The year is 2040. The only event left in the summer Olympics is “Being Offended.” The Space Needle in Seattle has been torn down and replaced with the Earth Noodle. Being attracted to anyone is illegal. Nations no longer exist and Amazon officially owns every living human; the liberals say this is “for your own good.”
Everyone worships the algorithm because It Knows BestTM. A cyborg clone of AOC is president.
I am one of the most cynical people on the planet about the viability of America’s political institutions and the good faith of the Democratic Party but nevertheless the realization that this is all going to happen and they can’t/won’t stop it is genuinely shattering https://t.co/RhN3S3oeed

Contraception being banned is the next step. Was always obvious.
Wonder what that “there are no snuff films” clown is doing now?
Since the war in Ukraine started, I have seen (without deliberately searching for them) about a dozen videos of people getting killed.
You can believe all kindsa crazy shit if you’re a dumbass, I guess.
if you ask your inner voice are you me does it respond yes

It’s definitely not me. I don’t know who that guy is.
In grad school, when I first began to seriously read Aristotle in Greek, my feeling was that he was the smartest person I’d ever read. It’s humbling to encounter an ancient thinker in their own idiom & truly experience the fact that they were every bit as capable as us. https://t.co/X3VmxF5I2i

I can’t read ancient Greek and I’m not that much into Aristotle, but I think Archimedes was likely the smartest human being to ever live. I don’t think it’s even that close.
Any one of the things Archimedes did would make someone a genius; old Archy did dozens of them in all sorts of disparate fields. It’s like if someone today solved fusion while moonlighting as a chip designer with a side hustle as a SpaceX lead space flight engineer, all while winning a Nobel prize in physics in a completely separate field than all of those other pursuits.
With the possible exception of von Neumann, there has never been another human like Archimedes.
And don't forget the Gridiron Superspreader event a month ago that resulted in zeros of deaths! Seriously though, that there have been no serious outcomes among the 80+ ppl infected is newsworthy itself, and yet it completely fell off the radar.

Yeah, that was a big nothing. Like most Covidian panics.

I don’t believe China’s “Covid” strategy has the first thing to do with Covid. I believe it’s about harming Western economies more than it harms them (which is likely). As realpolitik, it makes perfect sense.
‘Pod living’ sees 14 people living in one home for cheaper rent.
I will not live in the pod and I will not eat bugs.

If you think that your data showing when you last menstruated isn't of interest to those who are about to outlaw abortion, whew do I have a wakeup call for YOU.

Lots of women gonna bet big, bad surprises when the police show up at their doors in red states. It’s gonna happen, and soon.
What a country.

LOL.
To me, the gross thing about all these woke circumlocutions for the word “woman” is that they veer pretty close to the old slur “c*nt”. I realize you can’t hear it this way if you’ve bought into the fiction that men can menstruate, but for those of us who haven’t this is the vibe https://t.co/liRngo2ugb

I’ve had similar thoughts. I think the trans movement (and associated deeper covert movements) believed that if they could convince people that women don’t exist and that biology isn’t real, they could get away with anything.
They were wrong, and the backlash hath come.
It's very cool that libs are now just openly calling proponents of Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage and other progressive priorities "extremists."
Really great discourse we got going here. https://t.co/ZbsfV4Fyo5

That has been building for a while. You’re now an “extremist” if you think you or anyone should care about other people at all.
I can’t stop thinking about how Alito says a right to bodily autonomy can’t be a right because it allows drug use and sex work. Or you could, you know, bite the bullet that autonomy is one of our natural unenumerated rights and reconsider whether those should be illegal at all 🤔 https://t.co/3dcXxuFk2N

The US is moving in a very bad direction. I’d guess full fascism by 2028 here, if not by 2024.
google in 2022 is dogshit bc if i want to search "check mouse dpi" it comes up with 10000000 AI-driven tech blogs of which the content is eighteen paragraphs of:
What is the DPI Mouse?
Many people would like to check their DPI of mouse. The DPI of a mouse is the dots-per-second— max 🐀 (@max_oats) May 4, 2022
It’s not completely Google’s fault, but much of it is. The web is no longer serving us, not even does it have much to do with us directly. We serve the algorithms and they rule all.
