Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

"I guess my goal as a prose stylist is sort of to be a transsexual gay Larry McMurtry" isn't really a viable pitch for me to throw to literary agents, but I'm keeping it in my back pocket

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

X still has an outsized influence for its size but only for an ever shrinking and sadder group of people so now I have to seriously hear about someone we made fun of for a bad orgy flow chart being at the center of the eyes wide shut cult but for people that pretend to know about computers.

for the problem of manufacturing in the u.s. doing deranged versions of Lean look no further than my job where today i missed a $3,000 quality mistake out on the floor, because: we have almost no production staff and i was helping on packaging instead of minding the fucking order flow :)

This part stuck out to me because a) yeah, gaining critical mass to normalize bigotry has been the goal of the anti-trans side the entire time and b) that's a crazy thing to say anonymously
A Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told The Sun the breakthrough for Democrats using more anti-trans language came last year, when Rob Sand, now the Democratic nominee for governor in Iowa, was asked by a conservative radio host whether he thought transgender girls belonged in girls’ sports. Sand responded with a simple “no.” The strategist said the moment immediately circulated among party political strategists.

“Rob Sand just did it, and it was fine,” the strategist said. “There’s power in numbers, and all you have to do is tell these people that you have the majority opinion. And then you can just say it.”

How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers
But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

crazy how you can be "fine" and then get to the title-invoking line on "Kinda Dark" and feel like you have to hold perfectly still or it's a 50/50 shot you'll just start screaming in the car

It’s really funny that there’s an entire economy of “if you haven’t experienced this deeply mediocre cultural object you’re living in a bubble” pieces because 100/100 of them are basically an advertisement for how awesome the bubble is.

This is also a sign that if you like something, like music, you should try to dig deeper if you aren’t already, because the best stuff is denser and won’t float to the top. That goes for any form of media you can think of, and it’s okay.

Most of what gets to the top of the charts is mediocre in the same way that the top of the Nielsen ratings is CBS procedurals that your parents watch. You shouldn’t dismiss those things outright because sometimes something good gets through, but it’s largely mid because that’s what has mass appeal.
