Nabokov: I am going to write about a monster doing sick shit
Readers: wow this book is hot.
Nabokov: oh so all you are monsters and cant comprehend the text.

Any time people start with the ephebophelia nonsense I want to point them to this quote by Nabokov about Lolita where he just fucking eviscerates an interviewer claiming that Humbert Humbert was the equivalent of 40 year olds marrying 20 year olds:

"Woke" is an AAVE term with a specific function that was deliberately hijacked by right wingers to spoil that function, and far too many of us let them do it and even enabled it
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Genuinely mystified to discover there were American soccer fans sitting at home thinking, if we just tough this out the rest of the world will come around to our way of thinking… 🤷♀️
Because teams will get to play in international leagues with all the rest of the northern hemisphere sides playing an autumn-to-spring calendar. Football (soccer) is a winter-aligned sport in the rest of the world.

this is exactly right. it makes sense that you would focus endlessly on discourse when you don’t actually *know* anything about the world.

i think it's a strange attractor for people who don't actually know anything. like the theme running through all this is not having to know anything of substance about the subject--not having to take and defend a position about what's actually true--and instead it's all just meta-discourse critique

a concept i talk about a lot with the guy i'm seeing is "fast thinking", which is like low-grade, shallow, and easily disposable pop intellectualism. key hallmarks include focusing on discourse over substance, not being able to separate similar form from different content, and "annoying = evil"
legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

It's astounding how service outfits will game those "rate my service person" things to ensure nobody ever makes quota. I once did tech support for a place whose rating out of 5 was secretly a rating out of 6 – it had a field for "other comments", and filling it in counted for the secret 6th point.

I attended SFF cons as a teenager.
I stopped getting regularly and persistently sexually harassed at SFF cons sometime in college.
"Oh wow you look way older"
No the fuck I did not because when I WAS older these weirdos stopped.
They know what the hell they're doing.

To the two well-respected local SF/F community leaders who each told a teenage child of a friend of mine, "I can't wait for you to turn 18, I'll be waiting for you," I know your names you fucking shitty-ass pedo bastards, and I *remember*.
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

But I also remember being around adult women who eviscerated those men snarling in disgust, “She’s 15! Get away from her,” and seeing those men’s masks drop and how they turned into Gollum.

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

Also, dishwashers run much hotter than we can generally handwash so if you run a load and there's a little bit of something something atfer a load stuck to a plate just scrape it off - it's clean.
