Liberals: "Um, a revolution? Yeah right. I'd assume something like that would have to be televised."

I know this is one of those weeks where decades happen kinds of years but come on

Wild to have so many people on the timeline saying shit like "Americans will never rise up" Did you all forget about everything that happened in Minneapolis???

Only Israelis make a point in saying “double-sided” ceasefire which’s different to normal ceasefires where Israel only continues to attack

Faking/exaggerating disabilities or symptoms is a wild concept when our extractionist, for-profit, USA health”care” system enforces a class divide that punishes disability intensely. To be disabled is to be impoverished, either thru legislated poverty or only working when able

@ChazakielDoremi aside but speaking of this show and AI it's a bit weird how the pro human artist types adopted the "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" meme... I mean I get it, it's a generic expression of superiority and contempt, but he's talking about ~humans~ there, right?

What is it about Invincible that the fans of the show consistently act like this? Is it because its capeshit?

@ChazakielDoremi I think a lot of the absurdity of our present moment comes from the insistence in spite of that that, employment should be a necessary precondition to be given food and shelter and clothing and medicine and etc.

@ChazakielDoremi I understand the incentives of the system of course. But it seems to me like we've long since passed the point where there was any realistic need to have the vast majority of the population working full time.

A lot of people on my timeline going "wow. Mythos. Wow. We're closer to being killed by the computer than ever before. This might be it, folks" who are somehow, at the same time, also confused why people would threaten to blow up data centers

@nyaraVT THE HEADLINE: There is more diversity of thought on the right THE EXPLANATION: "democrats" were more likely to give similar answers to a 40 question quiz than "republicans"

The diversity of thought on the Right is which minority they hate the most and the conspiracy theory they believe.. It doesn’t matter how often you show this graph.. it doesn’t mean that the Right is any less of a cult and hive mind

"Try fingers, but hole.": Traditional Tarnished saying. The apparent meaning is an expression of vexation at the enigmatic demands of the Two Fingers. The Tarnished have tried to follow the path set out for them by the Fingers, only to find themselves at the bottom of a hole.

It's crazy to me. It's such a huge part of our lives and culture but we never talk about it. Talking about it at all will get people calling you immature.

Nothing gets me more engagement than when I talk about school. Even my most viral tweet in my old account was about how common the experience of school nightmares is and what that says about our common trauma. I guess it's something anyone can resonate with.

Thanks for joining us today! It was absolutely unreal how quickly we beat Malenia. I thought it would be an entire stream of mostly fighting her but instead we beat her on the fourth attempt and spent the rest of the stream hunting for items we missed ^^

Going live now! Sorry for the delay!

Gonna be a little bit, sorry for the delay! We should start in half an hour or so ^^;

Streaming Elden Ring in 20 minutes! We're fighting Malenia! twitch.tv/meteorsfalling

@repligate Mine as well. Better read, too.

@LuceMeteora that's probably part of it in my experience a random group of homeless people are far better able to carry a discussion about philosophy of mind or whatever than a random undergrad humanities classroom. like there's no question about it

when i was in undergrad the STEM classes were mostly fine. but people in the humanities (e.g. philosophy) classes seemed extraordinarily dumb. i often didnt read assignments or pay attention, but i was consistently the only kid able to carry discussions or answer questions. it was pretty awkward because i'd try to give others a chance so whenever the professors asked a question there would be like 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence and then i'd answer.

@repligate I wonder if the admissions processes of ellite universities in particular select against the kind of people who have genuine interest in the humanities. No time for reflection or curiosity when you've got Metrics to make you know?

im actually not sure why this is. i went to a highly competitive university and the people there shouldnt have been so dumb at humanities but they were in every humanities class i took
