being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)
Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

post like you're gonna hear it read back to you in a strange stilted cadence by a federal prosecutor with no sense of humor.
This is your recurring reminder that you shouldn’t say stuff on public social media that would look really bad if security forces printed it out and knocked on your door to discuss it at midnight.
If you believe, as I do, that we are entering very dangerous times, please start acting accordingly.

Just listened to an episode of Behind the Bastards with @iwriteok.bsky.social and @socialistdogmom.bsky.social cohosting, and y’all HAVE to do that more often. The energy was unmatched, you two (and Sophie) clowning on some weirdo is all I want in a podcast

It's important to me that all of you know that Mike Flanagan is the best horror director in my lifetime, the best adapter of Stephen King EVER (including King himself) and this is not all of his work.
Also Midnight Mass is a masterpiece

Out of nowhere Tidal served me a song from the Bolt soundtrack in my daily discovery playlist. And three things:
I Thought I Lost You is a duet with Miley Cyrus and John Travolta 😩
"Where Were You on St. Rhino's Day" 😗👌
"New York" starting w/ a Rhapsody in Blue clarinet slide made me very happy

There is nothing more radicalizing to me than the phrase "cost of living"
I hate living in a world where I live in constant anxiety on if I can pay my bills enough to survive.

My wife is currently listening to an episode of Behind the Bastards while we eat dinner.
I am listening to a DIFFERENT episode of Behind the Bastards in my headphones.

The US just vetoed *another* UN Security Council resolution. It demanded "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" & "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."
14 voted in favor.
1—the US—opposed.
This is the 4th UNSC ceasefire resolution US has vetoed.
