Two things need to happen regarding the Cornell Seven: they need to be removed from society, and their families need to be punished for raising men like that. It would be elegant if we could do both things at once.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

I’ve always loved cats because while their love is conditional, those conditions are clearly defined and easily understood. Food, lap, pettings. I feel like if a cat loves me, then I’m doing something right. A cat’s purr is a signal that I am a good human.

Like I don't think this is grasped nearly enough. We're not fighting major liberal and centrist politicians because of some obscure doctrinal issue. We're fighting them because *they're actively collaborating with fascism* and you don't defeat fascism without crushing collaborators.

We need a General Order 227 for Democrats. "Not one step back!" on trans-rights. I'd volunteer myself to be a commissar. Because if you give the opposition an inch on this, they'll take a mile, and mile by mile we would lose. This is our Volga and there is no land beyond it.

I remember classmates from middle-eastern families not coming to college for fear of misplaced reprisals. I remember the demands by jingoists to stick our metaphorical genitals into a beehive out of bloodlust. What I experienced in the aftermath of 9/11 was a bond fraying, not a bond being shared.

That was certainly a big day. I was eager to play it with my friends. For all the criticisms one could make about the launch version, it ran at a consistent frame rate on four different consoles spread across two generations, and I was damn proud I played a part in delivering that.

Something I once told a class of special needs kids that I was invited to speak to was, “You can use your condition to explain your behavior, but you should never use it to excuse your behavior.” The onus is on us know ourselves and know how we need to approach situations we might struggle with.

Categories are fake, there will always be weird edge cases where the boundaries fail, this is just a fact. The question is not "is this category REAL or TRUE" the question is "is this category USEFUL" because categories are tools, not features of the universe.

Some advice I remember reading was to never give your loyalty to institutions, because as a social fiction an institution is incapable of reciprocating that loyalty, but do give your loyalty to people, because people can repay your loyalty in kind. I try to take that to heart.

Yeah, this. It's too easy to grant yourself a moral license for bad behavior when you self-identify as an kind of "good person." Just try to do good things and let others be the judge of whether that makes you a good ally or not.

I dream of a utopia where all children are born from synthetic uterine replicators and raised communally. Genetic selfishness will not be tolerated there. "But Colin, I have an overwhelming feeling of love when I hold my children!" We can replicate that feeling chemically. It's much more efficient.

I've heard it described as "the American gentry" and it forms the backbone of conservative politics in the United States. We need more politicians who are willing to pound the podium and talk about how we're going to break this policial class' stranglehold on rural power.

If you are a conservative and want to salvage something of that ideology, you must also support the eradication of the Republican Party and American Conservatism as if presently exists. They are the enemy of small government, human liberty, peace and thriving.

Related: the belief that stupid people tend to be bigoted is a reversal of cause and effect. Prejudice makes people stupider, because they'll be less inclined to learn from anyone they consider lesser, and resistant to data that contradicts their prejudices.

I’d say “Marathon” but we got another sequel recently after decades of that series lying fallow. Admittedly, it was a huge departure from the originals in terms of gameplay and tone, even if it technically exists in the same universe. But the original was a landmark for its time.

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.
