Is 22 the last age? I think it probably is.

It almost seems like "groyperification" comprises those "irrational, unconscious, regressive processes" from the Adorno piece mentioned last week. www.unpopularfront.news/p/groyperfic... (via @lioneltrolling.bsky.social)

Andreessen saying the quiet part out loud here. Tech oligarch’s shift to the right was out of fear of their own employees.

Which, how can you think that anything other than collusion happened with the mass tech layoffs? Not just to lower wages, but to kneecap morale.

Love that on day one Trump was like, “we don’t do science anymore, all health information will only come from Instagram influencers.”
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Ahh, yes—playing exactly into the schizo-right conspiracy that all natural disasters are deep-state actions whose teleology is “smart cities”

After reading @kyla.bsky.social take[1], I was, for a short time, pro-ban, until I read @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's final salvo yesterday[2]. But I think, either way, I'm going to take a little vacation from short-form video.

I once stayed at a compound outside of Boise with my wife’s family that had a book by Felix Guattari’s daughter: mitpress.mit.edu/978158435137...

I read it cover-to-cover. The next night I started The Crying of Lot 49. I say this to say that maybe this version of America does exist?

Art died in the 90’s. Go ahead and @ me because it counts as research for this thing I may never finish

This is the correct take. Millennial scene boys were the original incels.
