Mad Men is the best show ever made about how sometimes a Pete Campbell is just a Don Draper who sucks, but who, in finally confronting the ways in which he sucks, gets a shot at redemption, while that same redemption is denied to the actual Don Draper, who isn’t even really Don Draper, but is actually Dick Whitman, but who, upon having too many experiences with Harry Crane, who used to be sort of decent but is now way worse than all of them (after spending too much time in Los Angeles and having sideburns in the 60s, a common fate) decides to go for it anyway, and the show leaves unsaid whether he ultimately improves (like Stan, a guy who massively sucks at first but then gets better due to his proximity to Peggy) or is doomed to just repeat the cycle after a really good month at work. There is also a Roger Sterling in the mix. More on him another time…

It is crazy that there is still no visa bulletin for October 2026 out yet. This is possibly the most delayed I have ever seen a visa bulletin since I started working in immigration. The last time there was a massive delay like this was September 2020, which was more understandable.

Threads is an amazing place. And it's funny to use the most obvious example, but forget beatlemania, the entirety of pop music itself was directly targeted at teenage girls until the album era. After that it was 95% for teenage girls and 5% prog rock albums

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_c...
Origin of patient zero
"Patient zero" was used to refer to the supposed source of HIV outbreak in the United States, flight attendant Gaëtan Dugas in the popular press, but the term's use was based on a misunderstanding (and Dugas was not the index case). In the 1984 study of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of the earliest recorded HIV-patients was code-named "patient O", which stands for "patient out of California".
The letter O, however, was interpreted by some readers of the report as the numeral O. The designation patient zero (for Gaëtan Dugas) was subsequently propagated by the San Francisco Chronicle journalist Randy Shilts in his book And the Band Played On in 1987. William Darrow, a CDC behavioral scientist responsible for figuring out why gay men in Los Angeles were dying of a strange illness, said: "That's correct. I never labeled him Patient Zero"

I don't even think most people know that Patient Zero was a fake term invented by the media when they misread Patient O (as in Outside) as Patient 0 and then constructed an entirely fictional homophobic narrative around it that most people still accept as the truth.

Feels like we need a primer for a lot of morally rudderless people on here about when it's a good time to post "FAFO": If a guy is complaining about no farm labor and that his super duty costs $400 to fill up, that's good. When a woman's daughter has been murdered by the gestapo, that's bad.

Woke up feeling some kind of way, so I made a Music Monday '80s playlist. Nothing new or unexpected, little in the way of deep cuts: just a broad swath of what came on TV and the radio when I was trying to Figure It All Out. Jolly tunes for young and old. Don't yell at me, no one made you listen.

Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
