Mmm nice kneecaps on this (notices people are watching) uh... concept

I'm at a coffee shop where it seems like half the people around me are talking about 'The Odyssey' and Christopher Nolan I literally witnessed two women fail the Bechdel Test irl, with Nolan as the man.

[Lucille Bluth voice]: "I don't care for Judith Miller"

The coverage of the "scandal" of Trump's Qatari plane lack of proper safety measures is really giving "the food's terrible and the portions are soooo small!"

Just realized I'm technically two degrees of IRL separation away from Trump, ugh..... Saw Judith Miller get interviewed in late 2016, and she said she had schmoozed with then-president-elect Trump at Mar-A-Lago and it turned out he was "much more reasonable than how the media portrayed him".

HELL YEAH, it feels like a blessed miracle that this is getting a second season but Copano had better get his ass over there and teach Harrington about police abolitionism

Random question: what celebrity have you met in real life who was dramatically better looking than ypu thought they were based on on screen appearance?

N*******U Should I follow my dreams (i.e. write a screenplay about a Jewish Millennial selling "N-word Passes" to neurotic lib boomers giving them permission to say that Stephen Miller looks like Nosferatu despite those who say that's anti-Semitic)? Or am I about to ruin my life & hurt people?

If executed well, it would sit at a perfect nexus of contemporary anxieties around language and authority and Israel and race and male body image and toxic identity politics and the libidinal desire to mock the Trump administration If executed poorly, it would just read as anti-anti-racist

my proudest work i think

Could not imagine anything more embarrassing than stanning an extremely rich, conventionally attractive, white-supremacist-adjacent person who flatters the simple prejudices of their milieu. It's very tidy to have principles that cover both Taylor Swift and the early Wittgenstein lol #philsky

found a lil handwritten flash fiction from years ago, and decided to type it up, without edits I wrote in an creative writing therapy group at some mental health program or another, but it's the germ of an idea I want to expand into a novel

I described 'Lost In Translation' to a friend as "like 'Under The Skin' but every Scottish man is Bill Murray" and I don't think that's quite right, but I don't think it's quite wrong either

retweeting your own posts simply because you wish they got more attention than they did: is it all right to?

they should make a version of Bluesky that you can do irl

it’s weird that sharks have existed for about 1% of the entire history of the universe

getting some minor whiplash from the fact that I know people who hate DSA because it's too radical and is gonna lose the Dems elections, while also knowing people who hate DSA because it's too moderate and uncool and electoralist

sugar snap peas dipped in gochujang: not the worst snack, not the best snack, but certainly an easy snack that makes you feel things other than tedium or dread

related to this: please recommend accounts I should follow that write in a nuanced and thoughtful way about addiction. the only person I can think of off the top of my head is @raxkingisdead.bsky.social

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 years old what the distinction is supposed to be b/w psychological dependence & physical dependence in the context of substance abuse or compulsive behavior? Everyone seems to take this distinction for granted, but it's always struck me as hopelessly confused.

#philsky help, i need a philosopher of mind

I can't believe they're making a Season 2 of Common Side Effects. Feels like a small miracle.

As a balding ethnically Jewish anti-fascist man, I could probably make big bucks selling "Call Stephen Miller A Vampire" indulgences to anxious boomers. I'll tell you if it's allowed or not, for a fee. I've read @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, and he says this is the good kind of identity politics.

In my brief sojourn away from Bluesky, I'd blissfully forgotten the discourse arguing that it's anti-Semitic to say that Stephen Miller looks like Nosferatu. As an ethnically Jewish(-looking) person, this is a hill I will die on: It's OK to say that Stephen Miller looks like Nosferatu.

Would anyone pay me in USD to read the entirety of the SEP???

coming to terms w/ the fact that I basically need to have an intellectual or cultural preoccupation going at all times, lest my mental energies turn inwards on myself: an autoimmune disorder of sorts, known by some as "the Backroomsification of the mind" aka "the Human Centipedification of the mind"
