Not even 100 years ago. I just adopted some kittens, and the amount of options have increased infinity since I first got my last cat a decade ago. There are too many options.
there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

KYUK is a scrappy public radio station in Alaska. When Congress went after NPR, public radio stations like this one took the hit.
It broadcasts to indigenous people living in the tundra, and without public funding, it's facing massive layoffs.

The Pope is already responsible for the spiritual well-being of 1.4 billion Catholics. Let the man rest.
Unpopular opinion: Chicago needs to back off the Pope.
For example, he doesn’t need to be read in on “the vision for a new White Sox stadium,” as the email headline I just saw stated.
Let him Pope.
