I am with you. The show was good when it had books to follow. Once it exhausted the source material it was just about setting up battles. Dialogue got hacky. Plot developments were hamfisted. Still good performances but there was less for them to do.

I don’t understand why I was never taught about causality.

Seems like a faulty heuristic. But if you’re picking between multiple good-enough candidates, I guess the heuristic isn’t necessarily hurting the outcome. If it’s a long search and the otherwise perfect candidate comes in with coffee though… I guess the suit thing must be industry-specific.

Alito’s legal mind is a bowl of oatmeal left sitting out for days listening to Fox News. He just has clerks to make it marginally less obvious in writing. (Only marginally.)

I admit I can't think of anything that specifically similar! And in trying to recall the examples I thought I vaguely remembered (variations on teens get into some kind of sex work business), they were most likely all straightforward comedies and not tonally similar. I was admittedly wrong there.

I feel like variations on Risky Business continue to be made. They just aren’t big budget or popular.

Tangential but similar feeling. There were notifications from the school that were always sent by phone. But the audio was a machine reading text someone had typed. Why they didn’t also send an email haunts me.

Yeah. Not just Etsy. That’s the DMCA. It makes sense insofar as Etsy (or Tumblr etc.) can’t really adjudicate legal disputes. It is ballsy and foolish for an infringer to file a false counter notice. It might be a good idea to talk to an IP lawyer. (Sorry I know it totally sucks.)

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

Presumably there’s a clutch that is disengaged allowing the wind to do its thing. Or fate has animated the machine for one final, brutal harvest.

Partly because the industry doesn’t want new stars and wants to make Ocean’s Umpteen and action movies with AARP members.

Primary season is the right time for arguments about the best way to proceed. We need to not panic about divisions at this point.

Asking us not to make value judgments about changes in culture is asking us not to have values.

The Looney Tunes example is so stupid if this is the argument. Yes let’s imagine a future where having criticized the racism makes us look foolish. Better be careful!? Insane argument
Except lots of stuff was made before 2018. To determine that almost all of it requires some sort of disavowal is to privilege the present over all other times, to assume that current standards necessarily improve upon those of the past, and to discount the reassessment that inevitably comes later. “The rest of ‘The West Wing,’ which ended its run in 2006, is still a really good show,” the writer said. “But our culture has undergone a seismic shift.”

True. But there will be many more seismic shifts; there already have been. Whatever is deemed to have aged poorly at one moment may appear healthier in another. Today’s disclaimers will then require their own disclaimers tomorrow — so how many do we want?

keithy.bsky.social @keithy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
This is baffling. Is there any argument that Looney Toons doesn’t expose a whole bunch of problematic views from the time? Why wouldn’t it be fine to talk about that?

It can be flattering in that it looks way better than it should without looking good or even okay.

We are very close to a court that will simply declare that up is down, if their party demands it. It is alarming to say the least. When Democrats have the chance they HAVE to do whatever it takes to rein in these radicals.

Also an excellent example of how people like to post their own answer even if it’s identical to most of the answers already posted (even if the sample they read is very small).

It is true that “ultra processed” encompasses a lot of unhealthy food. It is also true that there is no definition of the term that cleanly excludes all healthy foods. It can make folks afraid of “chemicals” which is not helpful when the MAHA and “natural” industry wolves lay in wait.

keithy.bsky.social @keithy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
But the challenge is less with creating accurate and comprehensible messaging and more with hacking human behavior with education because it is hard to overcome people’s relationship with food by talking to them.

Choosing to read this this way: It is extremely challenging to synthesize an endlessly complex field of rapidly evolving research into messages that sustain improvement in public health. Rejecting: people don’t know that junk food is bad for them.

I think maybe it’s not fake outrage but you have, I believe, clearly debunked the reason in this case.

I will say that MAGA has shown that humans are capable of discarding shame to an extent I could never have predicted. They revel in all sorts things that used to be muttered or whispered at best.

If you read a bit closer you’d see that it was the same person and they were pointing out a flaw in your argument that you are refusing to acknowledge. For-profit is always going to try to extract as much cash as possible from the customers.
