“It’s far from the most important way our lives have gotten worse, but it might be the most pointless – which makes it useful for understanding so much else about a moment in history defined by breathtaking self-sabotage.”

Brand Manager getting ready for Pride Month
8 panel comic

Panel 1: Yellow guy is working on a laptop in the background. In the foreground is a Brand Manager.
Yellow Guy: “Sir, shall I put up our rainbow profile picture?”

Panel 2: Brand Manger snaps his head round and hisses “Cool your jets, Eugene. I’m checking the Profitometer”

Panel 3: Gonna do my best to explain this. We see The Profitometer. A huge machine that whirs and ticks. A digital display at the top of the machine reads “Supporting Pride equals”Beneath this display is a huge gauge with “Max Loss” on the left and “Max profit” on the right. There is a needle that is pointing exactly half way between the two extremes.

Panel 4: Close up on Brand Manager’s face. His teeth are gritted. Sweat trickles down his brow.

Panel 5: Close up on gauge. The needle remains exactly central

Panel 6: Close up on Brand Manager’s eyes. They are concentrating intensely. Also, more sweat.

Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit

Panel 8: Brand Manager screams like a football coach “GO GAY EUGENE”

I legit think the cynical promotion of this this is one of the most brazen acts of public evil I’ve ever seen because there is *no tradeoff* in any way that counts, there’s no complicated externality, it’s just fucking letting people, mainly children die for the hell of it.

I know this isn’t the intention but I think of this in connection to the work of Centers for Teaching and Learning. We are sometimes criticized for reaching the same people repeatedly instead of those who resist, ignore, or don’t have time for us. It is with the willing that our influence grows.
