I relate to the second part a lot, and it goes the other way too – I spent a lot of my early 20s finding out that people I thought I agreed with did *not* want the things wanted at all

Ok but like, who’s promising them that? porn?do people actually think porn is real? I’m so confused Like this is symptomatic of the whole wider issue I’m having right now, where I’ve spent my whole life building mental models of what assholes are like but they’re all smarter than the real assholes

“Our parents had it so much easier,their parents engaged in rational conversation on online platforms like Twitter and Bluesky and made long video essays, and society just kinda worked. You know Donald Trump once sent people $1200? You’d never see that from President MrBeast, supposed lib”

I grew up when movies like Ace Ventura were considered hilarious by everyone, I’m not shocked to find out an entertainer or writer is prejudiced but the degree to which in the UK in particular *obsession* w transgender people has taken off is so weird to me. trans people care less about us than JKR

FdB is in a cycle of audience capture that I suspect he has enough self-awareness left to hate. Either it will kill him or he will keep getting worse I haven't read today's thing, just a general observation

I said a while back that this place reminds me of pre-exodus tumblr and pre-musk Twitter simultaneously, and Im starting to remember the dark side of both those things.

it feels like a somewhat unpopular view these days but integration is an unalloyed good and should be pursued as vigorously as possible

5 years ago, when I was on the D15 Community Education Council (Park Slope to Sunset Park to Red Hook), we helped pass a historic diversity plan to change admissions procedure at the district's middle schools. We were told that we would chase families out of the system. Our critics were wrong.

What Happened When Brooklyn Tried to Integrate Its Middle Schoolswww.nytimes.com A new report found that many schools enrolled more racially and socioeconomically diverse groups of students without sparking a major exodus of families from public schools.

The Fig Economy

I think it's simultaneously true that social media has a lot of harms and also that it's a lifeline for socially isolated people, and that people who are likely to be socially dysfunctional are more likely to spend more time on it. It really is a mixed bag.

‘blacking out at party city’ sounds like a father john misty song

Well in the last hour I’ve survived a blackout at a Party City and driven thru a dust devil AND taken four children who expected to get picked up from camp half an hour earlier to Sonic so please clap.

One of the drums I bang on repeatedly is that the reason people (myself included) loved Firefly is that it got one very short season and one movie. And based on every piece of information about what "more" would have looked like... oh, yeah, no one would have any fondness left for the series.

remember when internet meme culture discovered the idea of metafiction and for a while like the absolute edgiest thing you could do was be like "and then the CONCEPT OF FICTION came OUT OF THE TV AND ATE HIM" and now there's a third Deadpool movie coming out from Disney

These guys are like a battleship with a fucked rudder and fire in the superstructure; they're dangerous, but nobody on the ship knows what the fuck is going on and the only thing they can do is keep turnin' right.

Put another way – are you interested in antiquity under and the Middle Ages because you want to escape the century of the world wars & the holocaust or are you interested in them because you think some people should be slaves to others

Thiel is a Straussian too iirc, and while Strauss is a much more ambiguous figure, he’s another guy whose reactionary tendencies were clearly the product of living in the nightmare that was Europe in the 20th century who has a whole cult of sinister nerds

he said "abominable cultus" about his fandom in an angry moment in his life, surely his words for Thiel would be so much stronger
