also time exists and things change as time progresses "this used to happen" yes it did. now it doesn't. that change is important. going back to barbarism we stopped doing is bad.

also decimation, which gets brought up all the time but the romans rarely used it, and when someone does the writing we have is of the "yo what the fuck" variety

i feel like i'm frequently making the point to students that just because something was possible/legal does not mean it happens

he has the correct level and direction of hater energy. question is does he keep it if he runs for president i kinda think he will? he's going to have to have a lane to distinguish from the rest and he seems to have picked one the primary being a fuck republicans competition sounds real good

i've had my skepticism about ossof but if he can keep the energy he's had in this campaign i'm on board

this was a long classroom discussion we had last month. students found the idea of public execution abhorrent and thought people who watched it were psychos, couldn't imagine it happening today. some discussion about whether seeing it would turn people against it. guess we might have to revisit

china simply works in gross terms. the most unusably huge cavern we can build japan's bad stations are sublime. true artistry to create wonders like the mc escher meets satan interior of hakata station. libera te tutemet ex inferis

Chairman Goa Tse-tung @jctenton.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

the real competition is in terrible stations. japan has some of the worst train stations on earth and china has not yet achieved such heights

sure, evidently none of the jetways work and you will always have to ride a bus full of farts from 1954 to get to the plane but. terminal big as hell? (hope you aren't old or infirm)

Chairman Goa Tse-tung @jctenton.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

we have created the world's largest train terminal great. how's the HVAC working in there

Chairman Goa Tse-tung @jctenton.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

also all those gigantic train stations and airports and shit look good as architectural renderings or Local Official Showing Off (and Skimming) but absolutely fucking suck to use. not designed for the human experience whatsoever

hearing people talk about the US as the most racist country in the world after living in east asia for a decade is always something

but on the other hand there are videos of people in costumes dancing so everything looks to be fine

i will forever be on the hill that podcast = audio medium. if there's a camera you're making youtube videos. that's a different thing. stop telling me about your "podcast" that is on youtube sitting and watching people talk into microphones for hours is psychotic behavior

also you'd have to be aware somewhere other than shanghai exists if you wanted to show good value for money housing

lmao why even fucking lie about this shit. in chengdu had a reasonably nice one bedroom a five minute walk from a subway station (edge of chengdu proper, not central) and it was ~$180 a month. for my middle class foreigner ass that was pretty damn good! no lies required!

iirc the biggest threat with plague is it's so uncommon doctors don't know what they're looking at so it doesn't get treated in time in this case they uh, presumably are aware and have antibiotics

can we have robots lay the bricks and dig the ditches? that seems like a thing that would be good to hand over to robots so people can do like, enriching stuff

this shit is infuriating in korean. people just make up their own romanization all the time instead of using the official system and you have no idea what it is there are korean menus in the US where i cannot figure out what the food is supposed to be because the romanization is so wack

turns out the median voter was right, there is the magic price change lever on the president's desk. it just only goes one way so no one was previously stupid enough to pull it
