YIMBYism in blue states is inherently pro-trans because it makes it more practical for trans people fleeing Draconian laws in red states to move there

This is extremely based. I've accomplished a lot of cool stuff and still sleep snuggling a stuffed animal every night at 38.

What ultimately matters is your ability to get what you need to do done, not performing an aesthetic of adulthood.

The Odyssey (2026)

Went to go see SUPERGIRL. I enjoyed myself, though not as much as with last year’s Superman film. Still, these DC projects recently feel fresh after I was burnt out by the MCU.

I'm not trying to be "revolutionary" or "subversive" by being trans. I had gender dysphoria, and this is what fixed it.

I wanted to be a girl as long as I remember. I'm way happier now that I can be. I'm not trying to make a political statement about gender by existing.

oh jeez, the algorithm has me pegged way too well

I never wanna hear that goddamn "just 57 companies are responsible for 80% of emissions" factoid again

a) we've averted the worst case scenarios at this point. no, we are not all going to die, sorry if that upsets your nihilism

b) the planet is cooking because of fossil fuel use, which can and should be ended

Some trans people don't like hearing this, but your goal should honestly be to ensure that being trans is at highest like the 4th or 5th most interesting thing about you

People should read Marx's Fragment on Machines, I'm begging you.

We want a world where people don't need to work to survive. That's the ideal. Focus on reshaping the economy to ensure everyone enjoys the fruits of automation.

I will not stand for progressive rock being ignored like this

The US Green Party has shown how environmentalism, while extremely important, can easily degrade into woo-woo crankery that makes the world a worse place

"Environmentalists" are why we don't have more nuclear

"Environmentalists" are why we don't have golden rice

One of the most annoying tendencies on the left is a tendency to basically go, "supply and demand aren't real if I say 'decommodify' enough"

one of the worst mistakes people make is confusing bad mental health with radicalism

The goal should be hyper-abundant electricity that's too cheap to meter fueled by solar and nuclear

A lot of people have interpreted "it's not antisemitic to criticize Israel" (true) to mean "antisemitism is fine if it's in service of criticizing Israel" (bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD)

This idea that you should have a job simply for the sake of having a job is Protestant Work Ethic nonsense repackaged as leftism

For years, people talked about "Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism"

What did you think that meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?

People are going to assume this means AI will disappear, when something far more beautiful will happen

We're going to have AI but no OpenAI 🥹

It's a bloodbath.

OpenAI Appears to Be Missing Its Sales Goals by a Vast Margin

The company behind ChatGPT is on track to undershoot its five-year revenue projection by upward of 90 percent.

I'd rather the government spend more taxpayer money if it means we don't have screwworms in the cattle or worry about getting dysentery from eating a salad, but I'm weird like that

Autistic trans catgirls are a load bearing part of technology, and I'm not even joking
