    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.

    Nicole Kidman says that you can keep your childhood blankie until you're 85, "there's no medal for giving it up" Nicole Kidman: "I always say to kids... your comfort is your comfort." Nicole Kidman: "If you need to keep your blankie till you're 85, you keep your blankie. There's no medal for giving that up." Nicole Kidman: "Who says you have to be this sort of perfect grownup? You're allowed to have these things."

    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 good things about the rise of the DSA has been that it's more or less completely nullified the US Green Party - a deeply shitty organization - among young people.

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

    William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social
    climate change is real. all costs of beating climate change must be born by other people, who produce emissions purely for fun, unlike the emissions I produce, which are all life or death necessities

    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.

    That "cringe" nonbinary xenogender genderfuck therian who uses neopronouns and may or may not go on HRT while being loudly, proudly themselves will always be more revolutionary and subversive than a binary trans person who aggressively reproduces the cis status quo and shames anyone who doesn't do the same.

    I will not stand for progressive rock being ignored like this

    Guys, rappers obviously aren't the modern bards, you don't have to say this. Literally zero modern musicians are famous for singing hours-long stories, and that's fine.

    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 profoundly noticeable symptom of extremism (both left and right) is an inability to enjoy things anymore.

    Everything must be measured up against your ideal worldview, and it is evil if it falls short one iota.

    This is a recipe for misery.

    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.

    This. People who "hate tech," when you listen to their complaints, largely just hate what billionaires in tech are able to get away with.

    So let's stop letting them get away with it.

    Cole @misthiosx.bsky.social
    I’d rather we just prosecute the bad actors in the tech space. There’s more than enough to go after Elon and Zuck and throw the book at them. I’d hope the fear of actual consequences would make the rest of SV think twice before deciding to be evil; I trust more in that mechanism personally.

    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

    There are a lot of cis people who will be more accepting if this is the case

    Meh. Don't negatively polarize yourself into defending the IRGC.

    Trump's obviously the aggressor, but this war is all a bunch of evil far right fuckers duking it out, especially once you consider Netanyahu's in the mix too.

    A big problem in AI discourse on social media is the disconnect between people who think of Google Search AI Overview when they think of AI and people who think of Fable 5 when they think of AI

    These last two sentences are key and explain so much.

    The people I know who are genuinely thriving from AI use are people with natural intellectual curiosity. Instead of outsourcing thinking, it removes friction to acquire new knowledge.

    atticus goldfinch @atticusgf.bsky.social
    I think it may get worse. But the old skillset was being able to look anything up, find any backing source, and judge its quality. The new skillset is using AI to do those things, and judging its quality. Motivated learners have never been better off. Unmotivated ones are walking into a hazard.

    Reactionaries: there should be no "DEI," the job should just go to the person who is best for the job

    Chris Nolan: got it, well, Lupita is the best Helen, and Elliot is the best Sinon

    Reactionaries: NOOOO, NOT LIKE THAT, UR SUPPOSED TO THINK CIS WHITE PPL ARE ALWAYS BEST

    The Odyssey better win Best Picture There are films that mean more to me on a personal level, but that was one of the most flawless and masterful executions of cinema of all time, hands down Fuck the losers bitching about casting, everyone killed it in their roles

    One of the most vicious online dogpiles I've ever got on social media was me saying in 2019 that, while I enthusiastically support M4A, we shouldn't ban private care because Republicans would use it to block trans people from getting gender affirming healthcare

    Historians will remember the day that Ben Shapiro gave The Odyssey a glowing review while using Elliot Page's correct name as when New Woke decisively won the Great Culture War, even if there were still many a great battle before MAGA would surrender

    This type of thinking is reactionary romanticization of the past, not all too different than one of the driving factors of MAGA.

    We live in a world of freaking miracles with more coming out every day.
