Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

It is honestly kinda fascinating how they’re like if the tobacco industry was like “you’re damn right it gives you cancer and that just proves smoking is the future.”

This quote is from last February. Good work sir!
"Regulations, basically, should be default gone," Musk said. "Not default there, default gone. And if it turns out that we missed the mark on a regulation, we can always add it back in."

The craziest part of David Bowie moving to Berlin with Iggy Pop to quit drugs is that it worked. Like, guy who loves drugs moving to City that loves drugs with another guy who loves drugs to quit drugs sounds like a recipe for disaster, not Heroes

The biggest downside consequences of the Meme Economy and the posting-to-policy pipeline appears to be bad policy performatively generated *for content* and shitposts being memed into actual deranged policy. This is seemingly increasingly universal across the anglosphere and the broader west

Así está el "chileno de a pie", con datos IPOM que muestran bajas en el consumo privado. El desempleo ha aumentado, baja la creación de puestos de trabajo y se mueve a la informalidad. Se empobrecen los salarios en términos reales —por la inflación— y bajan las expectativas. 👇

Going to just pick one part here to take up which is the Rousseauian notion that agriculture leads to land ownership which leads to warfare. If that were true, we'd expect non-agricultural societies (hunter gatherers especially) to be relatively peaceful. Instead, they're hyper-militarized. 1/

Last July, the pope called his bank in South Chicago. He wanted to update the phone number on his account. The teller told him that any changes had to be made in person with an ID. Knowing that was impossible, he asked: “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?” She hung up on him.

Hablan como zombies. Por qué? Porque la repetición afecta nuestras redes neuronales. Lakoff lo estudió, Quiroz dejó en evidencia la estrategia de repetir como autómata y en esta columna comento sus motivaciones. Y sí, incluyen comerse nuestros cerebros, pero de otro modo. 🧠

South Korean culture is fascinating because it's like "We make two things extremely well: Weapons and pop stars. One of these industries is the ruthless, blood-soaked byproduct of a nation whose soul was scarred by eternal war. The other is our defense industrial base, which is respected globally."

An obscure detail in early Pokemon games: In the Pewter City Pokemart in Gen 1, there is an NPC complaining that he was ripped off by a Magikarp salesman. But if you visit the same building in Gen 2, you can find the same person bragging about a Gyarados he's trained.

In seven of the 10 places that Bevins studies—Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Brazil, Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Chile—viral images of state repression intensified the protests. Whether violence took the form of police brutality or a crackdown, “the crucial spark consisted of visible repression against a particular type of citizen, against someone who was not supposed to be hurt, or be murdered.” In Ukraine’s Maidan Revolution in 2014, for instance, it was brutality against students that brought the masses into the streets, Bevins explains; in Turkey, many were incensed into action by the pepper-spraying of a woman in an instantly iconic red dress.

“Social media firms made it much easier to scale up the size of horizontal mass gatherings,” Bevins writes, “and their services also made it very likely that citizens would see disturbing imagery of states abusing their power.” But as reliably appalling as police crackdowns against mass demonstrations are, Bevins contends that their role in inspiring further action prevented the movements he surveyed from developing conceptual roots as deep as the problems they hoped to confront—outrage at the state’s violence rarely yielded to coherent shared analyses of the social, economic, and political conditions upholding the state. “It is far from clear that the most visible and affecting power dynamics are the most important ones in a complex society,” he writes. Instances of overt state repression may be indicative of what ails a society more broadly, but movements galvanized by them, Bevins suggests, often wind up ideologically underdeveloped, easy to appease, or vulnerable to capture.

The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censorship paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbara Streisand, a musician whom most "Zoomers" would probably have otherwise never heard of

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
