While Millennials and Gen Z blame each other for ruining society, the same monsters that have been ruining society since before we were all born are laughing their asses off. Generational divides are made up, and that’s fine until they’re weaponized to keep us fighting over complete bullshit.

The rise of "geek" fandom has been an unqualified disaster. A subculture of people who make something more of a personal identity than others do should never have become the default mainstream means of interaction with media

Tarlov is a fascist collaborator who takes money in return for legitimizing a far-right propaganda network. The show on which she appears — which advances the MAGA cause — would *cease to function* without her. She is a vital part of their effort.

Chuck Jones' Rule 8. "Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote’s greatest enemy."

The trolley problem. The road runner is on one of the trolley tracks, and Wile E. Coyote is in charge of the switch.

When he throws the switch, the trolley falls vertically through the tracks. A trick of the perspective means he is actually underneath, not beside the track, so he is flattened by the trolley.

it’s become so normal for people to disclose their rapes to appeal to people’s humanity around rape cases that we don’t think about how disgusting the need to do that is put the worst moment of your life out for public consumption, so that half the comments can call you a liar.
