It's pretty messed up that our outlet for howling into the void, venting our deepest fears & outrages is the same machine and medium we use for expressing cool detachment, sharing humour and looking at naked people being sexy. Feel like that should be at least 3 different devices & venues.
This must explain some people's behaviour on Bluesky.
I think a reasonably frequent experience for junior academics is a life wherein they were the smartest person in the room in most rooms they were in (even some pretty fancy rooms) up until The Great Filtration suddenly puts them among a bunch of other people with the same life experience.

Yeah, it's not that people didn't take Russia seriously as a threat, it's that Hillary cannot admit failure ever, and her supporters who went into 2016 fully went insane thinking her loss was sabotage. Nothing is her fault, still with her, Chapo are Russian bots.

Woke 2.0 will be more 'Yes anding...' and less 'actually this isn't cool'. More righteous anger and less 'burrito taxis are praxis'.
One thing we certainly won’t be doing in woke 2 is jumping into a thread to say some stupid shit like “uhmmmm awkshually Jeffrey Epstein was probably dyslexic…” you big stupid fucking moron

Don't make a stupid, obtuse ignorant post and then start blocking people when they clearly explain why your post is in bad faith.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Exactly. Authority figures told good kids this was the correct and responsible thing to do. 90s/00s kids just believed going to university would guarantee them the same or better quality of life than their parents. Nobody told them the post cold war economy was an aberration.
“I graduated with £42,000 of debt and even though I’m paying it off, it’s now £72,000.”
It's truly an abomination: On a normal job you keep paying forever. 40 years!
“Why would I trust a government that mis-sold me a loan when I was a child?” is a very good question.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

I've thought for a long time that they should be in the centre of the UK, in a very basic building, with good transport links.
Maybe one of the halls at the NEC in Birmingham?

Show any 18th century Ojibwe literally any billionaire and they'd be like "yep, that's a wendigo. You're gonna need to kill it with fire. How many people has it killed already?"
And you'd be like "this one already killed about 500,000 children in the last year"

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Trump should be more like Hitler and we need an even more violent Gestapo is a hell of a thing to say outloud.
This Claremont twit is so fearful of “wine moms” with cell phones and whistles that he’s demanding Trump crush them with violence.

Imagine coming from a proud European aristocratic family with impeccable inbreeding, genetic deformities that only show up in Dune, non-euclidian teeth etc. Perfected the art of pedophilia pre Magna Carta. Then this dude shows up looking like a mid tier vampire wearing a table cloth as a cravat.

Trusting billionaires is like the Strudel scene in Inglourious Basterds. They pretend to be nice or charming but the constant implication is that they can take everything away at any second. They hold all the power. The menace is palpable. They'll tolerate nuisance unless they change their minds.

It's kind of funny that there are like two newspapers left in the world and one of them is 60% word games and recipes. It's usually ok except when it's terrible. The other one is written for investors & bankers and is the last good, universally respected source of news in the solar system.
