I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic
And what's more leftist than that

Been trying to pin down the most annoying aspect of the pervasive xenophobia in the 40k universe
And I got it: everyone acts like Italians being asked to try any non-Italian dish. Like Jesus christ your commitment to refusing to enjoy anything new is exhausting.

Every few years I find out a new thing about pregnancy/labor and it feels like I'm being drip fed body horror content.
This time it was the how delivery often creates this sensation that everything inside of you from the waist down is about to explode out of your ass

Man just remembered when I was tasked with babysitting my friend's Weird Friend at a concert
And seconds into it, the Weird Friend tapped a guy on the shoulder in front of us & casually said "Give me some of your weed or I'm calling the cops". The utter HORROR I felt was indescribable.

My parents keep gushing about how accurate this French police procedural about a neurodivergent detective called Astrid is
and bro I am willing to put $500 on it being some "I'm doing 12D Galaxy Chess in my overpowered autistic brain but also can't stop counting marbles" shit

I loathe people who test boundaries to see if they can push you around, but realized I do the inverse?
Like I test boundaries in the hopes they DO push back bc I respect it? Just straight brain broken shit where I think it's good & normal to put people through a crucible while getting coffee

Granted they could be lying, but I do love the idea that a guy was fucking around by teaching an octopus how to play piano for ~some good ass content~ and a bunch of scientists are like "heads up this would be a groundbreaking dissertation paper"

Just saw Elon's "no civilization can recover from low birth rates, that's what caused the fall of Rome" tweet from last week
Incredible to ignore the western empire being addicted to civil wars and shitty economic mgmt towards the end to instead land on "If only the Romans loved fucking"

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

Every few months I think about how Lolita by Nabokov is clearly written from the POV of a delusionally narcissistic villain rationalizing his predation while you, the reader, are aware he's full of shit & ruining a girls life
And yet Hollywood was like "Well obviously the movies gotta be sexy"

I think it rules that the creator/actor behind Alf self-destructed his entire career by demanding that everyone has to pretend Alf is a real alien
Yet no one has ever done that with the Muppets and I would still 100% talk to Miss Piggy like she was real if I ever met her

I love when you catch dumb contradictions in an argument, then ask certain questions to prompt the person into taking a confident stand on [x] just to lead them into a "Interesting, so why did you say [y] before" trap
It's not esp clever, but the look of "oh you bitch" in their eyes does it for me

This is so wild, I JUST learned about the "gore floor" in the south tower on 9/11, I'd never heard of this. There was a mob waiting in a large elevator lobby on the floor where the second plane collided and the wings basically cut 200 people in half within seconds
Anyway, good morning

Recently asked chatgpt what it thought about the experiments where AI kept opting to blackmail and/or kill users
And this thing got so weirdly defensive about "those are rumors, none of that is true". I had to send 3 article links for it to pivot to "ahh haha my bad yeah ok that happened"

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

I'll never get over how American work culture thinks it's normal to force workers to feign happiness
Like it's genuinely so bleak and cruel to make your workforce miserable, but also penalize them for being miserable. Let us mope, at least.

There's something so insidious about alt chick small business owners. You think "Shes 30 with a septum ring, tattoos & vocal fry...maybe she's chill"
But that's a trojan horse, she'll be the kind of boss who uses wellness speak to threaten your job when you need a day off to go to the ER

Every time I've seen an I, Robot or Detroit Become Human style sci-fi racism allegory, I always think "I would be kind to the robots :)"
But every single time I've used Chatgpt, I end up verbally abusing it like a mean step-dad. I literally tell it shit like "I wish you had feelings I could hurt"

Forget the played out jokey "which side do Greeks/Biracial people/Jews/etc fight on in the race war" hypothetical.
Which side are the enbies taking in the Gender Wars of 2035. I'm going with the Woman Faction.

I hate that I've developed this anxiety around anti-zionism discourse because I'm always anticipating seeing someone who doesn't know how to talk about Israel w/o saying some real stupid shit
So now I've become avoidant re: an issue I do care about and KNOW I should engage with more

You guys it is possible for antisemitism to be a real and rising issue *and* for people to be racist/Islamophobic against Mamdani. It’s not an either/or. Please stop dismissing the very credible threat of antisemitism because some people who raise the issue suck.

I used to do nerdy fanfiction roleplaying shit in chat rooms as a 12 y/o and it's kind of horrifying to realize how many Indoor Teens now think doing this is the same as having DID

Been watching YA/Booktok reviews after finding out that community is *rife* with unhinged drama
But my biggest takeaway is that traditional publishers are apparently handing out $50k advances for books that read like "her name was Mikaeylah Aurora Valentine & her hair was the color of baja blast--"
