Best thing I read on the internet today. And coming on the heels of finding out that grad programs in the humanities department I am ABD in are being “paused” with no consultation or input from the department itself makes it feel even more apparent that we are losing things faster than we realize

Hmmm. It’s almost like seeing that people could leave familial relationships because of abuse, abandonment or other traumatic experiences presented people with a model they could imitate 🤔 But no, It’s definitely ungrateful kids doing a trend. 🙄🙄🙄 I’m going to sprain my eyes rolling them this hard

This is the first question I ask in my Sex of Horror/Horror of Sex class and it is always SO FUN finding out everyone’s. A couple of common answers are Coraline, & Monster House. Mine will always be the Skeksis in The Dark Crystal 😳

These people who say everyone join trades have no idea what they’re talking about. I love the trades! My partner is a union carpenter. My dad is a small contractor. I have friends in all of them. But these media/elite demands are condescending and irresponsible. First, not for everyone. 1/

Very funny watching people be bothered by Jason Kelce referring to the Eagles as “we”. He’s like the honorary mayor of Philly. He married a normal local chick. He sang the “We’re from Philly” song while wearing a mummer suit. Were you expecting objectivity from Jason freaking Kelce? 🤣🤣🤣

Despite everything, Hurts is 10 for 13 for 111. Barkley has 11 carries for 73 yards. Devonta has five catches for 61 yards.

Guys, it’s okay to retire. You can just go golfing or build model planes or buy a classic car or lay on a beach in Mexico with a killer hangover. Tom Brady wasn’t a double dog dare.

I already answered this but it’s actually impossible. The thing is that based on my younger self’s media consumption, I’m about 20% Stephen King, about 20% Madeleine L’Engle & Ursula LeGuin, about 10% other random dark sci fi & fantasy, and the other 50% is entirely Jim Henson.

A publisher encountering a text where this happened would immediately point out that the satire of this timeline is a little heavy handed. “Trust your audience!” they would yell, voices slowly drowned out by the swelling chords of Lee Greenwood & then suffocated by a collapsing pile of MAGA merch.

One of the most surreal experiences I’ve had was when presenting about the witch trials and was making a point about how the underlying superstition, apocalypticism, & death cultishness are still alive today & an audience member was so angry at my premise that they had to be asked to leave. Well…

Entirely, exactly, all the way THIS. And I want to stress that what this comes from is the interpellation/interpolation of Private Equity logic into systems of governance and debate. In the PE field, uncertainty is the enemy and so it eliminates all multiplicity with ruthless efficiency. 1/

This is incredibly important, and it gets at why progressives are having a moment. As I’ve said before, there is no equation to solve this that looks like fix = regression. Which means some people won’t be happy.

I’ve been saying for a while now that an unnoticed flaw in the left’s vision is that they have a tendency to assume that “revolutionary” always means them, when in fact we are currently living through a conservative revolution.

Well they finally got what they wanted. He’s running the country like a business. It just turns out that the business is what would happen if Gordon Gecko and Patrick Bateman were running the mafia. To be fair they never specified what kind of business they meant.

LLMs are truly the leakiest, least enclosure-friendly tech I’ve ever seen. Like, laughably unable to be gated. And the grift by these companies of getting investor buy-in based on thinking everything is a SaaS is remarkable.

I’m sorry but if you want to do this to your kids for any reason other than drastic medical measures, you’re a terrible person who shouldn’t be allowed within a mile of children. Gender affirming care is about respecting your child’s ability to know their own needs. This is about controlling them.

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

Two core memories: 1. Learning to sing 3 part harmony with friends and have fun while you do it from Dolly, Linda and Emmylou. 2. Learning not to be afraid of being weird or embarrassed by who I’m attracted to from Tim, Meat Loaf, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick. Such spectacular beings.

Evergreen now unfortunately: One of the most inexplicable things about this moment is the apparently very high number of people in this country who seem to believe that regulations were passed purely out of spite and control impulse instead of because they were needed. Bizarre at the highest order.
