i feel like it's good for your character to occasionally have to pay someone to shock you with needles. keeps you humble.

imo the lessons of last night are clear: liberal voters have rejected aipac and the israel lobby. all democrats should immediately withdraw any support for israel and commit to passing sanctions. it's just good politics.

something i think about from time to time is Gerhard Gentzen's 1934 letter to Paul Bernays—who was in exile in Switzerland after losing his position at Göttingen for being Jewish—where he nonchalantly mentions how he joined the SA for career advancement reasons, so he could keep doing his maths.

is linda mcmahon stupid? set aside the xenophobic jingoism, is she stupid? does she not know the answer to this question?

While at least this letter doesn't get into definitions of biological sex, the overreach is extraordinary. Here's the last of seven demands, echoing Trump's absurdly narrow instrumentalist view of the world and the same inexplicably zero-sum logic that got into the tariff mess we're now suffering.

you have the misfortune of being born into a culture that abuses you and your ostensible fellow travelers will use that as proof of your essential wrongness if you ever step out of line

From Worcester to the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts knows what’s possible with fare-free transit. My new report with @pressley.house.gov shows that going fare free saves money, grows ridership & simplifies transit. We must pass the Freedom to Move Act so communities can go fare free.

lots of great grist here for my campaigns against comedy and against philosophy

Out early for subscribers! Helen and Sarah sit down with @amymarvin.bsky.social, a philosopher who specializes in feminist philosophy and trans theory. We discuss the relationship between chasers, transphobia, and ruinous obsession, and ask how that intersects with stand-up comedy.

i don't get why the hack is such a reviled figure. like yeah there's not as many tools as there are with face cards, but retriggers are really powerful. glass cards, gold seals, lucky cards, even mult and bonus cards in the early game; not to mention powerful synergies like the idol or ancient joker

as a reosonable centrist liberal i of course think this is disgusting. nonetheless we must acknowledge the legitimacy of the concern behind it. i propose a compromise. how about we only molest the trans girls?

does someone want to come over to my house and pet my cat? he is accustomed to a certain level of love and it is difficult to maintain to his satisfaction without at least one other person around

i am being accused by my gf of not appreciating comedy, so i would like to state for the record that i'm a big fan of bill maher. real funny guy

if we can have standup comedy we should have standup horror. someone stands up on a stage and tells little anecdotes to try to scare you
