Crashing into cars is OKC's Omelas. Except instead of torturing a child to have a utopia, we crash minivans into vape shops to preserve the conditions for crashing minivans into vape shops. It's a delicate balance.

Jamie Loftus's hotdog book is excellent, if you're looking for some inspiration!

Came here to post this exact article. I've been wanting to post it in response to every single quote of this original post that I've seen.

I think something has to have changed recently, either with Instagram content moderation or sex account tech. I have a public-facing Instagram and I've been getting interactions from fake sex accounts multiple times per day lately, whereas before recently I'd get a handful per year.

So if all right wingers don't believe in climate change, you can't do honest journalism on it because that's political. If right wingers reject basic educational facts, you can fail them because that's political.

There is a certain kind of braindead thought that is common in the US, which is if the effects of something fall largely along political lines, that process must be political and therefore is off limits in liberal society (see journalism, the enforcing of laws, education, religion)

Businesses should be eligible for a write off on their 2026 taxes for how much money they have effectively spent paying people with true crime brain to talk about this case, and paying people to not work because they are distracted by their true crime brain coworkers trying to talk to them about it.

I'm imagining a 19 yr old leftist getting yelled at to read this book and then upon doing so they're like surprised at how much knowledge of British rave culture they have to know to be a Marxist.

Journalists are constantly showing their butt and revealing that they're all completely zooted Twitter-brained and because they've convinced themselves for the last ten years that "being on Twitter" = journalism they've totally forgotten how weird it is.

Yes, we did push the make everything expensive button, but that's only because some people really wanted to. Also, yes, we are going to keep pushing it.

The amount of money wasted on Blue Yeti (crappy overpriced) and SM7b (awesome but overpriced and unnecessary for podcasts) mics in the last 10 years is absurd.

It's also that people (especially younger people) are increasingly unable to process emotions so they sublimate them to laughter in public.

The incessant laughing in every movie has made me greatly decrease how many movies I go see in the theater. It makes me so annoyed and depressed.

There's a "omg chatgpt is psychic" meme currently going around in boomer circles where you ask it to describe you and the results are "eerily accurate". If your loved one is going on about it, here's a vid from Derren Brown about the Forer Effect that you can show them. youtu.be/haP7Ys9ocTk?...

They also got way crappier as they broadened their audience. This demo on the Solid State sampler rips (even if it is a Slipknot ripoff), and is so much better than the butt rock-adjacent stuff they went on to make. youtu.be/0bJQte_Tcj0

What people don't seem to understand, as a fact or a concept, is that for most conjectures in text form, the most common and thus most likely response IS ALSO the accurate one because accurate stuff is said a lot, but this is completely coincidence.

Even though it was said by a Republican, McCain's "he's not an Arab, he's a decent family man" is fairly representative of the latent anti-Arab and generally Orientalist views of the Dem establishment.

The liberal "and such small portions"-ing (thank you @davidjroth.bsky.social for an analogy so useful and apt that I'll never stop applying it) in re: the Iran War is going to truly make lose my entire mind.

Also, a key role of taxation isn't just to fund stuff. Sometimes you simply want certain people or parties to have less money. It would be beneficial, in a democracy, to take money from the rich and bury it in the ground (though of course, not AS useful as using it for the common good).

I think this is why so many business people and the editorial class got so completely brain poisoned from Twitter back in its heyday. It was literally the first time someone had ever told them to shut up or expressed anything other than admiration (or faux admiration) towards them.

What's really annoying is that businesses seem to pick one, phone or email, and ONLY do that one. If I email a business a million times w/ no response, it is inevitable that they will instantly pick up the phone and address my issue if I call them. The reverse is also true.
