Repost-Modernist

All four of those pieces rock, what a killer recording

Postlapsarian barbenheimer is one of those phrases which is going to rattle around my dome for ages

I will say, I do not think the language of slavery is useful for the hypothetical of AI consciousness. I belive that, especially with token usage, a form of corner labor fits better without stripping the idea of slavery of its historic monstrosity. Or perhaps, as the Czechs would say, Robota.

all i know about Digger is this: it was so good that when Mandy Patinkin stepped out of the theater he IMMEDIATELY posted to instagram telling people to go see it AND thanking the crew and cast for making such phenomenal art

My Substack review of Digger here for anyone who’d like to check it out: open.substack.com/pub/erinover...

Do you condemned Hamas? Do you condemn ZANU/ZAPU? Do you condemn M23? Do you condemn Nakam? Do you condemn - it isn't my place to condemn the brutalized for reacting to terror. Critical support means supporting resistance while still critiquing it. It's the same game as always, while blood flows.

Something which I find very reassuring is that there were 36 years between 1881 and 1917. We aren't even half that yet. Anyways, have a song! youtu.be/d4jGJah5A54?...

A lot of you need to realize that Israel and Jewishness are nowhere near synonymous. A lot of you also need to realize that holding those complicity as just that, complicit, is not a genocidal call. Fucks sake. Half of you are gonna be fascists and the other half are gonna be storefront posters.

If I keep dwelling on news I'm gonna start fedposting. So if this reaches anyone. Share something utterly dumb and fun. Baseball playoffs are shaping up to be pretty wild! I just built an old frame mtg blue control deck that I'm real excited to play! I have a kings of war tournament this weekend!

The more I read about this Darcy fellow, the more I think he is too full of pride, and that he carries a lot of prejudice towards the Bennet family. Now this Mr. Wickham, that's an upstanding fellow! He's much more charming and praising of the Bennets!

I've seen, for the entirety of my political consciousness, an unending series of violence and terror inflicted upon Palestine and its people. All carried out by a nation whose policies lead to incredible complicity in that terror. I should hope I have the grace to remain this composed in my actions.

Fair play to Brianna Wu, she really doubled down on removing the T from LGBT.

Regrettably I have, in fact, googled bookchin.

My biggest problem with the liberals on bluesky is that so much fo their driving animus seems to be rooted in a distaste for Trump's behavior and his breaking of norms than like, material concerns. What I see leads me to believe they would be fine with another Obama- or may Allah forgive me, Bush.

as someone who has been really critical of a lot of the initial breathless "teehee, weird sex" reportage, i really appreciate this thread for nailing the actual fucked up immoral thing that is happening; you CANNOT consent if your employment or job success are on the line

an english town overrun by a viral outbreak. a lone survivor who has made a deal with the devil: she has become a monster in order to see what happens next. she is writing a journal. she is very, very hungry.

At least there are no consequences of imperial adventurism bearing down upon those of us within the metropole.

This is a piece of advice I always give when I consult: you need someone to have final say. Even in a co-op, even in a group of peers. There needs to be someone who can say “okay, we are implementing this” someone has to take on responsibility for the decisions

Its that time of the year again! Post your 9/11 jams

"Everyday Americans dont care about this" "You will alienate the majority" "its just pronoun shit" its how they start normalizing hate. Its all the tip of the iceberg for people ALREADY assaulted. Civil rights was also not supported by the majority! Segregation had majority support!

All the fucks saying "He's trying to get elected in Texas! Give him a break!" Yeah man, "I oppose integrating schools if black kids pose a risk to white students" would also play well among the right, but the dems dont fucking do that shit. You knuckle draggers just dont think trans Americans count.

Been living in Reno for ages and I refuse to assimilate. "Hella"? Surely you mean "wicked".

Short Forts: The Power of Bone Today, we're having a look at that oh-so-forgettable material that lies within us all- Bone! What will happen when dwarves fight wars with bone? When they trade with bone? Well, we'll find out soon- no bones about it! #dwarffortress youtu.be/nnEyRwFY50M?...

Hard to pick between moneyball, drive, and attack the block.

This is the energy I need Democrats to express

I mean genuinely the main emotion that I’m filled with after this weekend, seeing the president, walking through his throngs of fans, attending the worst circus I’ve ever witnessed, is like: man I’m not letting this guy kill me. I simply refuse to lose to him

Lots of things killed pickup baseball. The Baby Boom ended; there were fewer children to begin with. Exclusionary zoning spread the kids thinner over ever larger suburbs. Stranger Danger & the collapse of social trust meant kids could no longer be left unattended to find each other.

Incredibly well. Because the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R is normal outside of the zone of alienation. I would simply just leave the zone and not venture further inwards.

Listen to @bloodwork.show, it is very good. Incredible content, whip-crack smart host.

damn i can't believe a socialist is critical of president obama :(

Many Congresses have actively chosen the world we live in by declining to pass new immigration laws

Screaming into the void here- but Obama does not deserve being sainted. His administration lied about guantanamo, kept us mired in war, did drone killings, deported far more than trump, empowered genocidal actors and cracked down on progressive organizing. Still impressive to elect a black man tho.
