YouTube video by Adin Clips Adin Ross SUPRISES Donald Trump with Custom Cyber Truck

thinking about the video of trump getting a cybertruck from a twitch streamer wherein the grinch can clearly be seen at 40 seconds in

Look: Krampus and St Nicholas are friends. Americans have this idea that Krampus is "the bad guy" but it is not so: Krampus is there to support the mission; he is the sidekick. That is why he wears chains in the traditional iconography: this indicates his subordination to the power of the saint/God.

probably have to change everything about my life this year

that cis women do also face decisions like ours about how to be a woman, whether they are womanly enough — that defection from these norms isn't a privilege reserved to women who aren't transitioning, and may be desirable in themselves

accordingly, it's not trivial to say that there is no "woman's" gait or voice, even if there are manners of cultivating these qualities which will reliably pass or invoke a certain average womanhood

I don't think it's helpful to conflate the process of passing for cis with the subjective realization of one's desired presentation, even if these are already mixed up in the minds of girls who feel they're failing to achieve either

i think this is an unimaginative and barbed reading of social transition, and the essentialism at work here — even if invoked provocatively as a counter to 'medical' essentialisms — is not inconsequential

it would make a great story!! I think about this even in terms of like, the practice of folk music as this communal tradition vs buying records. this pattern of things getting frozen and isolated is everywhere and feels very depressing

I mean it as shorthand for GenAI, in terms of the way people delegate these tasks — which many feel are inherently human or even spiritual — to their commercial devices

I responded too quickly — I do believe this is an important difference

I'm being sloppy here — in terms of using a word processor or text communication i don't think there's much of a difference. but I'm saying 'using the computer' as shorthand for delegating these tasks to GenAI, in order to say that the real world alternatives are already shoddy and not delivering

from this standpoint it's barely consequential whether people type out their own formalized and fake opinions or let the machine do it

the fact that people use the computer for therapy, artistic practice, socialization and even their own thought only indicates that our society has already hollowed these activities out past the point of recognition

I share with marx my determination to live like a bourgeois no matter the cost

I hate being lower middle class

girls teaching me about baseball: bunky medunkus is the only pitcher to ever eat a whole bilbo plate on the mound before the dugout mutts could bite his belly. despite this feat, the mariners traded him for an old whalebone

rushes at the cafe sucked for other reasons but there was a kind of blissful 'thinking in motion' when you found yourself pouring the shot for one drink and steaming another

I've always resisted getting a gym membership or even consciously Working Out but it seems unavoidable in the next year if I want to feel alive

articulated something I'd been only somewhat conscious of: i don't engage my body very much at work and it's really depressing me

being a trans woman in a friend group of scruffy nerd boys is like this
