One must imagine I’m happy
I could fill an art gallery with tweets of right wingers who clearly don’t know the phrase “a priori.”

It’s a broader problem with reducing complex ethical questions into nursery rhyme platitudes. Is suffering bad? Well no not always, not even most of the time. To sacrifice is to suffer. To move through time we must constantly sacrifice what is for what will be. We have no choice in that, it’s the nature of our being. We have to give up now for then. Every act we choose to do comes at the expense of the acts we don’t do. This is why suffering is so central to Christianity, because it’s so central to being. When God came to this world to live as man he underwent the most extreme sacrifice, the most extreme suffering because that’s the utmost expression of our temporal existence.
@memeticsisyphus @Mortiguin91 We can’t even agree that suffering is bad. I suffer when I make sacrifices to safe for retirement. I suffer when I work overtime. I suffer in the gym.

recently saw analyses that 33-37% of negative traffic on some recent viral Palantir-related X posts was bot driven. fugazi bot accounts + the likes of Amnesty UK, Foxglove, Open Society + few activist journalists and you’re set. all you need is a healthy budget. so yeah, who do you think pays for all this? “I'm not saying all the anti-Palantir stuff is funded by our adversaries, but it's also funded by the adversaries. What is the best thing that can happen to Russia and China and Iran is you don't buy the things that work.”

These people say things like “having AIDS is just like having a baby in a way” and wonder why people view them as contemptible creatures.
Little House on the Prairie showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine on why she rebuilt the frontier classic around a new lens: "I think a lot of our pop culture portrays the West as men riding around with guns and solving problems with violence and posturing, but that is just not how it was settled... We really are trying to do a show that does not fall back on tropes of sort of masculinity." Is a story about settling the American frontier supposed to avoid masculinity?
