I wish "The Audacity of Hope" wasn't already taken, because this is hopeful as hell and I'd love to see it get developed.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Based on nothing but vibes, but it feels like too many men look for other people to tell them what a "real" man is instead of making a choice for themselves what kind of man they aspire to be. And then they find dudes who have this completely disordered definition of manliness.
I think these guys might be lonely because they suck so much no one wants to be around them tbh (good article, btw) www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

Yes. The right to your opinion doesn’t automatically give you the right to have anyone take it seriously.
grokipedia does the same fatal thing that the administration is presently doing to academia and the media: asserting that viewpoint diversity requires giving idiots and know-nothings equal footing with qualified experts who have rigorously studied their field.

My favorite part of the Q and A was answering a question about the making of Gremlins 2. “I made a movie that’s about how you shouldn’t make a sequel to Gremlins.”

Recently heard someone say that any analysis of fascism that doesnt include the psychosexual element is not worth considering and every day it becomes more painfully obvious how true that is

Goddamn this hits hard.
and then people have the audacity to claim it's because you're not trying. your life flashes before your eyes. you are forced to internalize the reality that you trying your goddamned best is other people's version of "not trying at all"
ADHD is just one continuous parade of doing your best to keep up with everything and every week you learn you've forgotten to do something crucial
