I am at this weird Nirvana tribute band show and it is really freaky how many of their songs are about sexual abuse.

Years ago, I was walking home late one night, and a drunk guy was harassing me - trying to get me to go home with him, pushy sex comments, etc. After a few mins, his mate turned to him and said, firmly but not aggressively, "MATE. leave her alone, yeah?" And he did. I think about him all the time.

I wish yall would start beating people up again. This isn’t even an option cuz you’re so gun toting trigger happy. Innocent people get killed cuz you’re actually too scared to fight. Every time you have a problem with someone doesn’t mean they have to DIE. You could beat them up again and again.

In my day, the sex cult that was endangering humanity & the world was quite different. Ron & Nancy Reagan, Caspar Weinberger, Bill Bennett, James G. Watt, Ed Meese, Al Haig, Liz Dole, Jim Baker, Bill Casey, Jeane Kirkpatrick...never enough lube or leather in DC or northern Virginia in those days

NGL I almost fell into the Rationalist thing in 2012ish but two things stopped me: 1. Learning their source text was Harry Potter fanfic. 2. The supposed “NRX takedown” done by SSC was so milquetoast it may as well have been an endorsement. Which kinda gave the game away.

If we held people personally and criminally liable for the "autonomous" actions of the AI systems they create and deploy, I bet the risky behavior would evaporate overnight.

I was at the 2016 Grammy’s and I warned my friend who brought us that if Ed Sheeran won for best song I was gonna bum rush the stage from the back row where we were sitting and punch Ed in the face. He had to pull me off the seats in front of us. Glad to be ahead of my time.

I thought I smelled something… The underlying premise of this is “I’m special, one of the specialist people who ever lived, and deserve credit as such because I’m saving the world, no not from climate change, disease, war, poverty, anything like that—I’m too special. Assume my speculation is fact.”

Also, lesson from the front lines of Gamergate: since they don't really give a shit about women's sports, changing women's sports won't appease them, it'll just embolden them toward more cruelty "lol no fuck off" is the correct response Then CHANGE THE FRAMING

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

When I was in my late teens I was very conspiracy minded and would talk about the “great capitalist conspiracy“ a lot and my dad finally got sick of hearing it and said “It’s not a conspiracy. It’s culture in the bacterial sense.”

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Elon can’t be fooled about how computers work because he programmed some in C in the 1990’s and this is absolutely something that would happen to a database app programmed in C in the 1990’s running on hardware from the 1990’s.

He prosecutes political enemies, high and low. He prosecutes random people on a whim. He is looting the public coffers. His administration posts lightly edited original-Nazi propaganda. He is purging the military of women, trans people, and people of color. He is revoking bodily autonomy.
