there comes a point where you have to disconnect from the news because it'll drive you insane trying to work out why no one's doing anything to stop stuff like LRP. which i guess is like saying "you should turn off the firehouse of shit pointed directly at your face", in terms of obviousness

One more example of how a personalist regime they cannot conceive of a bipartisan institution to the point they would prefer to destroy it if they cannot repurpose it to their ends. See, also, much of the rest of the federal government, our military, science, higher education etc.

the Sydney Sweeney gambling ad is further convincing me that she is one of the truest examples of an industry plant we've seen in decades. a more on-the-nose avatar of white supremacist ideology i cannot imagine. like Taylor Swift without the plausible deniability

i think covid broke my ability to have empathy for people who don't act in their own best interests... if we come to a point where there's another deadly pandemic and we get the usual suspects screaming about how they "won't comply", i kinda think we just gotta let them die this time

i think the fact that all of this is coming to light and we all have to just keep on slaving away while knowing nothing is going to be done, no one's going to be held accountable, and they're going to continue to steal from us with impunity has brought me closer to crashing out than anything else

i'm at the point where i genuinely believe the only way forward for the US is an amicable split between the conservatives and the progressives. ideally, there would be a 6 month period during which all US citizens are given $5000 and the opportunity to move to the side the want. after that... split

i'm really trying hard not to let myself become some kind of ageist, but it's getting hard not to be radicalized by the fact that every aspect of my life- personal, professional, romantic, financial- has been made measurably worse by old people who cling to power and refuse to die

i don't mean to put too much pressure on new yorkers, but my faith in the ability of the American people to self-govern, and indeed the entire concept of the electoral system as an instrument of change, hinges on the outcome of the mayoral election. nbd. dont fuck it up.

i really hate that this is becoming a recurring thought, but i'm starting to think decades of a coordinated effort to misinform the public and de-emphasize education have resulted in many (though not all!) Americans not really being equipped to participate in society, or even take care of themselves

one of the smaller things that bothers me about the present state of affairs is that it's made being an American so embarrassing. like, it was never exactly something to be overly proud of- not in my lifetime, anyway- but now, it's so much worse. the people that represent us are humiliating.

news media organizations (every organization, really) desperately need to start hiring people under the age of 35 and start putting them in decision-making positions. any organization that can't understand youth culture also lacks the ability to meaningfully report on current events

feels not great for society that no one has any money to spend on anything, but almost all the postings on most job boards are just different ways of saying "sales." employment is now begging people to buy products they don't want with money they don't have. grifter nation!

the plot of The Matrix is ostensibly about breaking free of society's constraints, but if you look at the original trilogy from the POV of the Agent Smith character, it's about how being on the Internet 24/7 will make a person violently insane, and tbh i completely get why he did what he did

a deep sense of melancholy is settling into my bones. i'm thinking about the way things end. there are parts of your life that you get used to, routines you settle into, until eventually you start to think they'll be there forever. and then, one day, they just end.

one of the key components to finding success in personal and professional life is developing the ability to take an L with grace. i think part of the reason we're living through such a moment of pronounced pain right now is that the USA is culturally uncomfortable with saying "I was wrong."

so "show less like this" doesn't actually do anything, right. it's the bsky equivalent of the "close doors" button on the elevator, it's just there to give people a little hit of the ol' placebo effect?

sometimes i get callers on my line who don't actually have a problem i can resolve, they very clearly just want to talk to someone. and it's not really in a "i just want to vent for awhile" way, it's that specific "if i can get a human on the phone, i can get whatever i want" boomer mindset

when i was in middle school, i was friends with a girl who often and insistently claimed she was an alien from the planet Pluto (which is now classified *not* as a planet, but as a celestial dwarf, but that's neither here nor there). she was unapologetically weird. i hope she's doing okay.
