Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

📚This is a wild story I missed when it was uncovered earlier this year. A summer reading list, standard fare for major newspapers, was entirely fictitious produced by a LLM. The editors relied on a syndicate, but that doesn't relieve them of accountability. Sign of the times. 📚

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.
