So Briahna Joy Grey, Jill Stein voter, invites me on her podcast “Bad Faith.” My friends tell me, “Don’t do it, Bad Faith is known for being bad faith.” I say I’ll do it anyway because, 1 losing debates to bad faith people is an integral part of my artistic process and 2,

I’m frustrated that most leftist influencers won’t even talk to me like a human being. They just treat me as a discursive object they can disingenuously accuse of genocide for views and clicks. So, I appreciate the opportunity to actually discuss.

I do the podcast, lose the debate as usual. Fine. Briahna is smart, like 10x smarter than male leftist influencers who get 100x the recognition she does. Typical. She’s personable, even invites me to hang out later. I think, like a dumbass: maybe this can actually be productive.

“Gender criticals” like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the wizard one melting down over two non-trans women boxers makes me wonder if they’re not the expert-sex-identifiers-who-can-always-tell they claim to be

Their gender ideology commits them to the idea that there are two sexes, so they can’t really admit the concept of intersex—they have to decide if it’s a male intersex or a female intersex (and therefore man or woman). I don’t even know if either of these boxers are intersex (and presumably neither do the GCs since they’ve all assumed “it’s a man”).

clearly the real issue for these people is the optics of a more masc woman “beating up” (yes that’s what boxing is) a more femme woman, which reminds them of heterosexual violence. and the femme one is also, you know, white. and crying. jeez. maybe they think it would be safer for women to avoid such undainty activities in the first place? (I mean yes it literally would be safer, maybe boxing shouldn’t be a thing at all but that’s a different question)

Any explanation of why people are trans that fits in a tweet is wrong. It’s like saying “male homosexuality stems from an overbearing mother.” You sound like a rube.

I like to self-psychoanalyze and speculate about why we are the way we are. It’s too bad that it’s impossible to have these conversations in public because most people even posing the questions are bad-faith weasels seeking to pathologize queerness.

So we end up resorting to brute non-explanations like “born this way” to shut those people down. Why are people gay? Why are people trans? “Because they are. Shut up.” It’s not intellectually satisfying but it’s politically necessary.

It’s really easy to caricature the anti-electoralist left as online misanthropes whose politics is “firebomb a Walmart” and then not firebombing a Walmart. It would help to dispel that myth if they were more vocal about what specifically their methods have achieved.

We’re all frustrated that the Democrats aren’t stronger, more effective, further left, savvier about strategy. But the Democrats can at least point to some significant accomplishments in the last 4 years—a major climate bill, infrastructure investment, nominating Justice Jackson

What has the anti-electoralist left accomplished in the same timeframe? I remember in 2020 a lot of mutual aid funds going around for protestors and people hit by the pandemic. That counts as an achievement. What else? Anything on the level of influence as a major climate bill?

The Twitter Tár-defenders have me questioning my own taste and sanity, so I’m about to sit down for a third viewing and try really really hard to like it this time.

(Patreon Tangent coming soon, I was going to do it tonight but spent the whole day removing 40 gallons of water from various rugs/electronics/hardwood floors so not feeling up to it)

The main argument I’m seeing on Twitter is that OBVIOUSLY this is a dark comedy, OF COURSE Lydia is a hack fraud buffoon we’re all supposed to laugh at. So I’m going to try to view it again with that interpretation in mind.

@LGUS

Because of LG's incompetent delivery tech & extremely slow customer service, my washer just dumped ~30+ gallons of water onto the third floor of a 19th century townhouse, causing I have yet to estimate how many $thousands in damages @LGUS @LGUSSupport

@LGUSSupport

Would like to speak to the manger's manager's manger today please @LGUSSupport and to legal tomorrow. Like, there's a waterfall going down two flights of stairs, water pouring through the ceiling lights below.

I SENT YOU THIS ON WEDNESDAY
