Given how cool most of us have been with Luigi I'm really becoming more and more convinced that if we could all just agree to be cool with about 100-150 more similar things, the cool zone would be ours

On top of it all it’s pretty fucking terrible messaging to be like “yeah I guess all of you normal people have to freak out all weekend but luckily we cut a deal to get those nominees through so our Saturday looks pretty cool”

it's so fun and sexy that this guy literally did this last time he was president and the Democrats chose to do nothing and now he's doing it again but it's our fault for not voting for Democrats hard enough after they did nothing

Tired? Stressed? Wondering if you will still have a paying job and dissertation research to do next week? Spend two hours making lunch, you will not regret it

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now
"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

When I was born I automatically said my first sentence right after I arrived. I said “what’s happening please”. And they could already tell that I was VERY nervous. Possibly a threat

everyone working at the nytimes is my enemy. every person working at the times has the blood of trans children on their hands based on what is happening now.
If he sent people to harass people, then yes I agree he should be banned. But I also don’t think that every person working at a bad institution is bad, and I don’t think he’s our enemy

The thing that gets me about AI is if you want to get an answer to something that is sometimes right and sometimes bizarre or simply disastrously wrong, you can just ask me. That’s how I answer questions

The bloated US F-35 costs $80 million per plane and $36,000 per fight-hour. A trained Arabian hunting falcon requires only a place to roost and one hare daily. One self-guided smart falcon can jam a jet engine. Two can crack a cockpit canopy. Three can devour a downed pilot. fact

The nice thing about all these wonk guys going full mask off is the pretense of them actually being smart has been dropped and we can now clearly see them for the resentful little creeps they have always been
I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.

There’s a particularly evil strain of liberal/progressivism that is rooting for things to get worse in Gaza simply so they can do an “I told you so.” At any point in time Biden could’ve actually flexed US muscle and said knock it the fuck off but he just kept adding fuel to the fire. Own it.
