The pit does the same thing for the psyche as church or a good football chant. Your soul needs a way to feel community, but it doesn't have to be deep. It can be shoving other idiots around as someone sings about not being a cunt.

My friends who don't work hospo have terrible taste in music. Had a last minute ticket for free to a local punk institution's final gig, couldn't find any takers who aren't working. Loads of people who were keen but rostered on. (Ignoring friends who don't want to be in a crowded room, fair enough.)

I get why people might want to avoid engaging with complaints in fandom. There's always going to be good and bad faith criticisms about anything in a big fandom. I don't get the people who see that and respond to complaints is by adding yet more complaints, solely about there being complaints.

#AusPol Disappearing children from the streets and keeping them isolated away from their trusted adults. Sounds like an #Epstein agenda.

In ALL CAPS, it’s the "a computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" meme, but modified. It now reads "A computer can never be held accountable and it will fail you. You were warned. You did not listen. Therefore a computer shall make all your management decisions forever.

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.

Anyway here's Lisa Duggan on Andrew Sullivan warning about the "emasculation" of the gay movement 24 years ago: "He only asks that gays be allowed to exist within this neoliberal landscape, so long as they support sentimental masculinist nationalism and challenge nothing."
This sexism, and positive regard for allthings "masculine, was sup- lemented by overt misogyny in Sullivan's New York Public Library lecture of June 7, 2001, "The Emasculation of Gay Politics." There he blamed "New Left. feminism for taking over gay organizations and in- stitutions, driving Say men into alienated exclusion. This kind of mas- culinist politics is of a piece with Sullivan's neoliberalism: He advocates a shrunken state, expanded commercial *freedoms" from democratic accountability, a civil society riven with exclusions, and a privatized, gendered, hierarchical family. He only asks that gays be allowed to ex- st within this neoliberal landscape, so long as they support sentimen- AN al masculinist nationalism and challenge nothing.'
Sulli-ro.

The only thing children prefer to outsmarting their patents is _almost_ outsmarting their patents. The cackle of a child that _almost_ beat their parent in the lowest stakes game of wits yet has joy that no adult can ever know. If they win, they need to explain how, ruining the joke. They know this.

Learning with a proven example that sticking to moral standards is better in the long run with evidence rather than blind optimism. I believed this before, and have worked this way regardless as I won't live in a world where this is untrue, but visible vindication is motivating.
