This is a very real distillation of why Charles Entertainment Kirk matters so much not just to pigs like Gutfeld but to worms like Ezra Klein. It's quite simple: They've heard of him, so he's real, in a way Hortman, trans people, Black people, immigrants, me, and/or you are not.

The basketball dildo affair is honestly one of the most menacing things going on right now. It's portrayed as a joke, but it really has the vibe of raptors testing fences.

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex
