flying anywhere but the US is crazy because what do you mean flights aren’t constantly delayed, security doesn’t treat you like shit, and making sure your carry on gets onboard isn’t an episode of the hunger games??

it’s truly the most wonderful time of year in LA. streets are empty. traffic is scarce. transplants have evacuated and restaurant reservations are shockingly easy to get. the leaves are golden and falling everywhere. i love this city so much during the holidays

hot take: i think ppl are fully aware of how cars ruin everything but would never sacrifice their own convenience for the greater good 🙂↕️

this is a huge reason i left journalism. realized public opinion was largely manufactured by design
I wonder how much propaganda is in our media that’s meant to tell us how to feel about situations - wouldn’t it be easier to convince someone of something, if you find a way to make them believe they are the originator of their own belief?
Very similar to laugh tracks telling you when to laugh.

Omg yes! Instagram use to be an app where you didn’t need to impress others.
i know there’s a lot of twitter/X hate on here but does anyone ever think about how instagram has completely stifled an entire generation from being themselves because they’re so obsessed w flattening themselves for public validation or is that just me
