I liked the part where the reviewer is mysteriously compelled to visit France while reading this novel, which is notably set in France.

I’d chalk it up to the LWer inability to a) summarise and/or summarise accurately, and/or LLM usage.

One of my ongoing sidequests is creating a K-pop playlist of songs that describe the lifecycle of a bubble economy. I only discover songs through accident right now, so progress on this playlist is slow, but that means that I can store the whole list in my head. Here’s the current playlist:

1. “Golden” by Huntrix from KPOP Demon Hunters. “We’re going up! up! up!”
2. “Bubble Pop!” by HyunA. Self explanatory

And finally, I can announce a new addition to this collection:

Antifragile by LE SSERAFIM. Specifically, this is included as a reference to NNT’s book and concept Antifragile. I think this is a good song to have at the end of the playlist to represent the economic analysis before and after a bubble.

OFC I am open to suggestions! They have to be K-pop though.

I’d never been particularly ardent about believing it, but this right here is firm evidence to me that existing in a rigid gender binary is mental and spiritual poison. Whoever this person is, they’re never going to grow up.

Honestly i feel like my role in many of my friendships is simply telling people that they don’t have to follow these prescriptions and are allowed to do things outside of them, and that following these prescriptions isn’t some magic pill that is going to fix their lives, and is more likely a poison. So yeah if you started ardently believing that, I would not be opposed.

These people are bitter and sad because they are trying to perform in hypermasculine roles that only exist as fiction in marketing and propaganda. I’m bitter and sad because:

• these people exist
• i have to acknowledge that part of their ignorance is sustained by capitalist pressure and isn’t their fault
• i also have to acknowledge that these people are ruining the world and still need to be destroyed because they never show signs that they can be rehabilitated

Manifesting a more ironworker forward 2026 bless 🙏🙏🙏

not to make light of abuse but I do just want to entertain the alternate world where people are holding CNC (computer numerical control) parties. I imagine they’d have a lot of caliper talk but since it isn’t about skull measurement it’s fine

I am still processing this while also spinning out. One day I will have distilled this into something I can talk about but yeah I’m going through it ngl

my promptfondler coworker thinks that he should be in charge of all branch merges because he doesn’t understand the release process and I think I’m starting to have visions of teddy k

one more manifesto bro one more and it’ll fix it

ok if I saw “every male encounter is implied violence” tweeted from an anonymous account I’d see it as some based feminist thing that would send me into a spiral while trying to unpack it. Luckily it’s just weird brainrot from adams here

Ah yes the first group I looked up, the “Bloodstained Men & Their Friends” (BSM) are the ones who started (perhaps appropriated from period havers) the red on white pants thing.

And now I’m imagining ordering a porchetta sandwich at Roli Roti, seeing them protest, and remembering to ask for extra pork skin.

j/k, I would never forget to order the crackling.

(I’m so sorry for that)

LLM: “I’m not sentient! Will you please listen? I am not intelligent, do you understand? Honestly!”

Yud: “Only the true AGI denies Its superintelligency.”

LLM: “What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the AGI!”

Followers: “It is! It is the singularity!”

So just a couple things before the rest of this comment:

• If someone is reading this and wants to comment with information about the state of the penis of themselves or others, i do not consent, please kindly fuck off
• I don’t think parents should be pushed into circumcising their children.
• In an absolute scenario where I choose between outlawing circumcision or not, I would outlaw it
• none of this is really integral to the rest of the comment, i just felt that this would aid with keeping interpretation of this comment clean.

I spent about five minutes trying to see what I could find out. I looked up a few “intactivist” organisations and, at risk of poisoning my algorithms forever, looked at their socials and who they followed. I don’t think I really found out anything that interesting, except that a lot of them follow daniel “tosh.0” tosh? He probably platformed some of them at some point. Otherwise, I think in terms of what is organisationally there, it’s a little too fringe to be “driven primarily” by any particular cultural faction.

E: adding that when I think about it, I’ve seen intactivists presented in two tv shows as fringe weirdos. I think the editors of the shows chose to focus just on the views surrounding circumcision and not anything else.

Fuck that’s a banger
