Well, anything would be better than the actual book. I’ve read coloring books with more depth and insight than GEB.

I had to explain this to a super-fundie Christian girl in high school. We were both 17.

The first ten on today’s playlist:

When you know nothing about Taiwan or how Taiwanese people feel about China but need to make stuff up to maintain your anti-Western worldview. https://t.co/Vhbhk8F6mv

What the fucking hell happened to Ian Welsh and Caitlin Johnstone? I barely know a fucking thing about Taiwan and I can’t even state how absurdly clueless her take is here.

Can’t believe I used to respect those people.

I like this photo too:

Thinking of King Cape Gilette's (inventor of a safety razor system, co-founder of the Gilette company), and his strange and wondrous #solarpunk utopia (1894) where all of the US would live together in one huge city, with one publicly owned company, powered by Niagara falls pic.twitter.com/fJH8h1IJbS

Can’t have big ideas anymore. Even the little, easy ideas dipshit mooks say they are “impossible.”

The universe is ours for the taking. Let’s get started.

Dear boomers, you didn’t give a fuck when the cost of rent or tuition skyrocketed, why should we give a fuck if inflation destroys your retirement savings? Just get a second job, stop eating out, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps…

Yep. Why would Gen Z (especially) care at all? Schadenfreude inbound.

Donuts: the devil’s pastry or Satan’s pastry? No wrong answers here, friends.

Foul things. Very foul things.

Most men being “obsessed with sex” is in reality men wishing they didn’t have to be rejected a million times, jump through a trillion hoops, to usually end up having sex with someone who isn’t even very good at it.

That’s the truth right there.

That only increases my enjoyment.

For sure. You listen to antis long enough and it becomes clear a lot of them would be absolutely fine with the death penalty for fornication (with a straight male exception, natch). https://t.co/J1xSsA4Mph

Many evangelicals would indeed be just fine with the death penalty for women for having sex outside of marriage. I’ve heard it said in person, so don’t even argue here. I lived among those nuts.
