Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Everyone who runs an LLM loves that they get to be the architect of entire human realities, but they love it secretly because they know how dystopian it is.
Except Elon, he loves it loudly because his audience is super into how dystopian it is.

Early films used more mobile camera work than many people give them credit for but they also sometimes used other trickery, like faking a zoom-like effect by wheeling a piece of the set toward the still camera, as we see in the Méliès film THE MERMAID

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

You should never be more afraid of what will happen if you speak out and stand up against injustice & oppresson than you are of what happens if you don't.
Don't let fear shut you down, let it wake you up & spark a fire inside you, maybe under your ass if that works as better motivation to fight.

Endorse—my book (A Physical Education coming May 6 to booksellers near you) is only nominally about lifting weights; the real thing it’s about is that the literal moment I stopped trying to follow all the rules to get respect, I learned IMMEDIATELY I wasn’t getting respect—just conditional approval
One reason I think insecure men are threatened by visibly muscular women is:
Men care first and foremost about having the respect and validation of other men.
Women are supposed to be objectified, not respected.
Muscular women attract the respect of other men, which insecure men crave.
