ive been watching niche nerd youtubers sounding the alarm about this since I was like 12. it's been surreal watching all the things they said were bad about it, rather than anything being done about it, instead having those things blow up to encompass the entire consumer economy
Often, these gamblers told us, video games with gambling features drew them in.
The three I heard most often: NBA 2K (with its gacha-esque packs), Fortnite (through wagering) and CS:GO (with its skins market).
Many gambling streamers got famous with these games, especially 2K.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

This is the UK Labour Party, the left-liberal party who took power in a wave election after the fascist-adjacent conservs melted down.

We MUST prevent the US Democratic Party from turning into this. It is an essential priority. If they come to power and do this it will destroy America forever.
This is so disgusting.

We should take it way more seriously than we do that these unspeakably wealthy and powerful men are publicly equating summary judgement and public execution with their gender.

That’s real sick. Real real sick.

No one is normal anymore. When someone insists on there being a "normal" to return to, they're really signalling that they want some people to shut the fuck up and be like them for their own comfort

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

To propose that GenAI can compensate for "archival silences" perverts Trouillot's work. It's is a contradiction to say that a product whose logic exacerbates power imbalances--creating a most-likely guess based on the existing record--can restore absences that are the product of those imbalances.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.
