(He/him) I’d rather be a cat than be dead

Every single dipshit on the internet is talking about AI being real like a credulous idiot and there’s no escape.

I'm not sure there's a single trait in rulers that is more universally criticized in the canon of western political thought that susceptibility to flattery.

The favorite president of west coast Straussians and various other avowed Western Civilization Defenders *brags* about it.

I'm convinced that a large swathe of left-of-center cis folks think of trans adults as a group completely separated from trans children, as people who made some kind of quirky life choice once they were old enough. But Every. Single. Trans. Adult. was once a scared and confused trans child

this argument is always such a tell that the speaker conceptualizes the US as an extension of Europe, rather than as part of the Americas

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

I truly believe that Harry Potter was so popular because the concept of being put into little societal castes was very appealing to Westerners, particularly white ones, with no culture or tradition of this- they feel special and chosen, a sense of pride.
White people crave this lol

"separating the art from the artist" is an analytical tool. it arrests the impulse to try to read the artist's mind when you're interpreting their work. if you want an adage to keep in your pocket when you're making consumer choices, try "follow the money."

I’m not a business genius or anything but if you shed 1800 jobs in three years, while owning one of the most popular entertainment products in history and the tool used to make it, maybe there are other questions to be asked somewhere.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

My wife has NEVER played/watched anything Pokemon but is now obsessed with pokopia and goes into gaming fugues with the switch.

She only breaks the near silence occasionally when a new pokemon has been introduced, sounding astounded and a little offended by shouting their name:

“Tyrogue?!!..????”

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

As I've said many many times -- and as has become inarguably clear in the last decade -- reactionary politics is not an alternative set of moral & political values. It is a permission structure to disregard values entirely & indulge in atavistic instincts. It's permission to be shitty.

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real.
It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

The ability to buy anything on account of having too much money wrecks a person's brain just like a zero-gravity environment destroys muscle mass and bone density.

Human bodies are designed for resistance and they liquefy rapidly without it.

a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'

HORSES won the IGF Nuovo Award. We’re profoundly grateful. To us, this recognition also speaks to a broader idea: that no gatekeeper should decide which games deserve to exist or what counts as art. Thank you to everyone who supported HORSES and helped carry it this far. PS: What a wonderful team!

I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding

To be honest you could put any jpeg of the current economy in there and the line would be correct.
