All or nothing virtue logic in social media leaves no space for actual shame. Everything you do is either Woke or Anti-Woke, no innate presence necessary.

You should watch the Mare of Easttown creator’s next limited Series Task with Ruffalo. He’s a birdist and whole plot point about vagrant birds that deviate from the path. If you haven’t seen Mare get on it, Kate Winslet disgruntled detective.

Keep an eye on the mutual straining points for both Democrat and Republican parties, i.e. Mamdani, AIPAC - these are the issues that, beyond the dog and pony show, really matter and which they don't want you to see.

Grokopedia is just "Alternative Facts" taken to it furthestmost conclusion. Can't win the argument, cook the primary sources!

Bothsidism is not neutrality. Having an ethical stance is not a bad thing. Not everything suits scientific rigor. Information is human. The ethical baseline that ought to be pursued is not neutrality but humanism. #grokopedia

the gaslighting vibes lately are like: when the serial abuser buys you flowers don’t forget to thank him.

The utter inability of legacy news media to be able to deal with being straight-up lied to is one of the primary drivers of this mess.

i’ve said it before and i will say it again: 2020 and the initial COVID lock down forced a lot of people to be alone for the first time in their lives and those people realized they hated the company. and instead of learning to like themselves, whatever this is happened.

Bring back Gen X’s overwhelming fear of being a sellout. We were right about that.

We are not going to elevate the other side by example. You cannot reason with a sociopath. Their civility-hacks only work because we let them. The gaslighting stops, the lazy psyops stop. The soundbyte tsunamis stop. Do what you’re supposed to do and resist.

Do you know how insane it is to continue to play by the rules Monopoly while the winning team is hand selecting their cards and ransacking the bank? All the while giving them the ‘benefit of the doubt’! You are conditioned to think the rules always matter and sometimes they don’t.

Immigration judge orders Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria “It is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech," Khalil, a former Columbia University grad student, said in a statement.

This is ofc a far greater attack on free speech than Kimmel going off the air

I will likely greet the end of the world catching a glimpse of a mushroom cloud video as Twitter auto-refreshes the feed and replaces it with a meme of Trump wearing diapers. And you know, it will make perfect sense.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

Limited tourist experience of Georgetown is different from reality but isn’t it a bunch of posh cupcakes shops intermixed with boutique artisan homewares?

It’s so enjoyable to watch a story unfold and have no idea where it is going. More Weapons, less Marvel.

Much of modern American politics has been a demagogue versus a white noise machine, and Dem politicians reprimanding voters for not electing their white noise machine, and then also blaming the loss on the sputtering near-end quality of the machine.

If this is legit, great, but also how is this not happening everywhere all the time? A general strike, encampments, civil disobedience, if not now, when?

Individual vs government dynamic is all too often a noble rebranding of the actual: asshole vs the world.
