Executive dysfunction, a conspicuous lack of marketable skills, and a paradoxical ambition to build a better society from the ground up.

Growing up, I recall a lot of people asking, "How could the German people let this happen?" but no one ever asked, "Would they have let if happen if they could effortlessly access detailed information about current events and history and had also been warned all their lives to not let this happen?"

I didn't know this, and holy crap that's a ton of social harm done to folks who don't have money by folks who do.
In most states, there are no public defenders for evictions or foreclosures or debt collections or family and child custody cases. But every time I bring this up, there are objections from people who insist that it's different from healthcare.

It's astonishingly easy to forget that work is not generally supposed to be THE thing you do with you life, but the thing that earns you what you need to actually enjoy your passions and relationships. I feel the world would be much better off if we all sought meaning outside of our workplace.
in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

Can people on here PLEASE try to be normal about Will Stancil? I mean, Jesus Christ, if every single thing that he posts makes you angry to the point of hurling childish insults and vulgarities and death threats, then maybe just fucking block him and get over yourselves?

this situation produces a strange person who cannot keep straight basic ideas in their own head. No one is saying a Thing because a Thing is bad therefore it cannot be said. However a Thing is also good so it cannot be criticized, as only bad people would criticize a Thing.

It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

The largest population of religiously Jewish people is in New York. Under this statement issued by the DHS, which does "deportations" (trafficking), they do not share this nation because they do not consider Jesus to be their savior. This is a threat. A threat to them, and to every non-Christian.

With each passing year at Christmastime, I am brought closer to a full-on breakdown by the social expectation that I buy gifts for people who BOTH 1) have more money than I, and 2) buy everything they want for themselves, without hesitation.

Remember kids, if you're working today, no you're not. It's Christmas Eve Eve. Put 8 hours of fake meetings on your outlook calendar. You're meeting with Santa. Take a dozen smoke breaks and feed a reindeer. Dasher and Dancer love Newports. This work week is over if you believe it is.

Incredibly, it often seems like a majority of the population believes that past a certain age, it is a character defect to try new things, have fun, or attempt creativity. I believe the rest of us have a duty to enthusiastically reject that thinking at every opportunity.
Learning to draw as an adult is sincerely one of the bravest things an adult can do, I think. It’s a vulnerable action to go “ha hah I’m having fun!” and I get so excited to see it.

This is probably the most revealing section of “Bari does not understand the discipline she is trying to manage” with an implicit statement of what she thinks is less important. It is not actually the reporters job to make a case for the Admin, especially if they will not make it themselves

It's weird seeing so many people who you grew up with falling down weird religious/cult rabbit holes. I think that this shows how fundamentally broken society is that so many people will fall for obvious grifts.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

Words cannot describe how frustrating it has been watching this impulse rewarded with the highest office in the land, by the same Boomers who criticized my entire generation as "entitled" because we expected decent jobs and advancement opportunities after 4 to 8 years of post-secondary education.
An all-consuming desire for credit without accomplishment or even participation

"Everyone already knows about the abuse. What our story needs is a narrative for why that abuse might be justified."
Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but the number of Little Free Libraries I see in residential neighborhoods is much, much higher than the number of people I see walking in those neighborhoods, which really seems to defeat the purpose of erecting them.

I’m not telling anyone how to post, do whatever you want, but I do see people (not OP) who express this sentiment who also gleefully boast about having ‘driven off’ people they dislike and at a certain point you do in fact have to chose between these two things.
the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now
