My brother-in-law died, leaving his house in a mess. His landlord wants me to repaint and replace the carpet. What should we do?

Practice saying a good “Fuck you” and then call up the landlord and loudly say “Fuck you” into the phone and then hang up.

Done! Problem solved.

It's unconscionable. https://t.co/ZdCSNZ24tw

Good. Time to stop pretending the vaccines don’t work. Why are people like Catherine so very invested in that? I will never understand.

God it’s fun to watch the lockdown lifers cry.

Me: I wish I knew many other languages so I could read all the books in those languages that haven’t been translated or were obviously poorly translated.

Also me: Which of the books on my 5,000-book-long “to read” list should I start next?*

*Yes, I do really have a “to read” list that is about 5,000 books long.

Grrrrrr

Talk about a fucking smackdown. I’d be deleting my account if I were that clueless idiot.

But those types never learn.

Believers In Me

Uh oh, you trusted the experts but now the experts of different disciplines are disagreeing and you have no ability to balance their competing priorities without conceding that your technocratic managerial worldview was fatally flawed

— F!nn (@finnitejest) September 10, 2021

Righto. There is no scientific answer to values and priorities. None. Not for Covid, not for anything. “Believe science” is nonsense (for a whole variety of reasons) and it doesn’t work to determine what anyone should do, nor can it ever. “Believe science” can be used to support anything from farming organs from still-living people to ritual human sacrifice to wearing ornamental chickens on top of your head.

And meanwhile STEM goofuses claim we don’t need philosophy.

Sex Before

Sex can relieve nasal congestion.

I have found that, too. And can forestall a migraine if you have sex at just the right time before one hits, but can tell it’s on the way.

Capital’s Offenses

OH: the reason lgbt stuff is so promoted by techno capital is it encourages people to become the ideal atomized consumer.

Finally: homo economicus pic.twitter.com/IDg0Sw6KUK

I agree. This is apart from the rights that all LGBT people should have by virtue of being human. Why techno capital is so enamored of LGBT initiatives is it’s a way to make individuals see themselves as their own sovereigns, part of no real cohesive group (while in reality being siloed into a group that capital can classify), thus allowing marketing and propaganda pushes to work as well and as predictably as possible.

Expanding beyond that, there is no reason that in a world and with technology so drastically altered that capitalism is the best system. Or socialism. Or communism. There are whole scads of systems that we haven’t even tried — haven’t even thought of — that we could now apply with our drastically altered informational and sociocultural environment. We’ll probably not try these systems, I admit. But we should.
