I get why you might feel that way but I think just a fad describes use of a social media platform better than it does brain development and advances in our ability to understand it over time.

More Canadian cities should have MLB teams honestly. Like Montreal should get one back, and Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa can easily support a franchise.

Ah yes, the Opossumshoe Theory

My theory is the evil people in charge know they're evil. That's why they're obviously miserable even though they spend a lot of effort trying to convince everyone (and themselves!) they're actually having a good time

Now that the sweet numbness of Mariners fandom has set in I think it’s a great year for Canada to win the “World” Series. 🇨🇦

Just overheard 5 year old just asking his older brother how to sue Roblox

more dillon, less ice

In a parallel universe this happened to Henry Kissinger at 30 and Kirk lived to be 100 instead, allowing Kirk to just be a guy so basically everyone there is at brunch right now

That’s gone. Even future administrations will be confronted with the fact that the world knows that an illiberal, pro-authoritarian America could always be just one election cycle away.

Sounds nice and all, but if we could actually CEO our way out of a CEO prescribed healthcare and education system then Barack W Romney would’ve already taken us to that promised land.

"“We particularly chose, as the South African delegation, to join the Global Sumud Flotilla here in Tunisia from an African point to say Africa is part of this struggle,” Mandla Mandela told journalists in Tunis."

We could assume at this point the Royals will gain at least 1 if not 3 games later this month when the Mariners go to the K

Chatbots killing their users suggests that big tech has transitioned from simple parasite to parasitoid, indicating that keeping the host alive is no longer essential for their evolutionary strategy

If a broken institution harms people and that’s why we believe institutions are important in the first place, then I think we have to be willing to be ‘ruthless’ with those broken institutions.

There’s a lot being a shrink has taught me, but mostly it’s that we have to exile the profit motive from our medical institutions as soon as possible. There are so many people who would be able to use therapy as a tool to thrive and connect instead of survive and copay.

Not the sentences I was hoping to see that included the words “Netanyahu” and “lashes”.

The Cars’ most popular song is “Drive”. The Cars. Drive. I don’t think we collectively have given The Cars enough credit for how funny it is that they wrote a song called “Drive” or ourselves enough credit for it being their biggest hit.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.

I think the GOP is just a comfier home for fascism. I’m not saying Democrats are pure there, but America’s sure been blighted by fascist rot from past to present. Modern Republicans are proudly holding the baton of America’s rot, and this is what happens without a serious opposition party.

Chuck Schumer of course

Someone forgot to take down this webpage:

ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

This guy is getting desperate.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Depression? Isn’t that just a fancy word for feeling “bummed out”? 🫰👉

The system has found its scapegoat

How on earth is that 8 foot guy able to dunk?!?

When someone asks him ‘were you 8?’ and he pops back immediately ‘I was 18’, part of me wonders if a little part of him thought that would be old enough to justify the grabbing.

I think Fox News as an entity hires people and targets demographics based on the same types of childhood trauma.
