Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

The 2nd half of my FFS is finally scheduled. Gonna finish the Face/Off on 4/23. That's admittedly later than I was hoping for, but I'm gonna use the extra time to save more money and get as healthy as I can in preparation for the surgery.
Any support is enormously appreciated! 💜 gofund.me/2debcf82b

Couldn't sleep last night because I was in a fugue state planning how to convince a comedy podcast to do an episode ridiculing my dumb little hometown, as my ultimate act of immortal revenge upon the town.

Thinking of having some friends over for a party to make sour dill pickles to ferment, because I can't find them just right in Tokyo. Is this an immigrant experience???

There is probably gonna come a time when people discuss corporations putting shitty Waymo's and alpha state self-driving cars on the streets of SF the same way that we talk about those construction workers they had work on the Golden Gate Bridge's foundation knowing a bunch of them would die.
