I saw tons of them as we were driving to the ranch, but when we got there, none were around. The horses were right by the cook shack where we ate. But the cows eluded me.

It's one of my life aspirations. I met some horses at a ranch over Thanksgiving, but the cows eluded me.

Please stop referring to country singers as "cosplay cowboys" just because you don't like their politics. You should instead be referring to ME as a cosplay cowboy, because after 10 years in Texas I dress like one despite being the poster child for a globalist urbane elite who's never touched a cow.

My personal favourite Aella misleading belief is that your birthday orgy was sponsored by Big Sankey Graph to reignite the then-unpopular Sankey graphs, rebranding them for a modern audience.

Oh no, the local cafe gave me a free coffee (because they're training a new barista to make latte art), so I've had a lot of coffee at 1:30pm. I surely will not regret the free 1:30pm coffee. It's OK for me to break my "coffee only in the AM" rule just this once.

I can acknowledge the good parts about Hegel (dialectic) and the bad parts (mysticism) without needing to declare him entirely good or bad.

My wife is training in dialectical behaviour therapy (as a therapist, not a patient lol). One nice side-effect is that now she tells me things like "you're really good at holding two opposing ideas in your head" and calling me her "dialectical husband".

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

They're literally too stupid to steal the midterms. They can't even plan a Signal group chat effectively. Their best and brightest are alcoholics, perverts, or being cucked by Elon Musk. They're just not competent enough to steal an election. They're the party of Four Seasons Gardening Supplies.

Happy 10th anniversary to Firewatch.
Unbelievable it's been a decade - it's remained as memorable as I thought it would, and one of the few games played beside my partner that he loved. My joint GOTY in 2016 - still love it, ending and all. 🔥🧡

Great Man Theory is correct insofar as there are, yes, great people, but it misses that even the greatest mind simply can't reason everything on their own, and require a lot of trusted dissenting voices to be effective. So many great minds decline in their later years after giving into sycophancy.

It's nearly impossible for me to imagine an effective army or government that can plan effectively without fierce debate over courses of action. The thin notion of democracy-as-voting vs. the thick notion of democracy as public debate and group argument at every level of society.

I think the Jewish ethos is fundamentally aligned with the spirit of democracy; the same love of argument powers both the Talmud and democracy. Jews have thousands of years of cultural practice centered around arguing to get to the truth, which is fundamentally incompatible with dictatorship.
