I feel like the threat of someone putting your trash together at the land fill and stealing your identity was way less of a problem than folks made it seem.

Leverage saved the refs today. It was definitely appropriate that the colts won due to a penalty.

When there is an absence of good faith, those that have it will seek it. I have a deep love for logical compelling argument and debate (which is itself having a moment). But debating in bad faith is just pissing in the wind. They’ve lost us not the other way around.

Had a con friend come to me weeks ago and kind of mansplain to me why what I'm saying falls on deaf ears, mind you about Kilmar Garcia on Facebook. What followed was a mansplination of right wing conspiracy theories. Apparently Pelosi purposefully didn't bring in the natl guard during J6? 🧵 (1/8)

It’s wild that more likely than not, Purdue will pull a Florida and win nattys in both football and basketball in the same year. Was it the same year for Florida or just close?

Love Tool so much. I’d say my favorite bands are Radiohead and my morning jacket but tool is 3rd. Fabulous live. I’m pissed I slept through and didn’t make the Puscifer / Perfect Circle / Primus show a couple months ago. It’s on my calendar! I feel my favorite song would be good for yoga

I agree on the last part, relationships take constant intense maintenance. I don’t agree with the first part. You can absolutely cheat without being dissatisfied and my 🔥 take is that doesn’t even make you a bad person. It makes you a mistaker which is all of us. Depends on the sitch of course

Would love to expand on medium hard. Is it all the things folks on say TikTok do to get around negative algo signals by overlaying videos with likes and showing them mirrored? Like you said, the same video / angle seems straight forward with some low effort thumb printing type approach.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
Of course it is! We agree on the other parts. Humans make mistakes every day. This is a massive one. But being driven by passion is a different part of thought than the one that drives “being good”. Accidents happen and it doesn’t have to be the end of all things, and we should say that more.

Was thinking of Ezra earlier I envision his ilk sitting down and thinking “how will I change the world today” and somehow it just keeps on being “I guess by placating and normalizing extremist views and actions to bring us together, I’m so good at this”. A fog of smug washes over. And scene.

My wife and I are writing a book about this and my place on the Kubler Ross change curves says a lot about my ability to have this 🔥 take.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech)
My 🔥 take is that while we should not glorify cheating (on your SO), we should turn the pressure to change your life over it way, way down. We are animals being lead by this weird meat computer. And experiencing other humans is awesome. Does slippage have to destroy a family?

And like, how do you win against a religious zealotry like that when our side is WELL AWARE that we don't have the folks to meet the moment (I see you Pritz, Mamdani, and even Newsom). We probably have to start faking it folks. I might put up the Pelosi locker room sign.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
I can't think of a single left talking head I'm like "man I can't wait to hear this guy's take" cause our talking heads are all cowardly centrist dweebs wonk gods. I do care about the randos I've followed on this website that aren't brain friend focus group zombies like our talking heads.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
Half of our side thinks the Dems are the party of evil and nonsense too! So they trust, respect, and believe their talking heads and believe every word, literally. There's no depth to it. Words are said, and they take them as gospel. If someone throws in a bible verse, they're lionized for life too
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
Another guy commented on my Facebook post of my Charlie Kirk essay in response to someone that pointed out that Kirk spewed hate, this guy said that the reason Trump was voted in was because cons are fed up with evil and nonsense. And we all know that the GOP is the party of evil and nonsense.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
Same guy tried breaking up with me about my essay on Charlie Kirk, saying "his body's still warm" - because I said he was as bad guy while saying we should not kill or tolerate violence against our neighbor (he thought I was literally talking about my neighbor Mac). So they're more literal too.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
But what the right can't comprehend is the left doesn't believe or respect any of their leaders. We hate everyone. The Dems suck and we all know it. Some of us would rather willfully vote against our own interest to own ourselves. It's wildly different than the right experience.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
The Pelosi nonsense is [explained on Snopes](www.snopes.com/fact-check/p...). Lead me to think what differentiates us? And it comes down to belief and respect. The right believes and respects their leaders, so they expect me to be tapping my Nancy Pelosi sign on the way out the locker room.

My wife is a force of nature. She owns any room she walks into. Not because of her stunning beauty, but because of her omega level mutant ability to engage with other humans. Every person she meets without fail says some version of “I just feel so comfortable talking to you.” And she loves me back
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
She’s frightening in beauty, presence, and temper. She’ll fight for you and you’ll be lucky for it. She cries with each client she visits, because no one hears them and knows their troubles. She does. She cried with me this week, because we are together in ours. I’m lucky in love.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
She takes calls at any hour from those who might seek to take their own life, because she has been there, and she’ll tell you all about it. Not for her. For you. She joins every board she can, not for her resume, but to help. And I get to bring her ice water at night.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
She has a preternatural relationship with animals and they feel the same way. In a word now owned by the youth, her aura out shines all. But not for her. For those around her. For our children and dogs the most. And I get to be at the center of it with her.
Brent Rager (@rager.tech) reply parent
She is an extreme empath, and has a limited amount of social energy. Being around people drains her battery because she cannot help but hear everyone. And be thoughtful of everyone. And be there for everyone. She seems extroverted but she prefers to be at home in bed. Next to me.

Right or wrong, left or right, up or down, we are all parts of families and all have loved ones. Do not escalate. There is no glory in killing your neighbor, no matter how much you disagree with their viewpoint. Find love.

There are people in this world who unfortunately make it their life's work to divide us. Most of them are insanely rich. This is where my heart is when I speak out for immigrants. We are all the same. We are all trillions of cells pretending in unison to be a person.

Our country is poised on the edge of total ruin. Do not arm yourself. Do not align yourself against your neighbor. Do not plan to do harm. Find love. Find it in everyone. Find it in the person across the political aisle that had a different upbringing and life than you did.

There are many bad people of all walks of life. Liberal, conservative, right, left, Palestinian, Jewish, Ukrainian, Russian, American, Venezuelan, male, female, transgender, young, and old. All of them were loved by their family and none of them deserve to die, save the most heinous of bad actors.

May we have civility in this moment. 🧵 (1/n) Charlie Kirk was a man who made it his life's work to say things that were designed to enrage and hurt other people, while deliberately doing everything he could to personally add gun powder to the powder keg of a country. I think he was a bad person.
