this is a good and thoughtful piece, and read does a good job *explaining* a bunch of hopelessly nihilistic extremely-online behaviors without requiring that you dip your whole brain into online brain poison to understand it.

I am as explicitly as possible laying down a date-stamped marker that a federal immigration agent is going to die violently within the next calendar year, and that this will retroactively be used to justify policy. I am saying it here so I can angrily quote this at media figures when it happens.

Libertarianism exists to create a permission structure to know all of the local age of consent laws, justify rank racism, and do tax avoidance
And as there's no minors to fuck, Black people to malign, or taxes to avoid...its just not their beat to walk, so they are awkward, like a newly born fawn

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

I was an International Relations undergrad, I feel the siren song of trying to put the Maduro debacle into some sort, any sort, of framework that makes sense.

I've got Metroid Dread this week.
The game? no, have it, beat it, still playing Pokemon. But I am nervous about whether Prime 4 is going to live up or not.

What Me Too was and what (the non-QAnon parts of) the Epstein furor is about, is taking the privileges of sex abuse away from the powerful. I don't know if this guy is a sex pest or worse himself, but he senses that threat on some level.

A thoughtful tactic if you run into any uniformed feds at No Kings this Friday: mock them for the fact that they're doing this without pay. If I were on the other end I'd be furious over that fact.

Both he and Musk have fried themselves completely on club drugs and are far too egotistical and surrounded by sycophants to even be self aware of it. I have friends who followed this exact arc and none were rich by their mid 20s so they all are dead or live their parents.
