I used to think it was dumb that every corporation in horror fiction tried to build the 'ultimate predator' or organism, as though that were a viable business model. All those engineered monsters are just going to destroy everything! Today, I get it. It's the most realistic part of those stories.

You are not as moral or sane as you believe yourself to be if you hit up the GC with morally challenging questions such as, "Should I tell this stranger that pissed me off online to kill themselves?" I guess asking first counts for something though.

To whom it may concern: Exercising your legal right to say the worst and most harmful thing at any given moment does not transform you into a heroic defender of that right. It just makes you a miscreant.

Tracey's approach to Cornell is characteristic. He could have gone with the perfunctory "Many facts are contested, everyone deserves due process" - but that doesn't provide the adrenaline rush of outright doxxing the victim. Only the latter makes him feel like a true free speech martyr or whatever.

Michael Tracey seems to see himself as goring sacred cows, and interprets the resulting hate as proof he's a free-thinking iconoclast. The problem is, he's not smart enough to find actual sacred cows, so instead he just acts like a lout, then bizarrely celebrates being widely despised.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

While one could easily do a less than charitable "No shit" reading of this post, I think it's actually quite important to note that the usual "benevolent sexism" of the Right is basically dead. It's all in on overt hostile sexism that's only getting worse

I don't think of Iglooghost as much of a rapper since Tidal Memory Exo. His production skill easily outshine his ability to rap, but ᲘᲘ is proving me wrong. Generally a lot better and even busts out some banger lines like "Sat here doing fuck all in my cave like I'm a stalagmite"

In the event you need an (unnecessary) temperature check of Twitter, many people are getting tilted over AI-generated nostalgia-bait slop, but of course, in a weird racist way.

A screenshot of the AI-generated video. It has some strong tells like gibberish signs and incomprehensible logos.

MacPhee On twitter: "To zoomers and alphas: it really did look like thi. It isnt made up ai nostalgiaslop. This was real, I loved it, and it was deliberately taken from us. But we can have it back. We have have all of it back and more."

The eternal meta to getting dozens of mindless likes here is "Libs bad" involving edge cases or outright lies in your posts. Current example: "Liberals are trying to rehab Richard Hanania despite him being a creep bastard about everything." What, no we aren't, that's largely false.
