Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

I hate AI for so many reasons, but the fact that it's absolute trash makes all of the other atrocities committed by billionaires in the name of AI so much more infuriating.

I mean, people have been making up shit while pretending to know everything since the we've been and to communicate, it is neither new nor useful. If you're going to destroy the planet in your 21st century bluray/SiriusXM pissing match, at least make it work!

Have you ever been reading something and can't tell if it's AI or if the author simply had no idea what they were talking about? It's painful that one of the more prevalent signs of ai use is the sheer amount of made up information is present.

There has to be a word for statements, that when said outlook, make themselves less believable; especially when unprompted. Like "I'm not lying"... Well, I didn't say you were lying and I didn't think you were lying until you said that.

I Miss My Disgusting Life with Taylor Ortega

YouTube video by Gianmarco Soresi

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Bottom line, I think Gianmarco is wrong in this instance, and that his take may be a reflection of privileges he's experienced. I don't think him being off base is a big deal, I'm still going to follow him and watch his stand-up. I think it's fine to disagree about things, or even to be wrong 🤷

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

and he's saying "why be mad about something neither of you have control over" or "nepotism exists in any field". But that is giving them both a lot of grace and I think the truth is somewhere in between.

100

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Saying 'why are you mad at the rich and privileged and not your parents for you not being both rich and privileged' is a bad take. If I try to read between the lines and give them the benefit of the doubt: she's saying "why be mad at someone for taking the opportunities provided to them"

100

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

"you could be a nepo baby if you were willing to do whatever shit job your parents do" "Anyone who's mad at nepo babies, I go, get mad at your dad". I don't know *exactly* what they are thinking, but at face value this sounds dangerously close to classism.

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

There is a big difference between pulling up the ladder behind you and making an effort to help other people up the ladder. Being the neutral position between those two things where you acknowledge your golden ladder but don't do anything to extend aid to those outside your family isn't enough.

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Even in my own industry (aerospace) I've seen 2nd Gen engineers that absolutely excel because they grew up surrounded by it, and coached/mentioned by parents with decades of experience. Though I don't think that acknowledging it is enough.

110

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

I agree that it's far more the case that is infuriating when a Nepo baby is bad at their job. It isn't questioned when athletes kids become star athletes, and it's about way more than the genetics.

120

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

I'm watching the whole video now for context. I love Gianmarco I think that he usually does a great job of making jokes while still exploring nuance and humanity, so I'm willing to bet that the whole clip is more insightful but I'll report back in a couple hours 🤷

020

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

For sure, with the way it's clipped I really have no clue if they are defending Nepo babies or not. They definitely didn't say in the clip "don't be upset". But I do think being upset with the system, and being upset with people who benefit from the system and continue to feed into it are the same

200

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

I'll watch the whole thing for context before I comment on her statement, but I do want to add regardless of the outcome: Just because "it's the way things are" doesn't mean you're not allowed to be upset; and telling people not to be upset about a systemic problem is defending the system itself.

"there are no stupid questions" All questions are born out of ignorance. By having the question you are ignorant. It's fine. Literally all people have questions throughout their life. Anyone who goes through life without questioning anything is clearly the MOST ignorant of all. So ask your question.

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

But I think it's VERY possible to leave open plot points for later resolution and still provide an enjoyable story the entire time. Though to your original point, some people do not understand delayed gratification and seem incapable of enjoying the interim when something is unresolved.

010

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

All of that to say that unfortunately is that due to too much inauthentic storytelling (mostly from television, but books as well) that they maybe have a chapter/episode or two of good faith wherein if it isn't still entertaining I'm not going to wait around for the resolution.

110

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

If the author is trying to set up other aspects of the story to be able to bring everything together later they either need to be direct, eloquent, or entertaining (or any combination of the above). Every page is part of the meal and I can only eat so much celery before I'm both full and unsatisfied

210

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Every part of the story needs to be intentional. I'm Anime there is a common trope of a "beach episode" and in many series it's one of the most popular episodes, not because it necessarily resolved any plot points, but because it is so enjoyable.

100

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

For me it is if they can keep my attention in the interim. If I have to struggle to pick up the book or watch the next episode then what is it for? If the author is leaving the unresolved carrot dangling to keep our interests then where are they going that's so important to leave it behind?

210

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Many of my favorite stories are so engrossing that I completely forget about the unresolved points until they are brought back up later on.

010

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I agree, I also feel that you can often tell just a few pages in by the confidence with which they go into the next part of the story. The intentionality of the language. If it meanders immediately and doesn't have a purpose I lose confidence that the author knows where they are going with the story

120

TJ Anderson @tjsonofander.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Perhaps it's what's going on in between that makes it good or bad writing. Using an unresolved plot point to make a viewer sit through an extra season of a show because you don't know what you're going to do once that singular plot point is resolved, is not good writing.
