I find the “woke 1 was crazy” thing is pretty distasteful. We watched George Floyd get murdered on video, as he screamed and cried for his mother. The politics that came in response to that was an honest way of trying to combat the institutions that produced that outcome.

ideology works best when it stops feeling ideological. nobody thinks they’re repeating imperial assumptions. they’re just being “pragmatic,” “serious,” “realistic.”

once power convinces you its constraints are reality itself, you start enforcing them for free.

na man I just hate talking about politics. it has nothing to do with the fact I have extremely embarassing and nonsensical core beliefs that are easily undressed

I feel like I’ve been watching the government try to murder the population of New Orleans my entire life.

America is a beautiful melting pot of monarchist Iranians, Shen Yun Chinese, Orange County Vietnamese, White Russians, Cuban gusanos, Miami Venezuelans, Afrikaners, Eduardo Bolsonaro. A rainbow of people who had their servants taken away.

It's a little bit appalling how many people think Hank Green is esp smart and not just like... a rich, white capitalist with more resources and visibility than most people. Like he is a white man with glasses and a standard American accent who likes to confidently say things.

your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

When everyone thinks you are senile, a good strategy is to invoke your hatred of windmills, as there are no famous literary parallels to this

I'm a prison abolitionist for lots of reasons. One is that I find it unacceptably cruel as a form of social organization to lock people in cages and tell them they'll be beaten or killed if they try to get out.

One thing Nolan's Odyssey does very well (unironically) is how it portrays liberal anxieties regarding the decline of the rules-based international order as a consequence of the Global War on Terror

i love declining cookies. i love telling TSA agents i do not consent to having my photo taken. i love pretending i have any agency over the countless tiny ways i am surveilled every single moment of every single day

Yes mum, I didn't do the dishes like I promised. But by promising to do the dishes, I helped create the discursive conditions through which the dishes could get done

Incredibly funny how the authors of this ended up condemning Hamas lmao

women get about the same amount of degrees in history as men & dominate anthropology degrees. genders read history as a hobby at similar rates. while the types of history books read are slightly different. men think they're history buffs & women aren't is bc men are just louder
