Pittsburgh Pirates, philosophy, occasional conspiracy theorizing, a great deal of dumb posting. not much of anything but Catholic and stupid. John 21:15.
smarter people than me pin their threads at the top of their profile, and i'm nothing if not unoriginal so i'll follow suit. at the time of writing, everything broadly relates to the occult/esoterica/religion and political power, a trend which i imagine will continue.
WOW.
Mingus Reynolds of Texas Tech wins the NCAA National Championship in Wild West Mobility Shooting.
This is Texas Tech’s 11th National Championship in the sport. Is TTU a dynasty?
Here are the highlights:
Went to a poetry reading by a guy who had to ditch minor league pitching due to injury and went off to translate Virgil and Dante instead. This seems like the sort of character who ought to represent American literature
The "Icon Of The Seas" sets sail in January 2024. 5610 passengers, 2350 crew members, 5 times larger and heavier than the Titanic, 19 floors with more than 40 bars, restaurants and bowling alleys. What a monstrosity!
@BurnerDontask
It’s wild how some people still get offended if you tell them that the Rock is blasting. Like they refuse to accept it, the very idea is offensive
Does anyone else get the feeling that in 20 years we’ll be watching news clips like this the same way we watch the clips leading up to the Gulf War talking about Iraqi soldiers unplugging incubators in Kuwaiti hospitals? Will anyone feel shame for falling for blatant propaganda?
Lmao at “tuskeegee” in the green box of “acceptable conspiracies” and “government-made diseases” being all the way at the top in the anti-semitic point of no return
Basically the only professors I’ve ever encountered who took teaching seriously and were willing to critically engage w students have been either Marxists or super devoutly religious

finished "the power of ritual in prehistory" by bryan hayden which i think is an essential read for the parapolitically inclined. major implications for the study of terror, the occult, the state, the bourgeoisie and the relation between all four--i want to summarize a bit below.
funniest wikipedia pages are the ones for conspiracies where it says in the intro like “this has been fully debunked and rejected and everyone knows it’s absurd except for the completely insane” then the body paragraphs are like “the conspiracy is true, but really what is truth?”
Being male is so awesome cause you can talk to schizophrenic dudes on the street and they’ll tell you about 80’s baseball and assassinations instead of how nice your ass is
Analytic philosophy types love making fun of continental philosophy for being all incomprehensible nonsense, then half of analytic philosophy is like “Imagine that there’s a secret color ‘Gru’ that’s green when you see it and blue when you don’t. All emeralds are Gru.”
The most important lesson from Pinochet and Franco’s regimes should be recognizing that fascism is never meant to last. The entire point is to return to “stable” liberalism as soon as possible—the “thousand year reich” is just mythological rhetoric.
I honestly have a lot of respect for those weird marketing efficiency grindset guys who use their demonic powers for good. Like figuring out how to nip every music copyright case in the bud is the least likely outcome here. Dude’s like an intellectual property Merlin.

It was technically against the law for me to do it but it was a small family-owned store that had health inspectors in like 3 times a year, minimal risk in me operating the stuff
Just found out about this game from 1987 where the Soviet national team scrimmaged UNC in basketball, and a bus full of NC State students went to the game to cheer for the Soviets. Heroic
it was amazing to me when i learned how particularly unread americans are among wealthy nations. like they say that normal russians can quote pushkin and shit, we really are just particularly culturally malnourished
@dklmarxist
It’s kinda bizarre how normalized it is for dudes in committed relationships to just jack off to other girls on a daily basis, girls are 100% justified to be mad about that
@dklmarxist
Imagine the lives of the people who spend hours just drawing new Wojak variants to more accurately depict their self-loathing cuck fantasies
Feels pretty disgusting that the whole apparatus that is enabling the daily killings of hundreds of civilians in Palestine is now all coming together to condemn “political violence.” Just nice apolitical violence for us, thank you!
As someone who’s never listened to chapo, it’s really interesting realizing over the past few days that all the twitter communities I’m somehow part of except for Pirates twitter basically were built around Chapo
We're rapidly moving towards a point where robots write literature while humans flip burgers and push shopping carts. This is the most pathetic dystopia, humans do the monotonous labor while AI does everything that makes life meaningful.
18-year-old brother told me about a gambling app he uses that lets you sportsbet with fake money before you’re 21, so long story short they’re literally just preprogramming teenagers to be gambling addicts
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the focus on who “is CIA” is mostly just a distraction from the fact that all mainstream American culture today must come from bourgeois educated people, and their families will inevitably have those intelligence connections.
@gracecthdralprk
David Foster Wallace was apparently planning a short book on porn in the late 80's which eventually fell apart, would've loved to see his take on that. But would be impossible to foresee how all-encompassing porn would become in the future.
This author is canceling a book set in the Soviet Union because of people telling her it’s inappropriate to publish a book set in Russia rn. NPR libs are literally living in a new Red Scare and cannot comprehend that they’re the only people feeling it.
@jesuslasupajew
Almost every song with “rock” in the title is one of the worst songs ever. Old Time Rock and Roll and I Love Rock and Roll gotta be like bottom two songs of all time
Both regimes transitioned to average liberal democracies without violent opposition. Fascism was just a temporary condition of normal capitalism in the face of a legitimate threat to the status quo.
@smokeismedicine
I wish I had this when I was like 8 so I could write a note that says “my sister is gay” and leave it in the most obscure crevice in there
Reality Winner being a real person involved in real intelligence operations is all the evidence you need that thomas pynchon novels are entirely factual accounts of real events
Every New York post is like “are you telling me they don’t have VENUES WITH LIVE MUSIC outside of New York?” “Are you telling me they don’t have RESTAURANTS WITH SANDWICHES outside of New York?”
@uncledoomer
it’s so absurd how the Fact Checkers have convinced a bunch of people that since one particular pizza place wasn’t the central locus of a massive trafficking conspiracy, the entire theory of “there is in fact a massive trafficking conspiracy” is now invalidated
Last night, 39-year-old composer Ludwig Göransson won his second Academy Award for his score to ‘Oppenheimer’. In a heartfelt speech, he thanked his parents for giving him his foundation in music.
Saw someone saying that english teachers telling you to look at symbolism in books is a precursor to conspiracy theorizing. Unsurprising that all my enemies hate reading anything deeply
@Dakota045143812
it seems like stav wanted badly to be a Real Comedian and thought he’d never get recognized as one if he stuck with the podcast. and idk, guess i can respect it.
My uber-conservative polish Catholic grandma is just randomly Saddam-pilled. She's like "oh he kept the terrorists under control, he treated the Christians good, Bush was just a Masonic intruder." Just the most random thing
New statement from former Vice President Cheney:
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters
what’s wrong with his eyes? is this some weird flaw in the holograms or is the executive branch just on hitler-levels of amphetamines to survive the day?
Hillary Clinton and “Hamilton’s” Lin-Manuel Miranda are reportedly stepping into the spotlight for President Biden’s campaign, hosting a Broadway-themed fundraiser together.
Met the single most powerful man on earth: Chinese dude triple majoring in math (topology specialization), physics, and philosophy (with a major interest in Heidegger) who picked Abraham for his English name
to give you some basic background on the book: hayden's chief argument is simply demonstrating the validity of the secret society as an interpretative tool in archaeology, showing its omnipresence in complex society. ('complex' encompassing farmers and some hunter-gatherers)
@PYeerk
favorite comment here is “a ton of people have lost their livelihoods to lockdowns and such, but not the truckers, so why are they protesting against lockdowns?” if the bad thing doesn’t directly affect you, it’s not your problem.
Never trust a cute blonde girl dawg I was talking to this girl about her family and stuff and it turns out some great uncle or something of hers was a literal Operation Paperclip scientist
@dklmarxist
what i really hate about his music is how so many of his popular songs are just these nonsense collections of one liners with no real theme or direction. like you could put any stanza of bonfire in any random spot in the song and it wouldn’t make a difference. becomes exhausting.
People who argue in favor of teaching fiction in schools always have these idealistic arguments about how it “teaches you to be human,” which is true and good, but the much simpler argument is that learning to read fiction well is one of the most applicable skills you can get.
Lol now Reddit is saying that Putin orchestrated getting Zelenskyy to take that SS veteran into Canadian parliament. How much cognitive dissonance do you need man
