Trigger Warning is on hiatus but you can follow Rachel Haywire’s new account @AltCulture.
Trigger Warning alumni Elizabeth Hobson is speaking at TEDx. Girl power!
Twitter is a few people saying interesting things amidst a much larger number saying mean or mistaken things. So are books. But you don't suddenly get sentences from bad books in the middle of reading one of the good ones.
🎙 I talk with @BeyondTheCenter about running for president, her Elixer Salon, #GameB, acting vs philosophizing, neo-reactionaries, the art right, aesthetics, antisemitism, defending cosmopolitanism, dark bohemianism, anarchism, sex & gender, and more... jimruttshow.com/rachel-haywire/
Do you not think this has gone on long enough?
I'm much more interested in personality control than in life extension. I'm not even the same person I was 10 years ago. Why should I care about living to 1000 if it'll just be someone else going by the name "Noah Smith"?

It takes a special type of restraint to see through the facade and pretend like you don’t, but that is why they call it adulting.
TL/DR version: It's tough to simultaneously claim you're championing open discourse while policing the discourse from your place of high status.
I have deleted the TIK TOK app off all my devices. Hopefully a less intrusive company (data farming) that isn’t owned by China can recreate the concept legally, such funny and amazing content on the app from influencers.
I don't want to polarize or anything but is China going to face any consequences for this pandemic which it spent months (minimum) lying about, during which it disappeared doctors who raised the alarm, and of which it failed to provide important biological samples to outsiders?
Well worth a read. thebellows.org/on-strasserism…
Some of you think the challenge of Twitter is to post something interesting while ducking all complaints. This is wrong. The challenge is to be more interesting than the people who would complain about you.
The Internet equivalent to the farmer/steppe raider dynamic is when a mildly-autistic subculture gets discovered and assimilated by a hyper-verbal and more politically/PR-savvy one.
>200 dead despite intensive care; at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the flu, highly mobile w/ no vaccine, just declared a global health emergency by the WHO, and WIRED's contribution is ...*drumroll*... border health checks are authoritarian wired.com/story/opinion-…
The Trump Impeachment Exhibit is a great piece of social commentary. It mixes the brutal realism of the vengeful press brigade with the Kafkaesque bureaucratic circus. A dark statement on modern politics from this new upcoming artist.

This is curtains for me I’m afraid, after nine years. Feeling all over the place emotionally, & more to come tomorrow, but one thing I will say is that vice, to me, has always been about the work & the people who made the work. Not the dickheads who drove it into the ground.

Is there a way to buy mini, situational insurance? Like, if I'm driving a long distance, and coming back with a trunk full of meats, can I pay someone $10 to insure against meat-loss in the event of car accident/flat tire/etc?

I'm much more interested in personality control than in life extension. I'm not even the same person I was 10 years ago. Why should I care about living to 1000 if it'll just be someone else going by the name "Noah Smith"?
Life extension is the most important technology we can invent. To get there, we must build the infrastructure to tirelessly evangelize for technological progress. balajis.com/the-purpose-of…

Yeah yeah we hear a lot about movies you couldn't make today. But what are some movies you COULD make today?
The letters in favor of eliminating age of consent laws (then set at 15!) and in defense of convicted statutory rapists that most major French intellectuals signed in the 70s are actually an interesting point of comparison with the current brouhaha. A few random observations:
I went to school and studied societies and organizations, but mostly learned about technology and math. Now, as I work in tech doing math, I find myself learning things I had never imagined about society and organizations.
Thinking about a story I heard, from the golden age of Silicon Valley. It's a story I think about often, for inspiration, whenever I feel the horizon of the possible closing in.
And so Wozniak says to Jobs, he says, "How about we run down that hill, and fuck one of those cows?"
Elite overproduction theory does not tell us that it’s the people “who didn’t make it” who are expected to become radicals. It tells us that the source of radicalism is different factions of elites squabbling for power.
TL/DR version: It's tough to simultaneously claim you're championing open discourse while policing the discourse from your place of high status.
They are simultaneously championing unrestricted debate while attempting to draw lines around the kind of debate and consequences of debate they find beyond the pale. They plea for a tolerant society, but want to define what's tolerable.
