Like... why? They're so insipid and empty as politicians and as public figures, surely the only people who have strong positive feelings about them are the few rich people they're making richer

I keep beating this drum: the kind of people one thinks of as Silicon Valley "techbro" are so often finance people with an engineering cosplay habit, not actual technologists

Elon Musk was famously *never* a good coder and I can't believe he ever scienced a rocket either. But he craves that respect

Jules Lรฉotard posing in a leotard.

166 years ago, on the 12th of November 1859, Jules Lรฉotard performed the first flying trapeze routine. The one-piece garment he invented was named after him. Lรฉotard had passed law exams at age 18 before becoming a professional gymnast and died at age 32, presumably due to smallpox. #otd #history ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The fact that Elon completely snapped because JCO said he's a weird little guy with no human interests is so funny.
It's like if someone posted "Peter Thiel will never serve cunt" and he spent the next week unconvincingly replying "slay" to drag queens

A woman standing in her kitchen. She is taking a photo of herself and her boyfriend who is just a circulatory system. The text reads: It is November 10th now. Your circulatory system boyfriend stands by your pan in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Always stand by your pan.

all my core arguments in one case:

1. the modern far right has international ambitions

2. concessions don't pacify the far right, they embolden it

3. you can't be neutral (as the bbc tried to be)

4. they attack where resistance is weakest

5. right now, that's the uk
