IdPol anti-race-mixing takes (anti-miscegenation but woke!) are among the worst things that periodically flash up on my tl pic.twitter.com/4VImdx0Ez3

Holy fuck, I never thought I’d live in a world where a significant percentage of “progressives” attempt to return us to the segregation era. This and the “any age gap is rape” people need to be punted into the fucking sun.
I’m enjoying all the women who stare at my arms in the supermarket now.
everyone who talked about a V-shaped recovery is a fucking moron. a lot of these jobs are simply gone forever https://t.co/cSTDVccOH3

Yep. I said months ago that 40% of those jobs are not ever coming back. And they ain’t.

Oh, it was always going to be like this in the US. See what I wrote here on February 29, 2020:
I suspect Covid-19 will likely reveal America’s true status as the world’s richest Third World nation as we’ll be completely unable to deal with the disease and its consequences.
Was I right or was I right? (I was right.)
I wish I had been wrong. I’d rather been revealed as an utter dumbass than what’s happening now.
Jobless claims dip to 1.48 million, but slow decline signals choppy economic recovery.
Economic recovery! Hahaha. What kind of shitgoblin writes this? There is no economic recovery. The economy is on fire and just because there are some variations in the intensity of the conflagration so that it can melt steel or sometimes melt titanium are irrelevant.
Headlined Supermarkets in the 1950s.
Nope!
Probably 1966-1968. No one wore prints like that in the 1950s. Also, the fonts on the products in the background are very mid-60s.
I have never laughed as hard at any TV show as when Nora Durst in The Leftovers is recounting how she ended up with her Wu-Tang Clan tattoo.
Fuck that is some great writing and acting.
Here Zhang keys in on something I have pondered on before: China has a broader class of public intellectuals than America does. In America, we have experts who vacillate between extreme expertise in a very narrow issue and general echoing of whatever their social milieu says pic.twitter.com/fRVSaL4Ihn

Yes, yes, yes! This is exactly what I’ve been trying to get at when I say I do not trust or rely on experts. Good insight.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
Was thinking earlier about how progressives seem to view all human relationships as predator/prey. Something I hadn’t considered before but that I believe plays a large part in that view is that nearly all relationships they experience with other entities are in fact this way: any interaction with the medical system, corporations, and with their workplace in fact consists of just this dynamic.
It’s natural, then, to apply this framework to relationships with other people. It might be invalid and a very weird thing to do but it makes sense considering that literally every other relation that people born after 1985 or so have known is essentially predator/prey. Why wouldn’t they perceive their own intimate relationships this way, and see it everywhere else they look?
You project what you experience, regardless of veracity.
