right, exactly. i am adjacent to rationalists because i have worked alongside rationalists for a decade. some are very earnest EA monks who more or less give away the huge amount of money they make. some are neoreactionaries with essentially Satanic values. the monks and neoreactionaries get along.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

This is why "I love Shavo" videos take over your feed. A spontaneous moment between a person and their pet, and the oxytocin rush is mutual.

I think ‘rote memorization’ is underrated. Having a ton of shit laying around in your head leads to connections and being able to more precisely describe things.

This point, from my recent interview with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for TNR, is so crucial. Trans people are desperate for relief from the relentless Republican attacks impacting all of us. When Democrats move right, they signal relief may not be coming, and that engenders a lot of despair.
And so for Democrats to say, They have a point on some of this, it is engendering a lot of hopelessness and a lot of fear in the trans community, because we have been just trying to hold on, hoping that this time would end and we would be able to get back to where we were five years, six years ago. And what Democrats are signaling is, like, No, we’re going to keep things as they are, and maybe even make them worse.

Mexico’s fight for independence is the triumph of a people determined to shape their own future. Today, I was proud to be the first New York City Mayor to march in Sunset Park’s Mexican Independence Day Parade alongside a community that has fostered cultural pride across generations.

whenever I think about barnburner House investigations I am invariably drawn to the impeachment of Alcee Hastings, then a judge for the Southern District of Florida, and the scandal which led up to it. the whole package deserves a movie honestly, it's 70s/80s Miami madness from start to finish

A climate scientist complaining about a planned protected cycle lane because of car parking being affected sadly does not surprise me any more. I've seen too many environmentally-minded people fall for/propagate classic anti-sustainable transport arguments against cycling, buses, trams, metros etc.

NIMBYs: "The state is using money that was supposed to go for clean air to pay for people to ride bikes instead." Uh, yeah. Paying people to ride bikes is *literally* buying clean air.

Every time we bike together as a family on our cargo bike, our kid says "I don't wanna go home yet!" So my partner said one time "let's take the long way home" and now every time we want to take the long way home. I wish everyone could experience this bike joy.

Even worse in context. The thing about philosemites is that they love Jews precisely up to the point where you stop validating their fantasy version of Judaism, and not one inch further.

Hard to argue.
Being on Bluesky doesn't deliver delirious highs, but it also doesn't lead to crushing lows. Its users are almost entirely Twitter exiles who quit post-Musk, which means there isn't a cornucopia of insane takes found on Old Twitter. The main factions are annoying leftists who hate Chuck Schumer, annoying liberals who hate Chuck Schumer and annoying furries who hate Chuck Schumer.

I’ll probably have to say this a lot: There are two conversations here. One is with “Atlantic writers who think fascism is a legitimate punishment for Land Acknowledgements.” The other is with “progressives who realize that some 2010s tendencies were antithetical to building mass politics”
