This is objectively good.

i think everyone owes charlie booker an apology for ever calling black mirror cringe when his only crime was that he couldn't have known the depths of inhumane ghoulishness in 12 years "be right back" was released

We really need to bring back editors, jesus christ that needed like 6 or 7 passes to get to acceptable.

Exactly. I see what's happened in the UK and that's why I'm sure as shit not going to sit silently while the "center-left" party here does the same thing they did over there.

And my really bleak thinking is this is intentional. It's a neo-feudalism thing. If we remove everything of additional value from public schools than only private schools teach the complex nuances of the world and it creates a stark class divide.

And for all of them that is part of the secret sauce of what makes them special. God knows I've gotten a lot of mileage in my career from my basic understanding of pedagogy (due to many teachers in my life).

The "We don't need to know anything else" is just setting yourself up for failure.

What's funny is almost all of the best software engineers I've ever worked with have diverse interests outside of just "code".

Sure some are math dweebs (who learn REAL hard math outside of their day to day) but a lot are design weirdos, or love to read, or love architecture.

And our transit infra is still barely keeping up even with our high remote work rate. I5 is crumbling, the literail is holding on for dear life. The whole "FILL UP THE OFFICES" thing is miserable.

Calling it a "siege" is just fascist shit. She's a monster whose life has no value.

I agree with this and also think it's exacerbated by the fact that even when young men find GOOD advice it's a lot harder and more abstract than the right wing advice.

People tell me "focus on being likable and interesting" but that's a lot more complicated to enact than "the problem is woman".

Hell, I frame a lot of advice to men as "if you want to get laid do this" but the real advice is harder to take so many young men take the "easy" road of right wing "one secret trick" grift advice.

Similarly I've told lots of younger men how to fix their dating profiles (being funny is better than being ripped, for example) and they end up having a bad reaction because it requires a different sort of effort they're less interested in putting out.

I have mixed feelings about this because, yes, you're right, but also a lot of young men don't want to take GOOD advice because it's often harder, more abstract, less satisfying.

Stuff like "not everyone will like you, that's ok, just be decent and you'll win out" doesn't appeal

And not just "he knows more about the song" or "he knows the history of the record".

He's like "I KNOW THIS DUDE'S DAD AND THIS IS WHY HE IS THE WAY HE IS" which is so interesting.

If right wing shock ads become the status quo the only answer is to punish brands for it the same way right wingers get upset about pride collections. Mass vandalism is a real answer and a victimless crime.

Ah man, fuck him but also that sucks. I liked some of his recipes (or, I guess, recipes he stole?)

What a piece of shit.

I 100% agree. I really wanted it to have more to say, and to hold my intention better.

The mini photography was neat, though.

A message I just got from a buddy of mine, who's a long time Democratic Party campaign consultant: "This Sydney Sweeney thing is the kind of thing that turns men away from our party.
It's why men think our party is weak & insane."
My response to him? "Fuck yea it is. You are exactly right." y 562

Q: Who in the Democratic Party is pushing this Sydney Sweeney thing? Answer: No one. It's some randos on TikTok and Twitter. Has nothing to do with the Democrats. What a weird strawman.

It doesn't have to "come" from the party leadership, it's very obviously only left-leaning people who get their outrage detectors out to search for micro-aggressions. It's an ad for jeans, and yet another reason for people who lean
"anti-woke" to laugh at the people who care about things

It is nothing compared to the insane backlash over one bud light instagram ad featuring a trans woman. But somehow that is never a problem for the republican party.

Yeah but the staffers are very upset that we've left behind the Bill Clinton version of the party where how powered individuals can sexually harass whoever they want.

Why should anyone be a staffer if they can't get rapey with it?!

With Chili Neighbor she was like "oh sorry, I didn't realize this was a harassment campaign, how could I have know?!"

Girl, that's supposedly your beat. That's what you claim to be an expert in, how could you not recognize the patterns of the thing you claim to know more about than anyone else?!

I was done with her when she leaned in with harassment mobs during the chili neighbor shitshow.

I was even more done after her weird interview with LOTT which was clearly cross promotion between them due to her odd symbiotic relationship at the time (where they just outrage baited off each other)
