Using Claude as a personal journal is really good for getting unstuck from anxiety and decision paralysis. It’s like having a personal assistant.

This chapter. Good Citizens, #Didion critiques the performative political nature of #Hollywood, and it resonates heavily today.

The next scene, is when #Baldwin was also referenced, in Baldwin’s reaction to both of these crackers sitting next to him, in what could be called, caucasity.

Brutal.

it showcases Didion's ability to turn tech systems into metaphors for larger social phenomena, in this case, the ouroboros, self-reinforcing nature of bureaucratic thinking. Which was the title of this chapter, a load bearing metaphor.

Her writing of conciseness is perfect for microblogging

This is one of the signature didion journalist styles in this passage, her trademark surgical precision that occurs in the explanation of how the Las Angelos highway system work, and how the computer processing that is Xerox captures the data from across the highway systems.

The history of the world is the history of colonization, atrocities, and destruction.

The only reason the US got rich is cause they got lucky.

So. Stfu about who’s worse, and put your hands together, for the people of the world.

Blame games won’t get anyone anywhere but back. #asianhate #racism

“Chain responses are everywhere, popping up in comment sections across RedNote (小红书) and Reddit— “我也是,” “Cat,” or “Nice” stack up almost automatically. There’s no rulebook instructing people to repeat the same word or phrase”

Of all the posts that annoyed me about the current Rednote situation, this one pissed me off the most.

That's universal. Whether it's #Reddit threads or #RedNote posts, people find ways to discuss, understand, and be themselves - regardless of what systems try to control them. 5/

You're basically saying these communities didn't create their own space, didn't fight for their own rights, didn't develop their own understanding. That's bullshit.

Resistance emerges everywhere, takes different forms, speaks different languages. But the core human need to express authentic self?4/
