Had a gripe to air out, which just so happened to funnel into a punch-up blog about a manga you should read.

One of my favorite arguments is 'sure this person acted like a stupid asshole, but a lot of people dunking on them are motivated by unrelated petty grievances' when the problem is still easily avoided by not acting like a stupid asshole

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

Boy oh boy do companies love to pollute Louisiana. Especially the places where all the Black folks live.
"It seems like a marvel of financial engineering: Meta is building a $27 billion data center in Louisiana, financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet."

Jewish Insider is freaking out over Tennessee 7th because the Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn is pro-Palestine and factually asserts that Israel has committed genocide.
"Once someone wins their party’s nomination, the penalty for holding ideologically extreme views isn’t as costly as it once was."

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Thinking again about how the Campbell's soup executive melted down about making "poor people" food, and the broad-ranging disgust rich people now for the very idea that their job might provide a product or service (especially to the poor) and not just siphon up money for no return and no reason.

All of the Democrats around the U.S. proposing more pretrial detention and fighting reforms to the cash bail system should be thinking about why, across modern history, authoritarians are obsessed with increasing the power of the government to detain people before any trial.

In the long term this is what will kill what's left of America's miniscule credibility in MENA: US-backed ceasefires are when the Arab ceases and Israel continues to fire.
And this is not a Trump problem, but a bipartisan problem. This "ceasefire" was achieved by the previous president.

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect a year ago today.
Since then, Israel has violated the ceasefire nearly 10,000 times: 7,500 violations of Lebanese airspace and almost 2,500 ground violations, according to the UN.

so i know we all really like to predict when the economy will crash and it's true there is a bubble but part of the reason that you see so much buzz around when the economy will crash is because people are betting on this and making money both on trades and betting sites

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.
It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.
