It’s a very weird argument that because China isn’t doing much about climate change, that no one should.
“Well, Paul didn’t replace his tires, I shouldn’t either!” Makes perfect sense. If you are a fucking dumbass.

I'd love to see a Jurassic Park with some of these bastards in it https://t.co/FYxd4JymDe

That movie has already been made:
Not a great movie, but the design of the bird is pretty accurate. And yes, they likely would’ve been that agile.

Over the past few years, supporters of Bernie Sanders have called me the following names:
-Goku-lookin ass
-Mr. doodoo ass
-butt butt mcgee
-mrs. potato dick
-the notorious B.I.G.
-mr lookin like a water balloon filled with mashed potatoes

Great satire there. BernieBros are like the Sasquatch. Many feminists, mostly between the ages of 40-70 (but not exclusively), claim to have been sorely beset by these creatures but never have any evidence of any kind of their existence. It’s quite the mystery. Despite numerous methods of recording what occurs and when on a computer or a smartphone, somehow they “just blocked” or “deleted” or “they are too tired” to take even a single screenshot of these malicious beasts.
One day, as with Sasquatch, we might have substantive proof of the existence of these terrifying and ubiquitous neo-unicorns. But until then, we’ll just have to take these women — who certainly have no other agenda — at their word I guess.
Some Surprise
Is it some sort of coincidence or what that basing an identity around making yourself a corpulent consuming lump of lard confined to a sofa corresponds exactly to the need of capital’s enrichment and continuation? Surely that’s just an accident, right guys? Right? Right?
Yeah, it’s just a big ‘ol coincidence for sure.

Sorry for the potato video quality and 4:3 mess, but it’s worth it. My favorite Paganini piece, by the way. When you see those chord changes, damn:
If I played guitar, I’d give up after seeing this.
Flea 2
Wow. One of my favorite basslines and she nails it. Very hard to get the spirit of that one because you have to be playful and dance around the notes, yet be very precise at the same time. Extremely challenging to say the least.
A new Flea? And gorgeous five-string Yamaha bass there. I can’t play it, but it’s lovely.
Grassed Out
I do not care for Lana del Rey’s music, even though I get what she is trying to do, what she is commenting on. It’s just all so boring, though. It’s like watching grass wither.
PCs Exist
Glad PCs exist and are still reasonably usable. They give such an advantage over the smartphone droolers.
Lexiconned
I tend to think people on this site love language too much. Regardless of what side they fall on regarding taboo words or whether you *need* theory, they all have this fetishization of what I consider to just be tools
— Chad Vigorous (@PrettyBadLefty) January 2, 2020
That’s because Twitter (and large parts of the non-normie internet) are chockablock with academics and journalists. These people worship words and think the world consists of lexemes and their logic. While words and language are not unimportant, this view is certainly very cloistered and leads people to believe they are involved in “activism” and “changing the world” when in reality they are just faffing about purposelessly, being worse than useless.
Possibly
it’s gonna be so funny to see how absurd woke takes will have to get this decade for people to pay attention to them. we’re like a year max from “it’s racist to do the dishes”
— White Adorno (@GeraldFordVEVO) January 2, 2020
I fully expect (because it’s already kinda started), statements like, “It’s colonialism to eat anything but soy gruel and Impossible Burgers™ and shows that you are a true fascist Nazi!” as woke capital fully aggregates with neoliberal faux-activism.
Ratios
I am not a rationalist because the universe is not rational.
Hint: just because you can write it in a provable equation doesn’t make it rational. Quite the opposite! Equations only encapsulate what is or can be. Neither of those things have to make sense, and often they do not. For instance, Bell’s theorem doesn’t really make sense but it appears to be 100% true.
If that’s rational, then rationality has a lot of explaining to do.

Some perspective on the devastating scale of the #AustralianFires:
-100s of fires are blanketing a country the size of the US or Europe
-5 million hectares of land have burned. That’s 5x the size of the Amazon fires & 50x the California fires#AustraliaBurns #AustraliaFires pic.twitter.com/ALddUzpUPb

And yet dipshit liberals disbelieve climate change’s severity and think that it will not have any real impact. Also, many of them believe that the biosphere is irrelevant. However, as Australia goes, the rest of the world will follow.
I single out liberals because they should know better.
Don De Voyance
I like reading “smart” people’s take on Watchmen because what they miss helps me understand the world better: why they miss what they do, what they don’t have the systems/holistic thinking to understand is occurring at the first or second level of the show.
This is easier and more productive with books, but almost no one reads most of the academic non-fic books I read so finding discussions about them is nearly impossible. TV shows are what people talk about so it’s the mirror and the crystal ball I can use to examine the shrouded parts of culture and shared reality.
Quasisenescent
I met two lovely ladies on a college campus yesterday. They looked like they were in their early 30s.
I later found out that they were both 21 years old and still in college.
This is a recurring theme I've observed lately, where women look much older than they actually are.
— Preethi Kasireddy (@iam_preethi) November 24, 2019
Being fat and eating garbage will do this. Seems to be worse on women, for some reason — perhaps because both men and women pay more attention to women’s appearances. I’ve noticed it, too, what Preethi is talking about. I see people (men too) who are in their 20s but look 40+, and not in any good way.
Intercalated
As far as I can determine, there is no extant calendar that functions correctly for keeping track of non-date-specific periodicity of events.
What I mean is that, as is normal with working out, I want to have something that reoccurs for three days and then skips one day (rest day). Furthermore, if for some reason we miss a workout day I want to be able to move all the future events forward (into the future) for one day without changing the record of past events and of course while altering all future events without caring about specific dates but moving them all forward in time by one day.
This simply does not exist, as far as I can tell, even though it’d seem to be something commonly needed in the world of fitness. I find it hard to believe, but I’ve spent a few days searching and can’t find anything.
