gonna make a little thread of threads of my threads on understanding/surviving the current sociopolitical moment so that people can just 📌 one thing if they want a place to reread all of these
(I’ve been told they’re useful, scroll past with no ill will if not to you!)

imo this is very much because our culture has decided that Humanities is For Girls and Thus Pathetically Easy Bullshit whereas STEM is For Cool Boys With Huge Dicks
i've mostly experienced it as the even worse version where everyone already innately can Do Humanities just as well as the pros, but math/sciences is difficult and requires a lot of natural talent AND learning to be able to understand it.

Trump on 2028: "They say I'm not allowed to run. I don't know what the hell that's all about. He said, 'Four more years.' You see the new hat? We have four more years -- 2028."

this really didn’t have that much to do with computers themselves IMO - it could have happened in an earlier age with an exotic new type of poem, or whatever - but does demonstrate why it’s bad for democracy to let elite priesthoods come into being

1000%. we made the mistake of letting men who are Good At Computer think of themselves (ourselves, who am I kidding) as some kind of elite priesthood—with a chip on our shoulder for having been bullied for being nerds!—when in fact being good at computer isn't even hard.

this is accurate and is why people have such a hard time noticing what would be incredibly obvious FTD symptoms in a person who had ever been behaviorally typical
I would do unspeakable things to get his brain donated to science, with a promise to release their raw data, when he goes

This is the thing with Trump, I honestly believe he experiences visceral emotional associations (especially disgust) with concepts, but has very little mental or even emotional engagement beyond that.
Reptilian not in the conspiratorial sense, but the old triune brain theory sense of the word

condemning him is one thing but i’m more just recognizing how truly bizarre his psychology is. not even normal among narcissists or whatever. an aberrantly reptilian point of view. some of the stuff he seems to flout it seems like he actually truly doesn’t ‘get’

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

good thread parsing how what’s presented as “wow these people are clueless” is actually “these people are trying to get you to react to their holocaust joke”
don’t watch this shit, the surprise is “we’re going to Auschwitz” inside the cake, but I’m quoting to make a point: Bytedance makes apps that are used for monetized ragebait, that’s their thing, the Chinese predecessor to TikTok was full of people eating live crabs and free climbing skyscrapers

it’s really unkind to bring up holiday shopping to a man who recently couldn’t get his son-in-law the Warner Brothers corporation he wanted
“So right now, people are buying their holiday presents, they’re planning for—” Politico’s Dasha Burns began in a cheery tone, before Trump cut her off.
“Look, don’t be dramatic,” Trump said abruptly, as if Burns had insulted him. trib.al/GkdxBEw

Dropping your kid off at day care, going to the doctor, or attending classes should not be a life-altering task.
We will counter the Trump Administration's depravity.

"I consider 35-year-olds the most interesting protagonists" is in the Bluesky Terms of Service
Used Our Town in Woodworking because it is the platonic ideal of a play about being 35, and I consider 35-year-olds the most interesting protagonists.
Same thing for "Our Town." Don't make 14 year olds do that play, have a bunch of 35 year olds read that play

the punishment for confining a wild apex predator in your home should be one night under deep sedation in the home with the apex predator
just watched a few dozen videos from the TikTok account of the people who own a caracal cat which very clearly should not be a pet and wants to kill them (every video is like this)
