Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I think one of the most important lessons that the Greatest Dipshit Of Them All has given us is that the major militaries like Russia, and even like the US, are not nearly as strong as they appear (though axiomatically never as weak as they appear either). No gun has unlimited ammo. 100
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I partially--partially--tore my MCL doing martial arts way back when. I couldn't bear any weight on it, which meant my grading for brown belt was over, just before the easy part started. I had it in the bag otherwise :( In order to keep up in a UFC fight, CM must have been on so many PEDs. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Moscow's second greatest asset says his hospitalization was the result of a fall. So....what caused the fall? We know it wasn't Russia, because that traitorous walking embodiment of a sneeze that comes out both ends is still alive. What caused the fall? And how can we do some process improvement? 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Today I realized that something that is photoshopped has more authenticity in my head than AI slop, and "that looks shopped" could now conceivably be used as a TESTAMENT rather than an indictment??? Like there's fake but then there's LEGITIMATELY fake I hate this place so much lol 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Whenever men bitch about how a celebration they don't like, should instead be something else, and occurren ce as reliable as the rising of the sun, men conveniently forget that the group that is the identified in the celebration is usually responsible for planning it, until it's established. 110
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Time to shout pointlessly into the void: Trump is a con-artist, yes, but he's also a sociopathic malignant narcissist. He is David Koresh with billions of dollars. And like everyone else like him through history, he seems himself as a god, and has the power to make that some version of reality. 100
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Shitler should be beginning to realize that world politics is structurally impossible for any one person to manage effectively. Forcing people to do stuff they don't want to can only get you so far; for everything else there needs to be buy in. And Trump is probably the worst salesman in the world. 100
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 16/05/2026China publically executes its Epstein files main characters. Imagine what a flex it would have been if Xi took Trump to watch one of their pdf file executions? I would have woken up at any time of the night to be able to watch Shitler witness that. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, the bill comes due. I sincerly, unironically hope they wake up before the bill becomes payable in only one currency. They're certainly flirting with the line. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/02/2026If any of the occupants of that Florida registered speedboat in Cuba were US and had drugs on them, enjoy your FAFO moment, USA. Also, fuck the men's US Hockey for not getting a team's worth of 10 min roughing misconducts after finding their locker room invaded by a pedophile 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 28/01/2026StOp AcTiViSt JuDgEs How about we stop activist cops? Go look up how cops respond to right wing vs left wing protests. And how they respond to escalations, even the when the police themselves are the escalation. Which protests does "police escalation" happen at? Look it up. I'll wait. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026People out there trying to suggest that 2A is for people to like, show fascists their guns with the expectation that the fascists will immediately and magically disband. The right, the legally defensible RIGHT, is to bear, and where a reasonable person thinks it's necessary, to USE arms vs tyranny. 101
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 23/01/2026The first 10 seconds of No Reason by Sum 41 is one of the best 10 second intros to any song I've heard. Like damn I could just listen to those 10 seconds on repeat, but if I did I'd never hear the LAST 20 seconds of that same song, which is equally epic for an outro. Dammit Sum 41, you're TOO good 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Happiness is peace in action. Peace is happiness at rest. Neither has to be perfect to be real. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 19/01/2026People are so desperate to stop trans women from assaulting women in women's change rooms, (because trans women are just men) that they vote in a man who routinely assaulted women (and girls) in women's change rooms and bragged about it on national TV. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 18/01/2026There's rhetoric that I find interesting to contemplate from an academic and purely not practice oriented theory: The talking point that physically influencing people like Jayk Long in Minneapolis to reconsider their approach all the way out of town is "playing into their trap", a thread: 100
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/01/2026One thing "law and order" types who buy tanks for their local police force don't mention, is that it is an inevitability--an INEVITABILITY--that those resources will be used against the citizenry they are ostensibly meant to protect. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I've been thinking about how we as humans are so often incapable of applying to ourselves the grace and comfort that we expertly offer to others. It's frustrating as hell, but maybe it's an opportunity? It forces us to rely on community and relationships, which is good because no one can solo this. 000

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 01/12/2025You often hear sports announcers say "if they're not cheating they're not trying hard enough" This has always been extremely problematic for me. You aren't really playing the sport if you're not playing by the rules. The same holds true for business, our legal system, and the social contract. 120
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 10/11/2025What we cannot perceive, we call mystery. What we cannot understand, we call magic. What we cannot perfect, we call art. What we cannot complete, we call science. What we cannot agree upon, we call religion. Using religion as a basis of law (over science!), is the dumbest possible timeline. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 30/10/2025(1) I think a lot about why we do what we do. I personally believe that we are the way we are due to evolutionary programming. Evolutionary psychology is problematic, but I believe it fundamentally describes a lot of our behaviour. It just fails to finish the sentence. 230
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 22/10/2025(1) A recent post I made (since taken down) about the recent event that catapulted TurningPointUSA into the national discourse was flagged for removal for violating community standards, a thread: 110
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Another thought: Nazis instituted draconian punishments for disobedience. Ex-ing a Nazi usually meant everyone around you would be punished (killed) along with you. Put another way: not even the threat of death for (only) the perpetrator was enough to deter people from ex-ing Nazis. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 22/10/2025What converts a standard racist/bigot into ab actual Nazi is not the intensity of their belief but rather the backing of the state. Racists are an inevitable consequence of our worst instincts, but mostly self-regulate by being so awful no one can stand them. Once they somehow get elected though... 000

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Harry Potter is canonically trans. Only a mother's love conveys the protection ward that saved Harry's life. *Only* a mother's love, because James' sacrifice didn't confer any protection upon Lily. But Harry's sacrifice confers this effect upon all of Hogwarts. Harry is therefore a trans mother. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Wouldn't it be great if we could drive today's Puritans out of North America and send them somewhere they can't hurt anyone anymore?

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Mens' egos are so fragile because they never get any chance to exercise their self-control muscles, probably due to their marked propensity to kill women who say mean or simply true things to them ever And then they call us manipulative for carefully phrasing what we say to them so we don't die 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I've been bothered by the Spanish word marido (husband) and its feminine counterpart esposa (spouse). Esposo (masc) exists, but marida (fem) does not. Why? Marido means married, ie, a state and individual can be. Esposa means "promised" as in, I contract to give you this property. Fucking gross. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 20/08/2025From the "You Can't Make This Up" File: The US Gov't accuses a police force of "reckless reliance" on the govt-run E-verify program that confirms whether or not an individual is in the country legally after E-verify confirmed their cadet candidate was allowed to work in the US 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Literally all of male fantasy involves being superhuman in some way, and/or at the very least defying the odds to become King of the Hill.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 14/07/2025I'm starting to wonder if autism serves an evolutionary advantage in addition to just being a variation in neurocognitive architecture. Maybe the "justice sensitivity" we're labelled with drives a moral core around which societies coalesce? Maybe autistic people "wrote" the social contract? Dunno. 010
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 14/07/2025If you think Elon Musk is a "gifted entrepreneur" unfriend me, unfollow me, right now. Hitler was a gifted orator. But no amount of giftedness in any area can ever mitigate the fact that he was ALSO one of the worst humans ever to exist. Fascism is the only thing where nothing else matters. 110
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The Customs and Immigration department of the US has a budget roughly equivalent to our military. They could invade Canada and we'd probably struggle to repel them. And that's WITH the rest of the entire US Armed Forces sitting back munching on their extremely expensive, weapons-grade popcorn. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure Putin has a literal list of people who he's going to get revenge on, doesn't matter if it was 20 years ago, or how little the slight was, you're still on the list. His deluded sycophantic cocksucking delusional and dementia-riddled asshole probably does the same. 000
Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 08/07/2025for the 3 people in the world who haven't figured this out yet: in 2028, Donald Trump will declare martial law to suspend the election. Maybe he creates a pretense. Maybe he just does it. Doesn't matter. By doing so, he will deliver on the only promise he ever intended to keep: no more elections. 100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I guess what it comes down to is that I'd rather government waste our tax dollars at least making an attempt to provide services that benefit all of us rather than wasting it by diverting it to the bank accounts of assholes who won't even notice the change to their hoarded wealth 010
