Song of the Day: Another one of those pure Id of rock music songs, I was listening to it on a brisk morning walk and I found it impossible not to strut a bit while walking

You may not like it, but no one has done more to normalize homosexuality among the American working class than Trump. A true hero of the LGBT cause.

"Holmes feels like a distinctly Millennial cautionary tale. As a generation steeped in self-invention, entrepreneurial brio, and “my truth,” now with an added layer of supposed neurodivergence, my demographic feels uniquely susceptible to Holmes’ claims..."

The 2004 Obama speech has proven to be one of the most egregious misreads of the actual dynamics of the US this century. It was risible nonsense which served only to flatter people into making him president. What you're seeing now is a man who realizes his entire career is a joke

one reason ive become less interesting is that people no longer pretend to believe in things and so there are no beliefs to interrogate
most politics is explicitly schmittian now and no one is even bothering with the window dressing. people just want to kill each other

I remember my young friend showing me his uncircumcised penis behind the school one day and being horrified, I had never seen one before. When I asked him why it looked like that he said nigga you’re thirty five years old you tell me

One of the things that got me about the @DMSabatini story was the allegation that his lab promoted “bro culture.” Not only is being a bro not a crime (no matter what some might have you think) but labs, especially ones that operate at such a high level, rely on people being motivated, being inspired, and yes, having fun. I loved Sabatini’s response to my question in my interview with him for @PirateWires, on how American science has become corporate and sterile:
As I exited my video call with @DMSabatini, whom I interviewed for @PirateWires via @IWF, all I could think was: here is a scientist who has made some of the biggest breakthroughs of our age—a man who is exceptional, definitionally abnormal in the best sense of the word; here he is, begging for “normal.” The people who put him in such a position—including Kristin Knouse, his ex who was found by a jury to have defamed him by falsely calling him a “rapist”—remain employed by the Whitehead Institute. Full piece in the replies.
The problem is he's a liar. This didnt happen due to Trump it happened because Silicon Valley with the imprimatur of leadership of both parties was allowed to run roughshod over the brains of the entire populace. Its on them all for allowing it, Obama especially
Barack Obama looked out at the crowd and did not like the country that looked back. He stood in a high-school gymnasium in Detroit, with skinny arms and a helmet of silver hair, at a recent campaign event for Michigan’s Democratic slate. He was remembering that politics was more dignified when he was president: a time when politicians dealt with their disagreements with reluctant professionalism and a begrudging mutual respect as opposed to the farcical insults thrown around today. America, he said, had lost its way and needed to return to the “old-fashioned virtues of honesty and integrity and kindness and compassion”. It was a plaintive plea. He wanted those at the rally to recognise that the midterm elections on 3 November presented an opportunity to rein in the excesses of Donald Trump’s corruption and demagoguery. But he seemed to want more than just a check on Trump’s marauding will to power. He wanted to rekindle a sense of American decency.
That evening, people in the US were offered two visions of their country. One was from a more dignified time that is hard to remember now, espoused from the stage in that sweaty Detroit sports hall. The other vision was from the present. At the same time that Obama was speaking, Trump was delivering a speech of his own in Georgia in which he asked why America could not accept migrants from places such as Sweden and Denmark as opposed to “shithouse” countries in Africa. Both men were pushing their audiences towards an idealised future, by harking back to a past that never quite existed. The key difference is that only one of these men is still the president.

the far right are homosexuals who pretend to be straight
the far left are heterosexuals who pretend to be gay
the issue is that a lot of the far right is now coming out of the closet, synthesizing 100-proof misogyny and homo-attraction

Chuck Berry is so much better than Hendrix and I bet Hendrix would’ve agreed
