Athwart the dawning of a new dark age.
Part of why the post is such a good immolation of him is that she has a perspective on what makes up a life well lived; which might not necessarily be the terms on which a younger person would as readily clock why the man is so diseased.
I was surprised at 87, it’s one thing to be a poster but she mastered a new craft when she was 75 at the youngest it’s kind of inspirational.

Formal politics and formal ideology are discredited; the true path to working class consciousness runs through coworker beliefs with "follow the money" characteristics.

They’re defending the principal that people NEED to go hungry; are they going to start releasing geese and slicking plane engines with salmon oil because planes NEED to crash next?

Jury Duty replaced with a push notification with a picture of a recently apprehended vagrant and you get to vote whether to kill them or not and thats how we'll still *technically* have a democracy.

Gotta wonder if, given how little slack there is in supply chains, the drop in demand associated with SNAP being defacto cut is going to create backups throughout the system.
At a certain point, theres going to be a discounting vs giving away vs throwing away choice and I worry they'll choose spite.

Hardly an original observation, but DFW basically got The Entertainment; except for instead of regressing to the infantile, it’s looking at all the cooler people you could’ve been/fucked if only… okay, next cool person/weird stimulus; his biggest blind spot was algorithmic customization aspect tbh.
I need to quit basically every app because i have too much to do and short video is too entertaining.

This is a great ride just as a piece of writing; so many hilarious articulations of whit we've all been seeing for years. Fun interactions with the psyhic shockwave of the Harper's gooning piece w/r/t how ppl replace friendship. (I kinda detoxed from a lotta shows cause i realized I was doing this.)
For our new issue, Brace Belden writes on podcasts, the sickos who make them, and the sickos who listen.

In 2015, if you said, “I heard it on a podcast,” you were trying to sound smart. In 2025, it’s better to lie.

25:56 in today's 5k, slightly worse than last week; probably due to eating too close to race time. Raised some money to help families with sick kids, didn't get sick myself, course was in a pretty neighborhood; good race overall.

I made the hottest pad thai I've ever made (750,000 SHU) and on the first night, I thought I'd fucked up because it was just too physically overwhelming but this is the third night I've had it and idk if it's tolerance or flavors over time but I really like the balance now.

Lol, nevermind; he apparently knew during first Trump term. At that point, Nazis have marched on Charlottesville, Richard Spencer has been decked. Not only was he choosing a side by keeping it, but also he was working for Blackwater at this point; which feels like the (potentially) darker story?
Most charitable reading I can come up with of the Graham Platner thing is that I want someone who just generally thinks about shit he chooses to incorporate into his physical vessel a little more thoroughly/consistently. Like, even if it was a drunken goof I think he should've been curious by now!

It really does feel like this and Leftish Gifted Burnout are the two millennial trajectories for a certain SAT bracket.
Hypothesis: The re-mainstreaming of antisemitism is at least partially downstream of elite overproduction. US has a large and growing pool of people born to privilege but downwardly mobile and resentful about it, prone to conspiratorial thinking about why they've been locked out of the elite.
