I'm secure enough in my own self-righteousness to know that I will always remain steadfast in my unbridled contempt for Elizabeth Holmes, no matter how she is portrayed. 😇 🫶 😌

Researchers at University Medical Center Göttingen studied 892 adults and found that people with Long COVID reported significantly worse sex lives, even after accounting for depression and other health factors. The impact was similar in men and women. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI. He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money

I just completed my 1 yr participation in the REVERSE-LC trial! Long covid is still with me, but I'm SO MUCH BETTER than I was a year ago. Friends with LC, please don't give up! More help is coming. For those that don't have it, pls vax n mask as you're able. Trust me, long covid sucks

so much of what passes as political pragmatism is just a commitment to cementing the limits of the current system as the limits of your own imagination. “realism” is a flattering way to explain away a deep psychological attachment to the status quo

Every anti-cyclist Red Pill moment is just "I saw a cyclist moving faster than car traffic, thus proving the argument that bike lanes are efficient at moving people and reducing car gridlock. This infuriated me."

We've got a premier distracting people from health care & housing issues by lying about bike lanes causing congestion, stoking a culture war. We got motorists intentionally running into cyclists. Just because this doesn't suit your preferred activism you don't need to invalidate it. Weak take Emmett

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I see a lot of this tender, co-dependent kind of "vulnerability" in situations where a little righteous anger would be more appropriate. If you are pissed about rape, you are not a meanie lol.

Do you ever think about how there are 8 billion people on this planet but the ones who get the most nuanced consideration are the ones who do fucked-up shit? I do.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

I wish that the most pressing matter in my life was "what will we do with Jacob Geller? 🥺" Ignore his ass until he disappears. Youtube is filled with video essayists who can find some deep melancoly in super smash bros

I have mixed feelings about data centers. Terraforming the earth into a toxic wasteland in order to replace humanity with a computer god is objectively very cool. But I understand it also comes with some downsides

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.
