ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

One of the funniest things about the oligarch group chats story is the implication that the story leaked now due to the chats falling apart from Trump tarriffs. Like people are getting disappeared and the president's son is "joking" about no elections in 2028 but it was tarriffs that triggered them

ok so!!! something I found really interesting after talking to Korean protesters was... well, it was actually me realizing something about protest in the US: protest is trapped in an unwinnable spiral about "peaceful" versus "violent" protest, and even people
who know it's dumb can't break free
