- I can't stop looking at these two pictures and thinking about the strategic advantage that political incoherence provides. Was MAGA deadly serious or a total farce? It's both! Binding hostage-taking gun guys & flagwaving grandmas, the elasticity of vague ideas is their strength.
- As a gay man who watched as Reagan laughed off the AIDS crisis, fuck you. Reagan's legacy is nothing to celebrate.Slotkin: As a cold war kid, I am thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980's. Trump would have lost us the cold war.
00:00 - had a dream I was at a rave talking to a girl and she told me about a genre called “hit em” that is in 5/4 time at 212 bpm with super crunched out sounds thank you dream girl
- One pleasure of Christmas is seeing my mother Kathy Sussman after many months; she is self-conscious about pictures after her arm was paralyzed in a stroke but I think she looks beautiful so can I get a “go Kathy” in the chat?
- this banal video- whose "karen council" mistranslation is a lie that tells the truth- illustrates a pervasive fantasy that defines so much of our authoritarian present: the longing to summon arrest or punishment, the longing to wield vicarious power through the threat of policethe levels of dgaf on display are pretty impressive tbh
00:00 - My theory: As with inflated fears of car jacking & home invasion, most suburban paranoia scenarios are actually fantasies ("the bad other wants what I have"). Once stripped of defensive distortions, this fantasy looks to me like narcissism: "I am desired / we are desirable."I truly do not understand how angry and emotional people get when you tell them that their kids are not likely to be kidnapped from their safe neighborhood by strangers and sold for sex tourists. Can someone who is a parent explain this to me?
- Btw “Q shaman” has a Valknut, an Yggdrasil, and a Mjolnir tattoo- Nordic pagan symbols frequently appropriated by far right racists and Neo-Nazis. Other folks in this shot are from the TWP. These are literally Neo-Nazis. It’s not an exaggeration or rhetoric- it’s who they are.
- All this discussion of plagues, sympathy, and the ethical question of how and when to laugh at death is bringing me back to very vivid personal and painful memories from the height of the AIDS crisis. So, a thread here.
- Replying to @DDDrewDanielSo when people laugh at Trump's sufferings now, people such as myself, we are *not* laughing from a place of smug safety. We are not laughing as if it couldn't be us, gasping for life. We are laughing because someone who thought he would never suffer has joined the rest of us.
- Replying to @mcmansionhell"modern white hospital house" is actually a pretty sick burn on recent interior design trends I must say
- University administrator: ok so from now on everything you do will be recorded by a third party software system Me: cool what's it called? University administrator: uh, "Panopto" Me:
- this hotel is hosting Shakespearean academics *and* an Ultimate Fighting conference and the hallway vibes are incredible; juiced up musclebros in gym shorts and queer nerds in tweed all gawking at each other in the elevators A+ no notes
- Replying to @MercuryInVirgo and @NegroAphroditewe hit 30 years together last October
