1) I created a Substack
2) In the honor of his ongoing funeral, I wrote an article about Ali Khamenei summarizing my feelings about him. I would appreciate if you read it and tell me what you think. Link in the first comment.

Don't believe things you read about me online. I absolutely had nothing to do with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

Pennywise the Clown is a major problem. Which is why most companies have an IT department.

If Dems win the Senate, will Republicans have time to swap Alito with another judge before the new Congress swears in? Especially if the control comes down to Alaska and it's not clear for two weeks

I'm genuinely worried that we might be governed by a certifiable literally insane leader in the future. Losing his entire family, getting severely wounded, months of complete isolation in the bunker, and having almost absolute power thrusted upon him. It can happen.

These are my 9 favorite albums. Might seem incoherent, but I just want to be honest. These are the albums that I listen endlessly to on repeat and never tire from them.

Trump's true calling was being the chairman of Tehran city council. All they do is change names of places.

Nah, there's no reason to treat other cultures with respect. It's regressive to think that cultures deserve automatic respect.
other cultures shouldn't be treated like a sacred cow, yet they should be treated with respect.
except that people even remotely give a fuck about the very concept of cultural appropriation in a very limited amount of cases.

Cultural appropriation is a nativist backward idea and hand downs the worst idea considered "woke". No, people can't and shouldn't dictate how others engage with the ideas of their culture. Cultural exchange and adaptation and updates are good.

People are responding to these conservatives (that's what they are) "Oh it's reasonable for you to dictate how people modernize your folklore but believing in curses is a bridge too far", no it's not reasonable, in fact believing in curses is much more reasonable

I simply refuse to believe that. I have never seen anyone completely cut off their parents for minor reasons. What I've seen is the parents at the other end mischaracterize things to make them appear minor.
This hasn't hit South Asians yet as far as I can tell. There are obviously good reasons in extreme cases to cut off your elders, but it generally seems like a sad byproduct of individualism & therapy culture.

What Twitter has taught me today: Zohran Mamdani is a Jewish puppet and a Zionist who loves Hamas and wants to destroy Israel

Would you cancel me if I married a mad scientist woman who's genetically engineering scorpions to be efficient at killing people?

Are there any ideas you changed your mind on 360 degrees (i.e. you ended up on believing the original idea but after changing your mind to believe in other ideas including the opposite idea)

It's preposterous that people blame me for how my daughter turned out. I abandoned her when she was a baby. How can I be held responsible for how she was raised?

At the beginning I was mystified how there are so many " former gifted students" online but recently I looked up how they determine it and it cleared up. You're basically "not very stupid"
