The earliest known example of ‘brain rot’ comes from Henry David Thoreau in his 1854 book “Walden.”
“While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?”

“The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences, and these elected officials do actually have blood on their hands. The city is unprepared to handle this fire, & LA shouldn’t be in that position.”

Re: LAFD Budget
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.

This is such a good story, and at its core is something that I think the scale of online shopping often hides from us in plain sight: So much of the abundance it promises is just a lot of disappointing sameness in the end
New from me: Two influencers make very similar content promoting Amazon products. They dress the same. They buy the same stuff. They even have a similar tattoo.
Now one is suing the other, claiming her rival won't stop copying her. But who influenced whom? www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/2...
