I can't get over this. It reminds me of Emma Goldman talking about drinking really good wine for the first time and realizing that working class people should be able to access culture and goods usually reserved only for the wealthy. Good art should belong to everyone!

This is a real fuckin problem with journalism. This piece seemed mean spirited, unkind, and not really the sort of thing I would dedicate thousands of words to when people are being snatched off our streets. But the industry will go towards this kind of shit because they want the money it brings

Again, this is what Tucker says to normal audiences. To his own audience, literally today, he went on a deranged rant about, among other things, how Oswald Mosley wasn’t a Nazi.

I know, buddy, you did that during World War II. When the very first thing the British government did was imprison the opposition party, called them Nazis, which they weren't, run by one of the great war heroes of the First World War, Oswald Mosley. Oh, he was a Nazi.
No, he wasn't. If he was a Nazi, he'd be living in Britain, in Germany. He didn't want the war.
And he has been slandered ever since. It's like scary even to defend him. I'm not even defending the guy.

This thread made me realize that the first mecha pilot in The Nine Pilots of Nebula AI-0372 is no older than 20. In the thick of some of the most vicious space warfare in history, a bona fide war hero by the end, the hopes and dreams of a minority in her nation, and she is not even 21.

If I've learned nothing else from the countless grifting episodes in the You're Wrong About podcast universe, it's that the ultimate grift isn't getting rubes to buy a scammy product but getting rubes to pay you to tell them to find other rubes to sell a product to.

I know everyone wants the lesson of Backrooms to be "give young, unproven filmmakers with an original story a chance" but that isn't even how Backrooms got made.

They aren't saying "find me something like Backrooms and we'll develop it and see what happens." They're saying, "find me something that already has over a million views and a loyal audience that will show up in the theater."

Backrooms wasn't an original film when you look at it from the perspective of already having been proven as a series of YouTube shorts. It's not just movies either. Book publishers now only get interested in something that's already proven to have an audience. The appetite for risk is non-existent.

There's a lot of dunks of this that are actually driving me a little bit nuts and I haven't seen a single take about what's actually happening here. They aren't looking for the next great original indie story. They're looking for something that already has a massive built in existing audience.

Y'all don't want teens to go to the beach, ride the bus, or go to the mall. But y'all also don't want them staying home and playing video games or being on their phones or social media. So what do y'all expect teens to do? Sit silently and stare at the wall? Come the fuck on.

Newark Penn station is such a good station. Ignoring its great functionality, we don’t decorate waiting rooms like this any more. Three sides memorializing the advancement of transportation

Facing the Raymond street side. This side celebrates the advancement of sea travel. It’s very much a product of 1920s American culture, showing a progression of Native American rowboat to Viking long ship and continues right

From left, over Amtrak ticket windows, the Santa Maria, the mayflower, the clipper ship, the steamship

Facing market street, from right it’s a Native American man on horseback, the horse and wagon

Continuing from right it’s the stagecoach, the steam locomotive (with Pennsy keystone), the motor bus, and the electric locomotive (also with keystone)

Just saw something on TV about the problem at Mass and Cass in Boston. It's really not that complicated why there is a problem at Mass and Cass with homelessness. Boston used to have slums. The people who these days would be homeless used to live in the slums because it was cheap (bad) housing.
