Back on this vibe for 2025, although without my best friend by my side. Miss you every day, Spooky.
Members of congress had said MTG acted and spoke like a normal, rational human when there were no cameras around, well before her current 'enlightenment'. She's competent, manipulative, and in no way should be welcomed into 'the tent'. She can fight with trump on her own.

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

I do want to note Mamdani's transition specifically calling attention to like, people applying for city jobs and how many CVs they got in the mail, etc, because when was the last time you saw a politician actually talk about expanding state capacity other than hiring more cops?

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

It is positively dumbfounding to me that literally ANYONE still has Alexa in their homes, neverminded that they're lining up to buy literal surveillance sunglasses
Every new piece of technology seems designed to invade what little privacy I have left so my life can be sold to private businesses and the surveillance state while also demanding a monthly payment.

It is very funny that many op-eds were written about this considering Frankenstein was always the true monster of the story but even funnier that in the movie like 5 people directly look at Dr Frankenstein and say “you da monster” and oped writers were like “funny thing I noticed in this film…”

The historical lesson of Nazism is to destroy Nazis before they get control of the government. We should actually follow the lesson, but we are not.

Epstein was convicted in 2008.
This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power.
There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.
Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
