I enjoy spreadsheets a normal amount. Any pronouns are fine; you cannot misgender me in a way that matters.
Every once in a while I think about how cool it is that when I was 19 I got shipped off to South America to be extremely Mormon and extremely offline for two years and only like three or four of my pre-19 friendships survived the communications blackout.

Getting in arguments online actively makes me a worse person and I really wish I’d stop doing it.

This is exactly the kind of open, disgusted contempt for Trump that I want to see from my elected leadership.
You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

not really the point of op, but love to see people start using the language of sin and purity to talk about ai. definitely bringing back a lot of warm and fuzzy memories of my healthiest childhood experiences.

This is exactly what I mean when I say politicians need to understand when and how to perform anger. Will anger fix things? No. But right now, failure to be visibly angry undermines public trust.
I’m an American and I hate all of this evil shit. All of it. Fuck you if you don’t.

Worth noting that when I say this, I mean “American” as in “United States of America,” but also “American” as in “North and South America.”
The greatest and most distinctly American thing about this country is the proposition that anyone can come here and become just as American as you or me.
Defending that proposition is patriotism.
Dying for that proposition is martyrdom.

More of my friends from high school ended up in Minneapolis than anywhere else in the world, with the *possible* exception of my hometown.
This could have been any one of them.

Two separate but related realizations I had the other day:
1. I post like this mostly because I think it’s funny, but partly because I feel like it’s the only appropriate way to complain about the entirely foreseeable and avoidable consequences of my own actions.

me: why does existence feel so shitty and aimless today?

Weird new experience. My partner has been watching X Files episodes nonstop for the last few evenings. Now, lying in bed but not quite falling asleep, I have Fox Mulder’s voice in my head saying word-shaped syllables.

It’s hard to see this and not feel at least a bit of despair.
the tactical success here - that they went in and got him and no troops died - is going to dramatically raise the bar on the shit they think they can get away with at home and abroad and that terrifies me

even more convinced of this after the press conference today.
yes, oil, etc., but my admittedly vibes-based impression is that this is at least as much a cold war regime change throwback. like I don't think it's at all coincidental that this is happening under a cuban-american secretary of state.

"arrested to stand trial on criminal charges" FOR WHAT?
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was arrested to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States and no further military action is expected, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Senator Mike Lee.
