i'm not saying that evo psych was designed from the ground up to be a pseudo-scientific ideology that appeals to rich rapists, but if you *were* to do that for some reason ($$$$) the thing you'd end up with is just evo psych

if you are trying to "cure autism" i think you should be killed, full stop

smokey will judge who is worthy to drink from the bowl

newsom did the whole "your brain doesn't develop til 25" thing to sell his transphobia

and it's just a lie, it's a dumb lie, "fully formed" is simply not a coherent concept here

it's so rage-inducing how people will deploy shit like this — just utter drivel that can't stand up to a second of actual human thought and sincere examination — to justify fucking child abuse, man

and, let's get this straight:

one of the things that trans people are fighting for is, explicitly, the right to decide *how* you are "formed" *while* you are still being "formed"

to have a say in what happens to you *in the moment* rather than suffering at someone else's whim for several decades before you cross some arbitrary line

a foundational human right

you will be talking to someone and then they will bring up their favorite way to do racism or child abuse or whatever, and the things they say will just be comically, violently gormless

you will feel yourself taking rpg-style psychic damage from the way they just visibly *turn off their brain* in order to justify being a grubby little parasite who victimizes others

we are all the children of Anti-Omelas, where
everything sucks for everyone except a small cabal of idiot rapists, but society would collapse if you got rid of them and no one is allowed to leave

look around at the unhinged shit office-holding Dems have said about a single left-wing muslim running for city office this week

do you still believe their support for israel's genocide was a matter of shrewd political calculus and not unrelenting worm-brained bigotry?

i am 40 or 40 years old today and i do not need this

"[slotkin] wants dems to ditch wokeness and muscle up"

lmao, THIS is what "wokeness" looks like, it's 1,000,000x stronger and more courageous than any politician putting on their dumb little american flag pin to sign some cop paychecks ever will be

galling thing about the entire history of computing in the 21st century is that we're constantly scaling up computational resources and data without all that much to really show for it

in many ways there's really nothing *to* compute, just a bullshit machine for people who don't like to type "wikipedia" into their address bars

hyperscale gigawatt blah blah devoted to either streaming a video or tracking you relentlessly in ways that, at this point, honestly seem more *compulsive* and *dictatorial* than profit-driven per se

wow, he really half-assed that papacy

perfect moment for unhinged dumbass america to do the funniest thing ever (declare an antipope)

Ain't no rule a dog can't build a Doohickey to assassinate a former prime minister

any time someone says "why don't the democrats just abandon trans people," what they're actually advocating for is starmer labour — a complete and total right-wing coup within the left-wing party, to really lock in the ratchet where every single administration is more right-wing than the last

a lockstep bipartisan consensus march into authoritarianism, austerity, and social murder

every 20 minutes there is a headline that makes me turn to my wife and say "all of these people deserve death and hell," while the average american just sorta stumbles their way through the day thinking "i wonder if president business is gonna solve the egg prices"

@PallasRiot
our modern "warrior class" has its own rituals and mythology and they're all basically just racism

on an almost klan-like level

@owen
there's also the crisis scenario of jobs (paid labor) disappearing while lots and lots of work that nobody (or, rather, nobody with money) wants to pay for remains to be done

@owen
like, i am increasingly terrified of the world where our collective unpaid, unmet needs keep creeping up higher and higher, but all the oligarchs see is an ocean of "surplus" humanity to be disposed of once they've wrung out all the blood
