As a millennial with four boomer parents from whom I am not even a little bit estranged, the one little trick that works is that my boomer parents don’t suck 🤷🏻‍♀️

And it's really no wonder they've gone all in on a technology rooted in lack of consent either

Sometimes I think I'm inured to how dumb politics can get and then they try to go after somebody for being a vegan because he ate something with eggs and cheese on it

The NYT knows who these people are when they sit down for a friendly interview with them. If they don't agree with their ideas, at the very least they have a vested financial interest in keeping them in the public discourse.

This is maybe mostly applicable to "concert music" whatever that means, but what I try to stress with my students is that the only wrong decision they can make is one that doesn't do what they wanted it to do, given we're basically working in a post-genre kind of space

Not to overstate the obvious, but the reason you're not hearing effusive praise for Zohran Mamdani from the Roman statue profile pic brigade right now is that they could give a rat's ass about wEsTeRn CuLtUrE and only really care about reinforcing white supremacy

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

Obviously galling but also weirdly encouraging that pretty much all the people who are consumed by a howling desperation to be seen as our betters have the emotional and moral intelligence of an amoeba

You'd think I'd be used to it by now but I'm always a little bit taken aback by every new piece of evidence that the country is just being run by a cabal of fucking freaks

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

That's exactly the point of the piece though, there were plenty of people who imagined it. We were dismissed as hysterical alarmists.
