Most people have heard the quote “history is written by the winners”. I want everyone to understand that this is not some kind of metaphor. It is quite literal. Fascists always work to literally erase the artifacts that tell the history that they don’t want told.

The major problem with ESPN's football coverage is that every single "analyst" on that network assesses every single game like they are being paid to talk shit about the teams on display. Never ever do they sound like people who are getting paid to comment on something they enjoy watching.

Otherwise intelligent people having a laugh and being faux-intelligent devil's advocates. I've learned gradually to tune them out, which means that I've just done a lot of flat out ignoring people of late.

It's been very annoying, as someone with community in many countries, to listen to people elsewhere talk about the current situation like a television show that they just get to talk bullshit about as if real lives aren't being affected.

How you guys decide when to show someone grace for being a victim of the propaganda spin cycle vs calling them a blithering idiot? I can't lie. It's a decision that I struggle with quite often

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

Any conversation between Mark Zuckerberg and Joe Rogan talking about masculinity is bound to be funny as fuck. Nothing about those two gentlemen is "traditionally" masculine but here you go where we built a world where anybody can say anything and be taken seriously without justification by millions

I've really been trying to reform my relationship with social media to find the healthy medium, but it's been such a struggle. Concurrently, I'm trying to find the spot on the spectrum between awareness/involvement and apathy over current affairs. That might really be what's difficult.

We dressed up in our finest business casual, and left the club sweaty. We used to have to bring our own towel because we danced all night long and drinks were cheap and colorful and had fun names like incredible hulk. And camera phones sucked so people brought actual digital cameras into the club

I really do think that too many people are focused on critiquing something WHILE consuming it and that is severely affecting their ability to enjoy the consumption.

Crucial to recall that Black people, whose lives depend on reading undertones of situations & structures along lines of racial power imbalances, don’t require input of white people whose privilege often makes such things invisible to them. Moreso for Black women who are in a double bind situation.

What we have to acknowledge is that, left or right, many Americans are just...following a very shared belief system that looks down on anyone that isn't American.

Chomsky is famous for his phrase "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" as an example of a sentence that's grammatically correct but semantically nonsensical. Dress is a form of cultural communication and every aesthetic has its own "rules" to communicate ideas.
