this is why liberals and the left can never compete with the populist right. their commitment to the friend/enemy distinction means they’ll take a bullet for any con man who seems like ‘their kind of guy’ if the left hates him enough

Argentinian young professional: I voted for Milei and now I can't afford rent anywhere. I'll probably migrate out of the country, but I'll still never vote for the left.

@JimothyBurg1ary prob nothing but you always have to remember it’s easier to bust ppl like you than it is to bust wealthy tax evaders. so if they need to bust more people they’re coming for you first

Maybe im stupid -- I am stupid -- but if youre a regular person who makes a wage and gets a w2 and doesn't have investments or anything. Does anything happen if you just dont file your taxes? Your employer already paid the government for you. You just dont get a return

21st cent delta force guys with tattoo sleeves on PEDs are still indistinguishable from suburban dads
Special Ops Magazine@specialopsmag
Delta Force in the 1980's, when Tier 1 guys were indistinguishable from suburban dads. No tattoo sleeves or PED enhanced muscles. They could literally blend in anywhere.

the looksmaxxing dialect is a successor to grindset, but there is no utility or social value implied by this notion of “success.” by success he means some weird perverse new definition of male beauty that apparently involves hitting yourself in the face with a hammer

it’s interesting to see the return of 19th century l’art pour l’art discourse but with the aesthetic impulse now limited to body modification

Clavicular says men aren't supposed to be happy. "I have no regard for my own happiness, men aren't supposed to be happy, life is hard, work isn't enjoyable, the gym isn't enjoyable, but it needs to be done, if you want to succeed to the highest level you can't prioritize being happy"

“bullshit jobs” such an antique concept by comparison

JUST IN: Use of AI in the office is reportedly creating a flood of “workslop” that takes longer to fix than do from scratch.

amazing things are happening at the intersection of private credit and zombie chain restaurants
Jeffrey Gundlach@TruthGundlach
A bottom tier sponsor just marked down its Red Lobster equity position 98% OVERNIGHT. Oddly, that equity position was in a “private credit” fund. Disturbingly, that fund’s large Red Lobster debt holding is marked at par, even though the equity was basically wiped out OVERNIGHT. RUN!!!

@rural_object my personal kink when it comes to fictional narrative is when the author presents private fantasy as if it were lived experience, so i'm biased, but: agree

i know this is already getting slated but i’d like to join the chorus of “weird take”

maybe this is idiosyncratic, but learning about Éric Rohmer's personal life—the fact that he was a devout Catholic, that he hid his filmmaking career from his mother, that he never cheated on his wife—really turned me off his films

@messageesquisse @Arbeitologist a virgin so beautiful that he can only be chad
English
@Arbeitologist ofc, i'm doing everyone an immense disservice by positing such a reified opposition in the first place. in the most chad of moments, there the virgin speaks
English
@Arbeitologist i can kinda see where you're coming from, but to me the length and density alone disqualify it from chad status
English
@Arbeitologist really? what about Adorno could possibly be construed as chad
English
@traxus4420 i am conflicted. i want the impossible hybrid/compromise. i probably tend to agree that philosophy rooted in "reason" is going to come up short always. hard from me to imagine an atheism/amythical position that doesn't succumb to prometheanism.
English
I thought it was cute at first, but it’s getting a bit weird that the two most prominent American critics of Trump’s imperial adventures are a U Chicago great powers realist and the pope
English
@rural_object i want to believe that we can learn (or re-learn) how to be politically atheist, but i would prob agree with colin that no existing & effective political orientation is actually doing it
English
@rural_object yes! the wrong-footing of secular orientations might be the story of 21st century political movements. we have proven that we don't know how to be atheists in pursuit of material interests (whether individual or collective) without essentially becoming apolitical

@amazonlabor isn't it an OSHA violation to prevent workers from calling 911 during a medical emergency?
English
Amazon prevents us from calling 911 when someone is having a medical emergency so that the company’s internal first-aid department “AmCare” can cover it up and it’s costing workers their lives.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers in the facility were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to The Western Edge. Link: thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-is-….
