I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

i’ve spent a good amount of my life protesting and i can tell you the people who reject your methods or intensity have been dissatisfied for decades, from the iraq protests clean thru summer 2020, and always for the same few reasons. if they aren’t offering anything you can use, ignore them

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

Hello, I am a well-adjusted human being who fears Italian food. Please design your tax system around me.
The non-doms who came to the UK to save tax and love living here, are moving to Italy, which they don’t like and fear the food, because they don’t want to pay more tax on their global income bit.ly/4jcE7cK the UK they say will lose their lavish spending and investment
‘Rachel Reeves is making us move to Italy’
Ann Kaplan Mulholland and her husband are worth ‘half a billion’, but she says the changes to non-dom rules have left them with ‘no choice’

Spielberg: John, I want this film to be a tonally darker, more serious and adult take on Jurassic Park. But I also want it to be more of a classic adventure story.

Williams: ok, seems like a weird combo for a movie, anyway here’s some theme music that embodies it perfectly

"DEI" is "CRT" is "gender ideology" is "cultural Marxism"--never a static, definable thing whose merits can be defended or debated or reasoned about.

It is a specter, a phantasm, a nebulous evil, a RHETORICAL DEVICE, first and foremost. It is a cudgel to instrumentalize against the marginalized.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*
