Know that if anyone has ever reached out to you claiming to be someone who's worried about my mental health- they probably were part of why it was so bad, are afraid bc I know more about them than they know about me, and are using confirmation bias to preemptively instill doubt.

Dividing work by who already knows how to do it sounds great, but things come up all the time that no one knows how to do. The person who is always willing to learn something new ends up with a lot of jobs and a whole ton of expectations, but also a utility that leaves with them.

I kind of feel like it's time to draw a line in the sand around values and make people put up or shut up. For decades the left has been pussy-footing and molly-coddling conservatives and look what they've become.

I think we need a full accounting of which of the tech executives think Roko’s Basilisk is real I really think we deserve full transparency on which of them genuinely think they’re building a computer god who will punish them if it’s not built.

Inspired: "Society needs as many fuckin ska bands and fans as possible. I mean a really, truly saturated market. A ska band in every neighborhood. Hell, one in every building. Now's the time."

The day I realized that some people feel the same way about social rules as they did the rules in elementary school (do what you want but don't get caught, people who stand out deserve to be picked on, rigid hierarchy with objective winners and losers), I changed forever

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor.
This is grotesque fear-mongering.

Just a heads up, doing that thing in that way is known to sometimes have terrible consequences
"Well it's how I've always done it and that never happened to me"
That's true, generally things don't happen until they happen. But happening tends to be difficult to make unhappen, so

i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

This lineup is so depressingly bad that I'm starting to wonder if there's some sort of "Major League" plot here where they're actively trying to depress their viewer numbers.

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

Just passed a building labeled "Maintenanc Center", missing an E. The center for maintenance, unable to maintain its sign? Felt so American that I almost took a picture, caption already forming in my mind, but instead I gave myself a wedgie and stuffed myself in a locker

An ICE agent in Minneapolis pinned a pregnant woman’s face into the snow and knelt on her body.
She was also dragged across the pavement by her wrist.

Can you hear the fifth wave of ska? It's approaching, coming fast on the horizon. By the time it arrives, it'll be too late for introspection, but there's still time. Will you defend humanity? Or will you.... become the machine? #skapunk
