Keep having a recurring nightmare that my dad is still alive

This is a sort of scientificized explanation of one of my favorite ideas: ts eliot’s “objective correlative” Telling someone “feel sad” does not make them feel sad. Telling them a sad story does. Art is an object that transmits an emotional or mental state not directly stated by the art itself

It's been well understood in the culture, a joke even (how funny!), that frats are breeding pits for rapists since at least the 1970s, and the only excuse for why they are still around is that powerful people think that's fine.

They should release a self replicating ai agent that destroys internet infrastructure. Just fills up databases and overheats processors in aerver environments and directs other agents into loops until we have to start over from scratch. Im not kidding at all

If you are a policymaker or administrator and your infrastructure project is going to take longer than the electrification of the tennessee valley, you should kys or at least resign and make room for someone who can do your job

Each party should propose a budget and then the two should go to plebiscite. Actually the top three ranking parties should be able to do this. Would spur the viability of a new party

The smart political move for a dem congress would be to balance the budget while trump is still president. He’ll take the heat for all the pain

For obvious reasons, I haven't talked much about it on here, but my father died suddenly while cycling. Grateful to @sltrib.com for letting me eulogize him and write about the absolute moral necessity of making roads safer for pedestrians and bikers.

Voices: Deaths like my father’s are not anomalies. They are the bloody cost of our car-obsessed world.
“We can, we must, take action now, before some new senseless death proves the need for change all over again,” Grace Benfell writes in an op-ed.

All generations are the products of their conditions and the conditions under which they were created. If Gen Z is fucking or partying less (debatable outside of covid anomaly cohort), this is a reflection of how fucked up conditions have gotten, not how fucked up the kids have gotten.

The next congress will need to set up a constitutional crisis and take preemptive steps to win it. Sadly, I don't think they are prepared for step 1 or step 2 of this plan. But that's what they need to do.

Survivor was originally 39 days. After covid they cut it down to 29. Latest season is 26. They all act like they are in auschwitz Australian Survivor is 49-55 days. Everyone acts like they are on a fun camping trip

“Its the passing lane. Stay right if you arent passing” No one needs to be driving 20 over the limit. if the person in the left lane is going one mile an hour faster than the nearest person in the right lane, they are passing. leave them alone and drive a normal speed

The one time in history that "Judeo-Bolshevism" was actually tried was on the kibbutzes that founded the state of Israel which all you right wing freaks seem to have a huge boner for, so I don't know why you use the term derisively.
