💯 An underappreciated factor in the mass proliferation of AI slop is the degree to which it's built around middle managers gaming internal metrics and bullshitting clueless bosses.

Everything is a crypto rug pull scam, from the meme coin bullshit to the AI bubble and fake apocalyptic panic and the entire stock market. One lie after another to grab as much money as possible before the bottom falls out.

To Catch A Predator was always a security blanket for the idea that there’s no threat to your kids from hearth and home, it’s all sweaty, barely-functional freaks, and I have a lot less sympathy for people clinging to that in an era when we know about Trump/Epstein/sundry religious institutions

A reminder that people who know anything about politics -- what the parties are, what they stand for, their record, who they've elected, how government works -- are a freakish minority. Most people know *nothing at all* past the vague mythologies that sift down through pop culture.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

The gobsmacklingly entitled attitude this belies of Dem leadership is why the party has been slowly dying for decades. "Vote blue no matter who" is entirely incompatible with this level of institutional hostility to primary challengers unless you WANT a corrupt sclerotic gerontocracy.

Always remember: for the vast majority of citizens, trans people are less than a non-issue. They want to be able to afford to feed their kids, not govern toilets. For all the neoliberal crowing about “much needed guidance,” on our rights, we’re a luxury problem for those who don’t have real ones.
