Ross Douthat column "What the Movies Need From Sydney Sweeney"

What the World Needs Ross Douthat to Not Write.

Feels a bit like the 19th century, when men with middle class jobs had to learn to write like a clerk, while gentlemen were expected to have unreadable handwriting.

he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.

Star Sword Nemesis by Love Conquers All Games mecha betrayal girls love in distant space

In the year Earth Century 225, in the middle of this conflict, are two women: Eris, an airheaded true believer in love and harmony, and Comet Halley, a jaded ex-revolutionary now forced to work for her enemies. Will idealism prevail, or will humanity's future in space be decided by betrayal?

As a frequent user of the ponds, it disgusts me that terfs are taking a beautiful place and pouring their hate into it. Please fill in this survey if you want to protect this space for all women and make trans women feel. PS the ducks think terfs suck. And the friendly fox. And the crows.

Are you using an LLM for anything important? (Like, life advice?) One weird prompt to start using immediately

as we're talking about this, here's a thing I wrote about a harm-reduction approach to using an LLM for therapy/companionship. since Harvard Business Review says that in 2025 the NUMBER ONE USE for LLMs is 'therapy.

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

I mean, that one is easy. This is something that I talked about in the aftermath of Brian Thompson’s murder as well, allegedly at the hands of Luigi Mangione. It’s seen as a pressure valve for people. Democracy is supposed to be a pressure valve. So when the democratic institutions are not working to meet the demands of the overall population, there’s a lot of discontent. And then I think people find themselves in the throes of desperation, find themselves so angry that they can’t deal with it, that they end up engaging in adventurism, decentralized violence such as this. And I think that’s where these instances of political violence and instability come from.

I don’t think he was ever debating for the purpose of finding the truth or from a position of intellectual curiosity. I think a lot of people say that. Debates are only productive in the sense that it can test your opinions against your interlocutors’ opinions, and it’s good, it’s galvanizing. I’ve always said that 40 percent of the audience on either side have already made up their minds, and they’re not going to change. But then there’s a 20 percent in the margins that could swing in either direction. And it’s for that 20 percent in the middle, that you entertain the intellectual sparring. For Charlie, I think the format was more so to just humiliate his ideological opponents. And he was very successful at doing propaganda of this sort, by going to college campuses and listening to what people had to say, and then giving them the right-wing talking points on the matter. Getting a couple dunks in the process. That’s a big part of the debate culture.

Remarkably cogent and on-point thoughts from Hasan Piker especially given that he's in the midst of an even larger barrage of murder threats than usual.

In other words, when Kentucky police say they found an "infant" in a college student's closet, they could very well mean they're investigating her miscarriage remains.

Just like I warned.

How did I know? Because it KEEPS HAPPENING THAT WAY

Sorry, hope you have a speedy recovery!

Ugh! Missed your original posts about it. Sorry you missed out on it.

Absolutely yes! But also given the context it seems particularly strange!
