@dansup magnifico

the tiktok to rednote mass user migration made me chortle.

due to US fear of CCP totalitarianism the US implemented a totalitarian policy to protect US users from CCP totalitarianism, driving US users toward CCP totalitarianism because they experience CCP totalitarianism as less totalitarian than US totalitatianism.

my favourite part is how the only alternative to totalitatianism was education and these users were like "HARD no".

CCP pure evil but they deserve access to their new subjects.

maybe the real whatsit was the thingies we wossnamed along the watchimacallit.

the problem with books is they require an investment of time, effort, and sustained attention.

the problem with the news is that it doesn't.

the brutal mf means me specifically, I just know it.

I need to lay off the useless attention products and read more actual, factual books.

"it takes huge introspection to learn the 30+ hours spent on the news last month neither had any predictive ability during your activities, nor did it impact your current knowledge of the world. this is similar to our weaknesses in our ability to correct for past errors. like a gym membership taken to satisfy a new years resolution, people often think it will be the next batch of news that will really make a difference to their understanding of things"

@Ruth_Mottram @hart great idea, they should force this through as it is the only viable option for America as it currently has no political prospects at all after Jan. I just hope they don't overpay for it, since its probably not going to be worth much and it is depreciating fast

in his extremely useful book Are Men Animals? anthropologist Matthew Gutmann argues that predatory behaviour by men is in no way inevitable. men behave the way they do because culture permits it, not because biology demands it.

I am on Chapter 1 and I have learned a book's worth of information already. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in doing their part to systematically end mens violence against women.

@ekis then do the podcast and delete the toot. and dont tell us which poddy it is.

science will never be able explain the feeling created by seeing sunshine passing through giant monstera leaves

the oligarchs are literally turning the entire planet into a sweatshop and we would all rather accept life working in extreme temperatures on a financial cliff's edge than simply fire a small copper slug through the skulls of the problem and share resources normally, what the fuck team

@lightweight this hardcore libertarian Regulatory Standards Bill aims to destroy Maori rights, eliminate the treaty of Waitnangi, our constitutional basis, and hand environmental responsibility matters from government to industry by ending government control of environmental policy.

it is being pushed by minority coalition small fry ACT party purely for their own gain, at the cost of everyone.

New Zealanders, you need to press your government to block this shit and punish it too.

@ChrisMayLA6 teach boys agency and consent their entire lives or do not fuckin have them.

if any parent is somehow still getting that simple, natural, and non-negotiable parenting instinct wrong just give me their name and location. I will be happy to reeducate these abusers' arms and legs off.

get it right the first time folks.

I do not know how tf to socialise and I do not care to learn. I am at a steaming, heaving, fruit-smelling(???) bar at the waterfront and instead of shout talking to other red faces I am on the mastodon, why is there so much polo shirt, the shit look unhealthy to me

elon musk continuously burning people to death in his death-traps seems like something you would use prison to stop

@ekis this is very interesting, what a shitty company.

making an enemy of ones host city and minicipality seems like risky business.

be a shame if a certain committee shut the shit down.

@ekis become space saboteur.
