Authentic Slutty Hot Trans Woman, writer, sex worker, fallen scholar, and current nutcase in the throes of hydrazine-fueled self-destruction.

I also write an enormous amount of erotica, some of which you might have read.

This world is dead from where I watch.

I'm a historian who never was popular with professors and then colleagues but I never have been proved wrong.

Every time I would hear optimism, I would say: Don't look at the leadership; don't look at economic systems.

Look at people's involvement.
You know what?

Fuck all of you.

You really are too stupid to save yourselves. I don't give a shit anymore.

I'm gonna off myself soon anyway and my time is not spent here in any productive way.

Blow it out yours and see you never, fuckfaces.

GenX and their parents voted for Trump.

This strawman stupidity is all everyone needs to understand the great plangent "why?!" behind it

"Expectations of parenting." You want to complain about giving your kids things? Don't have ' em then.

That's the problem with you simpering babies: Mememe.

You're all just stupid.

You're how the world got this way: You grope for simpleminded solutions to complex problems and then invent needless complexity for simple matters.

You're just stupid.

There's no deeper explanation needed. You're too stupid to see reality for what it is.

She always was. Not "now."

She's a daughter of privilege.

This has nothing to do with ideology- all of this is about class, wealth, and control.

People need to stop hallucinating allies among a group that made the world unjust and clearly have a vested interest in perpetuating that injustice.

Is a fraudster!! She is now part of the MAGA cult!
A lot of my mutuals follow Lindy Li. Guess what? She went on Fox to tell them Dems have the stench of losers and is excited about the prosperity Trump will bring. She is MAGA in sheeps clothing.

Centrism is not moderation. Moderation is a normative ideal- to live in sobriety and sanity.

Centrism is the point between two artificial extremes.

Moderation means to take dramatic positions when necessary.

Centrism means to accept the walls are talking but draw the line at it being in Russian.

Why can't all of you just grow the fuck up, set aside your infantile rage as unhelpful, and get around to the business of engaging with people who share your desire to improve the world?

Why do you quarrel with obsessive constancy about minutia when the people who want it worse all act in unison?

There is a natural Third Way.

The problem is the people in it are so fucking intolerable they're as bad as the pinheads, peons, pissants, and poltroons who have made their lives in the image of the other two.

I don't like any of you.

I can't stand any of you.

This life has to be hell.

"Person of the year" doesn't mean endorsement for all the ways TIME always has been a reactionary rag.

My Lord, people need to learn media literacy.

Trump is

well

the most influential person of this year; same as, WHAT A SURPRISE, Hitler kind of was important.

Maybe the lesson in a plutocracy is: Don't listen to plutocrats who have a vested interest in an unjust system's perpetuation. Why are you all so naïve?

"Oh, no, our billionaires and celebrities love us! they're totes not like the Rs' greedheads. They're Just Like Us except they have ten mansions."
Please meet the two faces of Lindi Li—a donor and fundraiser for Kamala Harris.

Never to be trusted or listened to again, and I’ll leave it at that.

Surprise that guardians of a failed and outmoded policy don't like to see this rehashed yet again.

No one ever hears what effect a modernized or larger American nuclear arsenal is supposed to have. No one seems to try past scaremongering about alternatives.

Same for others' wasteful projects.
A war game concludes more US nukes won’t better deter Chinese going nuclear in Taiwan clash. www.csis.org/analysis/con...

Sounds reasonable. And interesting to see nuke advocates and defense hawks questioning methodology/players for not recommending more nukes.

Why were we cursed to have the cliche interesting times turn out so boring?
December 15, 2024 at 1:16 AM
Definitely gone crazy.

Wow.

This is a distressing state in which to find oneself. Lucidity is an unsustainable thing.

Sanity means to take self-control for granted.

It's a childlike infantilizing thing.

Horrible.

Society owes the mad more. Not only because of me but why not me, too?
December 14, 2024 at 11:50 PM
Whatever.

I'll either kill myself or make a grocery list.

If I ever learn to relate to humans I despair of having the interest to interact with them.

To interact with internet randos is to know why civil society has shrunk with such severity.

If democracy is mostly a social experience, their utter banality makes it an ordeal to organize for anything else.

Can't we make it a norm again to be curious and seek difference? Don't be boring. God.

In Bret's defense, he's always been a meretricious toad whose religion is to exalt the wealthy and comfortable.

To get outraged about this is about equivalent to wrath over an article where Tom Friedman pimps genocide.

Morally repugnant? Sure. But why get upset when a monkey throws its shit?
It's not about celebrating murder. It's not about the absence of societal decency or morality.

It's about loss of faith.

People are losing faith in the rule of law. In its ability to hold the rich and powerful accountable.

Keep gaslighting them at your own peril.

At least subsidize his art supplies, if not buy him a studio.

"...U.S. is working very hard...to make sure there is no resurgence of ISIS"

How could this track with Biden promoting HTS and the Assad government's collapse?

ISIS' return is near-destined from the same calamity that spawned it the last time. Iraqi and Syrian Sunnis are no less miserable.
Quick reminder that the GEC was initially stood up to counter ISIS and other non-state actor propaganda and the U.S. is working very hard at this moment to make sure there is no resurgence of ISIS. 1/

Wow.

Nearly everyone is stupid.

It's a willful and volitional thing. It's the voluntary collapse of literacy skills and the capacity to sort, interpret, analyze, and react to information.

It's the total demise of critical thought and in its place a kind of autopilot with ideological color.
December 12, 2024 at 4:58 PM
That's a horrid false equivalency.

Mangione shot a white collar supervillain protected by a corrupt system.

Rittenhouse is an 'eighties horror film with the Pillsbury Doughboy as a fascist Reagan vigilante.

One did what the state should have

the other went out to kill people he disagreed with.
To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.
December 12, 2024 at 4:42 PM
Wow.

No foolin'.

Of a $60 billion budget. Of which how much is spent on cops, prisons, and corporate welfare?

Like always: Just go away, Tim. You and your fellows are why Americans shrugged and chose exit this time instead of what feels like delusion.
ICYMI: We directed $11 million to support food shelves and fight housing insecurity.

All Minnesotans deserve a warm home and full table this holiday season.

You know, you show a gruesome degree of privilege and isolation from society's problems when you wish ill on others for partisan reasons.

We all have every reason to hope and pray Trump and his acolytes grow up and just say: Yeah, let's make the country better. It's just delusion to count on this.
