covid really was ground zero for this, i think. it didn't start there, but it exploded there.

you can drive blueanon accounts crazy by just planting your feet and saying something like "You hate the left? Kind of seems like a MAGA thing, but ok."

i've been leaning into getting them to block me lately, which is very satisfying.

Aren't you tired of being entirely mentally captive to these people? The inverse of a stupid opinion isn't always a smart one. Sometimes it's just an equally stupid inverted opinion.

except now it's completely automatic! all you have to do show them a republican saying something is bad, and suddenly you'll have good liberals talking about how chemical spills are no big deal. absolute braindead hyperpartisanship.

It kind of reminds me of the way that Penn and Teller's Bullshit! would flatter their audience by showing them a bunch of crazy hippies, assure the viewer that we are all smarter than those guys, and then go on to talk about how second-hand smoke is perfectly harmless.

There's something about the way that people reflexively polarize against this shit that makes me absolutely terrified.

Must be nice to be an industrial polluter or a agribusiness concern and have RFK jr. out there crazywashing environmental illness and food safety.

all headed by a little corporal who loved to sight his own guns.

they're terrible little s-expressions. it's good, actually.

my advisor would probably also add something like "guns aimed france"

france discovered you have to actually be able to aim the big guns and move them around and immediately took over half of europe.

i think this is attested by Diogenes Laertius, who also relates that Heraclitus died of dropsy in a pile of horse shit, attempting to "dry out" his body.

a bike on a road that has been bombed out.

πολυμαθίη νόον ἔχειν οὐ διδάσκει· Ἡσίοδον γὰρ ἂν ἐδίδαξε καὶ Πυθαγόρην αὖτίς τε Ξενοφάνεά τε καὶ Ἑκαταῖον. B40

it's not bad.

so true, damn

Heraclitus's “Much learning does not teach understanding; otherwise it would have taught Hesiod and Pythagoras, and also Xenophanes and Hecataeus” provides important evidence for a culture of dunking in late archaic Ionia.

apl is a very strange language in that if you wanted to write a comment, you had to preface it by a penis glyph.

we are not going back

i appreciate how all-the-fuck over your projects are.

we are blessed by our scorned riches

yeah, i was being like maximally mean here for my own amusement

i think this is right, and I think it will look weird as hell. like apl or something.

it used to be that if you wanted to look at some deeply uncanny computer generated imagery, you had to go look at an aphex twin album cover.

you've been in the bay for five minutes and you're already falling ass backwards into intermittent fasting

not a fan of how our future hinges on a substantial portion of the democratic party having a change of heart on how their job requires actually responding to the grievances of their voters
