Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Fantasies inside your own head are morally neutral. Sex between consenting parties is morally neutral. Even and especially the gross, weird, freaky stuff. There is not a moral hierarchy to sexual fantasies.

The lives of sex workers keep getting worse while the lives of pedophiles and sexual abusers keep getting easier. Every piece of evidence shows the superstructure loves sexual abuse and hates sexual agency. Destroy it or forever be Protestant.

Enjoy learning about history but when the podcast host and his idiot guest start joking about how it is silly that people were killed over getting TV access in Saudi Arabia in 1975 because "there weren't even any good shows" it is just so unnecessary and so so fucking stupid I have to quit.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Most of today's antiporn nonsense is just warmed over anti-masturbation campaigns. You can tell because none of them ever advocate for masturbating without the allegedly "addictive" nature of porn.
It's old Catholic church dogma for the digital age.

The programming at the Cloisters investigates the past in ways that help us understand the present more than the Met's American Wing does.

At the Cloisters, an exhibition documenting the sexual diversity of the late Middle Ages, when the Church began to enforce its rigid categories of gender. It's an important exhibition during a terrifying moral panic against transgender people. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Very accessible and very engaging. Thinking of "AI" as part of the longer program of eugenics is a very helpful frame for understanding it, what its function is, and how you can think about and react to it.
I loved it and highly recommend reading it if it sounds even remotely up your alley.

As you begin to build your 2026 reading lists (which is a thing I assume some people do), consider adding my really very short book on AI and Eugenics.
Disabling Intelligences:Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI has a lot in under 50k words.
