Hell is other people, which means other people have to step up and actually inflict it

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

If she's never punished for any of this, who cares what "history" thinks?

History will forget her like it's forgotten so many shitty racist, murderous U.S. officials in the past.

"History" is the secular version of Hell, and just as imaginary.

yeah I'm a crank about this but I feel that most chatter like this has more to due with how old people are than any supposedly innate "generational" characteristic

Studies show that 100% of people over 30 will share stories that say "kids suck."

who knows how real it is, but someone could totally write a half-assed "movies are making a comeback" trend piece, throw in some stuff about the need for communal enjoyment after covid, toss in letterboxd, and bam

On top of everything else, this great story from @matoswk.bsky.social made me very hungry for garlic bread.
