Media is media-ing again.

Blaming video games, music, or media offers simple answers but ignores deeper systemic issues like inequality, mental health, and violence. It's lazy, unsupported by evidence, and distracts from real solutions that require accountability and change. #moralpanic

“The sport is now unrecognizable. The surge in interest in Formula One has transformed karting into a kind of oligarchy. It is now crowded with the sons and daughters of multimillionaires (and actual oligarchs) who crisscross Europe every weekend for mini-Grand Prix.” Gift link: wapo.st/3ZwvQYZ
These preteen go-kart drivers are spending millions for a shot at F1 racing
Parents are spending millions on karting for their kids, hoping it will eventually catapult them into F1 racing. It’s a mad, mad world. And we go inside.

Interesting read. I really hope that projects like F1Academy, Mission44, Dare to Be Different, and the Formula E's efforts will increase diversity in the pinnacle of motorsport.

Side-note: As a habitual TCG (mainly Magic) fan, I enjoy pretending that any time I "open" a Bluesky starter pack, I am adding valuable cards to my growing collection of voices.
