tldr: fuck em

I have come to deeply resent the expectation that we lie about a person's shameful life just because they are dead. My goal is live a life where nobody will have to lie about who I was when I'm gone. I know I will do that, and I know any of you who are reading this will do that too

The kind of lies being told about who he was have to be maintained. He chose to live his life as an antagonist, a prop, a mouthpiece for others. He remains one even after death. But he won't be remembered fondly by those who used him. He leaves no lasting effect, no personal legacy.

Kirk doesn't get to live on like this. He's been dead for just over a day and he already exists primarily as a lie.

I think its a dead end to try and think about what evil cruel individuals "deserve". I don't think there's any justice involved here. But I take some solace in that.

they won't write books about me, but the people who knew me will go on to have effect on others, and so on, and so on. just like our physical bodies end up dispersed far and wide into the earth, the impact of our spirit ends up dispersed far and wide into humanity in ways we can't predict

not believing in any sort of afterlife can make the thought of death feel very cold, knowing faith will not be there to comfort me. so all I will have is the people who live on past me, who I taught something, or picked up their spirits in a time of need or otherwise made their lives more rich

an extremely powerful example of this is Nicholas Winton, who evacuated over 600 jewish children from Czechoslovakia before ww2, and would later end up on television surprised by a studio audience consisting entirely of those he rescued or their descendants. he lives on in all of them

my grandmothers influence on my mother is obvious, and my mothers influence on me is more obvious. but it neednt be familial. anyone whose life leads to others living their lives more righteously and happily lives on in the good deeds of those who they inspired, and so on

it is an h connected to another h by a single arrow, from a math concept where that arrow represents that if one thing is true, the other thing will also be true. the choice of h was arbitrary but the first h symbolizes a life well lived, and the second h symbolizes lives improved by the first life.

when my grandmother passed, my dad told me that he believed heaven means to live on in the fond memories of those left behind. this stuck with me, and I ended up getting a tattoo on my chest that symbolizes this in a format that makes sense to my materialist, atheist self.

they say people die twice, and his second death will be a mercy because all of the last people who remember him will despise him. he will not live on through deeds or words. they are already being forgotten because to utter them would be to destroy his usefulness.

anyway its gonna be so funny when this all turns out to be some far-right psychopath accelerationist who shot him and this passes into poorly recalled memory

the funny thing is that the ones who will actually remember him are us: the left. the right will forget him once he stops being useful

everyone wants to seem serious but has no idea how to actually be serious. read a fucking book. remember things that happened more than 2 weeks ago. be able to look at the keys jangled in your face and say "this doesn't matter to me or to what im trying to achieve in my life"

the president is sending the military to occupy cities literally for fun and to distract everyone from the fact he was friends with the ages most notorious pedophile and people are like oh no they are going to use this to justify so many bad things. are you kidding me. get your head out of your ass

theres just so many people who im supposed to believe are smart saying things that are so fucking stupid

makes me wonder that everyone i have talked to via a normal conversation in the last 2 days bar one dipshit coworker has been more or less clear eyed about The Incident while every person whose opinion i am forced to see by The Media has invented the good little church boy with the big head

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

As a podcaster I think it’s important that the entire country ignore all of the offensive things I’ve ever said and senators tell people how important I was when I eventually get killed. Podcasting is the third most important job. It goes:
3. Podcasters
2. Our beautiful boys in blue
1. Troop

the first account, by the way, is from tom hayden who went through the rest of his life remembering that one Goldwater volunteer who started spontaneously cheering upon hearing JFK’s head had been blown off

HitlerSuckfest1488: "This has radicalized me."

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

what can i say, i love the dinosaur cars

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

4 years later I sit here watching an immigrant woman struggle mightily to earn the privilege of being underpaid to wipe your racist grandpa's ass

for a living I used to give away life saving vaccines free of charge in a community center gymnasium and it was so easy. none of this has to be hard

nothing like sitting in the Walgreens listening to a healthcare worker try to get job required vaccines while not having insurance to make you hate the united states of america
