The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

As all the mechanics in my life I know hit their thirties they have either figured out how to get their way to running a shop/management, or their bodies are breaking. To make a living with manual labor in this country is to destroy your body and receive a societal shrug when you’re disabled.

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I like the lesbians. I like the lesbian bars. I know a rich woman who, after a long sequence of events, has bombed her sister-in-laws garage because of a meatball recipe. All people and groups are weird. It’s probably not a crisis if some lesbians are sometimes.

I fucking hate the madding crowd. Keep that thing far away from me. If there's a crowd to begin with, I'm not feeling great, though maybe I can handle it. But if the crowd's madding? Forget it. I hate going out with friends when someone is always like "oh is that the madding crowd? Let's get closer"

Putting my gender feelings into the void...for real and understandable reasons there isn't really a recognized social role or visual language for "queer woman who is not masc, high femme, or sexy femme". And like...I think my alienation from gender is more about that than anything else.

Purely vibes-based take: I think part of reason this feels shocking is that American Jews are a little less willing to embrace scorched-earth anti-Israel sentiment, while being overrepresented in lefty spaces where that kind of thing is expected.
