The loudest libertarians I have ever known, conversely, have collectively seemed to start pretending they "don't really follow politics."

I mean, why? Ren faires are basically fantasy. They are not based on anything really medieval nor "renaissance" (early modern). They are medieval or tudor revival at most, and only at some things.

aside from some shop and temp jobs before I dropped out of university I have no experience of employment as a ‘man’. you’d think I would have been clever and saved up some money before I became unemployable but nooooo I had to go and have a breakdown instead

Ever since the Stochastic Parrots paper was published, I've been fielding the question "How do I know that you're not (just) a stochastic parrot?" ... one that I find inherently dehumanizing, as I write about here:

Here's an example of the reaction I'm describing here, and I appreciate something this particular poster makes clear: They neither understand nor respect boundaries. There's no policing happening here, just my own decisions about who I will have a conversation with.
Screencap of a tweet, with handle/name of poster truncated. Text: Eg, when Emily Bender says she won’t speak with anyone who doesn’t consider her a fully sentient human being, she is policing ontological *beliefs* of other people. When she denies LLMs can think (no ext reference) she is excluding them from meaningfulness *due to* their ontology

this was a little silly but at least believable after one term of trump, but is transparently flimsy after two.

donald trump is forever. the forces he represents are not just going to vanish like a dream. democrats need to contend with this fact to find a way out of the pit.

Good news today. The UK government proscription of Palestine Action has been deemed unlawful by the High Court. That should end the brutal persecution and prosecution of Palestine supporters, of course. It should also lead to grave consequences for Keir Starmer and his terror cabinet.

Well, she’s not. Let’s learn why and how that happened and maybe focus on that instead of screaming at people who didn’t vote.

on employment as a trans woman
told the story before about how I only got any of the many low-level admin jobs I applied for once I stopped being honest about being trans I just didn’t say it and let them assume I was a cis girl, then just "forgot" to present my ID to HR until they forgot about it boom: respectable university job public-facing, too. not something they let trannies do if they can avoid it the thing that gets me is that I was going for charity and public sector shit, like these are supposed to be the good guys but I could see the transmisogyny manifest like a fucking aura when it came up the other method ofc was to sign up with a temp agency, because then you just get placed and you can temp to perm with people who have to let you work at least one day, even if they know you’re a tranny. and if you’re friendly and competent and normal, congrats, you can push through the latent TME tranny hate

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

My most radlib take is that violence should be generally unacceptable, and is sometimes necessary.

I think there should be real social risks to being a violent person beyond just the risks inherent in physical confrontation.

In a nearly 500 word rant, President Trump goes after Bill Maher.

1. The dinner he references included Kid Rock and Dana White.

2. He ends it with “thank you for your attention to this minor matter.”
Donald J. Trump o© @realDonaldTrump Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a "Vodka Tonic." He said to me, "I've never felt like this before, I'm actually scared." In one respect, it was somewhat endearing! Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from "OBLIVION," why wouldn't he be? But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story - Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, "Midnight Hammer," Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on! In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian "Leaders" are to deal with, how Canada has "ripped off" the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, "The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup." Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like "What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this," as though I were being serious when I said it.
