i am not a man amused by baubles and trinkets.

It's salvageable, but we shouldn't salvage it. A forum on the future of "liberal democracy." Thoughts from Wendy Brown, Carolin Amlinger, Axel Honneth, Veronica Gago, Isabell Lorey, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Naika Foroutan, Christoph Menke, Rahel Jaeggi, and me.

step dad is mad at me because i gave forgetting sarah marshall 3 stars

it is of course very simple: there were campus protests under biden because people hoped they had a receptive audience in power and there are none now because they know they don’t; now, thing is, the first part turned out to be incorrect

had two beers on this ferry once and it was one of the most sublime experiences imaginable.

BABY BOOMER TRAVELING: This place is incredible! If someone makes even 1% of this happen in my suburb, I will kill my entire family.

I understand the calculations lol

the pitt fans are *like that* because the foundational thrill of fanfiction is to illegitimately demand things from a text which are precluded by its genre, and the most constraining the genre the more intense the yearning & the revolt

Yvonne trying to define Marxism-Leninism..

Just break illusion of porn industry where they put it in all holes randomly without "cleaning" before switching. It is disease in advance. Men don't get that, that is just movie. They cut scenes, they pause filming to clean and put antibacterical gels than continue. No woman in real life should let them switch back and front door ever!

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He dismantled his nuclear program. He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda. He did everything that was asked of him. He negotiated. He complied. He normalized. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months. His own military turned against him with Western backing. He was captured in a drainage pipe. A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed. Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera. "We came, we saw, he died." The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet. And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years. This is what negotiated security guarantees look like. This is the documented outcome. Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding. The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up. The lesson is not complicated. The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess. The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.

the roko's basilisk guys are so funny bc they correctly intuit that our lives will be controlled by a psychotic, amoral algorithm that hates humanity but they think some nerd in SF is going to build it on his macbook. it was already built, in 1602, by the Dutch

You can’t be dating out of your consciousness bracket

look, dad, i know they used to call them "moments of zen" on the daily show but they're "future adam curtis b-rolls" now and they're a Symptom of Decline
