Fair warning, 70% of what the most famous rad fems wrote is so bleakly accurate it will ruin your life, and the other 30% is so stupid you can't fathom how they got the rest of it so dead on.

at grok create an image of a horrified Judith Butler discovering a really good argument for the immorality of homosexuality and vowing never to let it see the light of day, lest it destroy all of wokedom. Then zoom in on her notebook so I can see what it is

It's like that previous time when his hand slipped and he accidentally set up a board that was able to fire him. Lucky he was able to fix that typo in time!
It's a shame that Sam Altman's hands slipped and he accidentally signed a bunch of documents that made OpenAI into a nonprofit that doesn't provide a financial incentive to rush AI, instead of a regular corporation like he intended

This is a new one on me: Japanese army officer convicted of war crimes considers his sentence too lenient, so he spends the remaining 14 years of his life in the replica of his prison he had built in his garden. You could not make it up.

for most of my life people were like "someone being friends with their exes is a green flag of them being emotionally mature and not vindictive" but now I see people on X being like "only weirdo sex-posi poly people are friends with their exes, normie women see it as a red flag"

afaict the thesis of this article is that men are more resilient and like conflict more than women and don't get their feefees hurt like women do, which is why the most significant threat to civilization is that men feel unwelcome when people call each other mean names :(

What makes me most angry is that there's nothing Americans "get" from destroying USAID in a way that directly results in the death of the world's poorest children. It barely even qualifies as an act of selfishness. We're doing it for nothing. The debt picture is completely unchanged. Being an insanely rich country that controls its own currency means we have a genuinely magical ability to save hundreds of thousands of lives around the world with a budgetary rounding error. And MAGA's like: "No thanks, it sounds woke."
Everyone should read this story about the devastating consequences of destroying USAID

for all the people on this app invested in whether my son's gay: he announced that he HATED boy scouts and ONLY wanted to be in frozen. he was also inconsolable that we didn't take him to the Addams Family musical and was mollified only by us promising to show him a bootleg

AI outcomes - we all become one with the machine and shuffle off our mortal coils to live as a hive mind of cyborg superbeings - we all die horribly and painfully in an alien world that has no use for human emotion, creativity, or intellect - +1.5% TFP growth for seven years

anyone remember back in the 2010s when people said that the fundamental, eternal difference between left and right is that right-wingers are more afraid of pathogens

I have to say "female gaze (fuck, marry, kill)" is something many discord channels are already providing me a nigh-infinite supply of and I didn't have to pay any $1000
This is our highest tier of ticket. Let me pitch you on why it's worth the cost: The three tiers go something like this: Participant (1k): Closest to a 'normal con', in the sense that you can wander around, go to open talks. Our talks are given by pretty experienced people, many of which we are paying a fair amount of money. We're also bringing in a lot of women, who are going through some training and will be there to wander the grounds and give honest feedback if you hit on them. Insider (3k): All of the above, and *also* closer to a bootcamp experience. You get access to another set of workshops that are more intensive, meant for smaller audiences, and usually involve more participation. Think of this as a series of small-group classes where you can take turns working directly with teachers and volunteers to practice whatever needs practicing. You also get priority entry to any limited-entry groups that are open to participants. Protagonist (9k): All of the above, and *also* personalized coaching. You get access to a private lounge room, a concierge, and regular scheduled 1:1 sessions with coaches. You also get priority access to any limited-entry events open to the other tiers. The protagonist experience is hands-on and customized specifically for your needs, where we track your progress over time and help you achieve the specific goals you set. I think all the tiers are great for different reasons, but Protagonist is really worth it if you want to intensively fast-track any progress. For example: I was fortunate enough to stumble into private lessons for dance early on. I learned *extremely* fast, and went from zero to proficient in two years. After this I tried attending some group classes, and was like holy shit - the learning rate is *so* much slower, because the feedback I'm getting about what moves are correct vs. bad is slower. The goal with protagonist is to be the 'private lessons' of sexual success. We're thinking of this as packing the most rocket fuel we can into your days. (example of a segment below! pink is open to everyone, purple is open to insiders and protags, blue is protags only)

Imagine biologists writing constant posts and articles titled “Palm trees are palms, not trees.” Definitions exist at multiple different levels—biologically, palms are not trees. And yet, they look like trees and *are* trees to most people, in most contexts.

we are allowing the CCP to decide what news half of young Americans see and what posts they get attention for. Congress passed a law to end this, the Supreme Court upheld it, and the White House is just breaking the law openly because they don't care

for basically my entire life I've been more woke than any of my friends of color & it breaks my heart that if I chronicled any of the conversations that result I would be super cancelled
