I’ve been thinking a lot about Bo Burnham’s Inside again

This feeling, this steady formless feeling that hangs over everything, this untamable aimless urgency, this sense that all of this is going to burst at any moment, it just has to, it can't sustain like this, not with this much speed, not with this much force-the fear of what will happen when it ends, when it hits the brick wall. And the other fear, the deeper fear, the unspeakable fear of never hitting the wall, of this feeling never ending, never slowing down, but rising forever, like a shepherd's tone-an endless and pointless climb toward a terrible and dense Nothing.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

This describes Southeast Ohio, a region of profound beauty and profound poverty. The number of “leftists” who don’t believe me when I say people there have no Internet, no cell service and unpaved roads astounds me. What’s even worse is their dismissive attitude when I say they should be helped.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

My wife has been on a news & social media blackout since last year, so every now and then I drop a little context-free morsel of How It’s Going. The other day it was “Tetris has threatened the White House, that’s where we’re at now.”

"This government hates us and wants us dead," Kathleen Hanna remarked during Bikini
Kill's set. "They don't give a shit about anybody's healthcare. They don't care if we're dying in parking lots of curable illnesses.
They don't give a shit. They don't care if our rights are taken away. They're ripping people off the streets. I'm not gonna tell you all the bad things! But I am gonna say it makes it hard for me in my body sometimes to have a good time. 'Cause it's hard to turn it off. And I was thinking that on the way here. I was like,
'What a gift.' What a gift we have to be able to play for you. What a gift Olivia has given all of us to do this festival.

Hey, fellow #TTRPG fans — out of curiosity, do you struggle with any of the following? 1️⃣ Creating detailed characters 2️⃣ Creating detailed backstories 3️⃣ Creating detailed settings I’ve heard anecdotally that these can be stumbling blocks for some people, but I’m curious if that’s true.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
