I wish we didn’t live in a world where this nearly 10-year-old essay by @brandyjensen.bsky.social didn’t still feel so relevant but it’s something i think about every time we go through one of these unbearable cycles of discourse around horrible treatment of women theoutline.com/post/6297/as...

Dear Fuck-Up: Should I apologize to the women I hurt?
Will it bring them closure or simply reopen old wounds?

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

My dad put this on mixtapes (or else Merle Haggard’s version) when i was a kid and it was honestly kind of harrowing to listen to.

Let me get this straight. Sometimes a famous person dies and everyone is nice about it? Merely because of their deeds during life?

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

Actually it was me who sabotaged the reflecting pool. It won’t reflect anymore. It will relentlessly absorb, reflecting nothing. In 6 months the sun will be a pale lukewarm husk.

Was in Portland over the weekend and saw a guy wearing an Anal Cunt t-shirt. First time I’ve ever had the thought “damn, i should have yelled ‘you’re gay’ at a stranger, that would be an appropriate thing to do.”

My cousin started referring to many situations as a “classic case” - differentiated by “classic case, mostly comical” vs “classic case, mostly devastating.” Obv the same event could be both depending on your perspective.

Ok ‘one-dimensional’ is dumb but i would say that The Wire sketches out some usually interesting characters and sets them running in this beautifully detailed system, but doesn’t do a ton to develop them beyond what the actors bring (which is often a lot!)

Much to consider
Excerpt from 1960 Horizon Magazine:

If privacy is hard to find at home, it is almost extinct outside the home. Strangers in the next seat on trains and planes are seldom given to vows of silence, and certainly the airline pilot is no man to leave his passengers to their thoughts. His jovial voice crackles out of the intercom at periodic intervals
—generally just when his listeners are dozing off—to impart the latest statistics on ground speed, cruising altitude, and cabin pressure, or to point out "an unusually clear view of Keokuk out the left window." Airplanes have also been infested by canned music, leaving the captive audience aloft no means of escaping and still living to tell the tale. Back on the ground, to find a restaurant, store, railroad station, or bus terminal that doesn't burble with unceasing melody is not easy, nor is it always possible to escape by boarding a bus or taking a walk in the park. Transistor radios, carried everywhere by rock-'n'-roll addicts, have changed all that.
If there is one place where a person might expect a decent quietude, it is his doctor's office. Yet RCA is planning a radio network that will pipe canned music and pharmaceutical commercials to 25,000 doctors in eighteen big cities. This raises a whole new criterion for choosing the family physi-cian. Better to have a second-rate healer content with the sound of his stethoscope than an eminent specialist poking to the rhythms of Gershwin.
Not even nature is a sure refuge. A plan is now afoot to project advertisements on mountainsides and low-lying clouds. Then there are the roars and vapor trails left by jet

Pretty solid prediction from 14 years ago
Lyrics to Careers in Combat by Parquet Courts:

There are no more summer lifeguard jobs.
There are no more art museums to guard.
The lab is out of white lab coats,
Cause there are no more slides and microscopes.
But there are still careers in combat, my son.
There are still careers in combat, my son.
There are no more roles on TV shows,
There are no road-cone dispensing jobs.
There are no spots left for park ranger
Cause there are no bears left to save you from, But there are still careers in combat, my son.
There are still careers in combat, my son.
