ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

you have to be a genuine fucking idiot to believe this. there is no plausible genetic mechanism for this, especially if you go looking for "IQ" genes. there are a few genes which if you turn them off make humans gravely intellectually disabled. other than that it's a million point mutations.

"but it's actually bad if SCOTUS stops the tariffs because it will make things suck less, thus blunting the blue wave" this might apply if Trump suddenly became a very sensible individual with a great sense of political strategy. if they strike them down he's gonna flip his shit & do bad things

I had thought most of my naive idealism had been stomped out of me by now, but it’s amazing to me that this level of public animosity could be directed by Democratic leadership toward a sweet and personable young candidate of their own party seemingly exclusively because of his background.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

i will note again that there is a really unhealthy, unpleasant and strong current of consumerism that runs through the left in a way that genuinely didn’t used to be true
The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional.
You don’t think video games should cost $100? Don’t buy the videogame. Buying Things Is Optional.

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

this is a pet peeve of mine. "war crime" is not something that means "bad thing I think is wrong". it is not a war crime to murder thousands of retreating enemy soldiers. it is a war crime to paint a Red Cross on a truck. if you think something is morally wrong just fucking say that.
ok so the basic problem here is that you have no idea what “war criminal” means except it’s a phrase that people react to

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

i think that if you enter into a conspiracy with the president to extrajudicially detain residents of the united states until they're raped to death in your city-sized torture prison you have committed an act of war against the united states. i am not suggesting nation-building.
