The fact that the building now says "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" makes it sound like Trump's dead

New Data shows at least 3,800 children, including infants, have been put in detention since Trump took office. Many were held for long stretches. “There is no other way to describe it; it’s a jail for children," one parent said.

Counterpoint: Without my "Charmin Wrapped" how would I have known that on August 3rd I used 192 feet of Charmin Ultra Strong in just one session, that might be an actual record, also, as an aside, there's a limit to how long you can let pizza sit unrefrigerated and it's apparently less than six days
please, I don't need a "2025 wrapped" on every product I use.
I'm looking at you, Charmin toilet paper

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

CELEBRATED SUMMER by Charles Forsman (Fantagraphics, 2013): just about the perfect comic for Where I’m At right now — a really sharp bit of emotional avoidance. Quite taken with this one; between this and TEOTFW, Forsman has a special way of making books that read super fast without feeling slight.

If you ever want to see more of something you read but don't feel like you can do anything about it because you're not an influencer or a publisher or a journalist, even just leaving a five star review online moves the needle. Even telling a friend "you'd like this too"!
