we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

I'm sorry, what kind of pompous bullshit is this? I'm a recovering philosophy major, so I'm fluent in BS. This can be summed up as "Why are the youth into weird shit?" It's "get off my lawn" rhetoric surrounded by self-serious "analysis" to make it sound like it's making a novel point. It's not

Lababus, Dubai chocolate, and other popular trends could be considered IRL Brain Rot—a culture that exists physically but is incomprehensible without the internet.
IRL Brain Rot and the Lure of the Labubu
In the chimerical trend that is Labubumatchadubaichocolate, nothing is ever too extra. But those who embrace the aesthetic know that the only way out is further in.

Todd Lake, Deschutes County, Oregon
A field of yellow flowers with a lake, forest, and snow-spotted mountain in the background. A small, brown spotted frog, held in a person's fingers. The frog is about the size of a fingertip. 3 leafy paintbrush wildflowers, with red petals reaching up toward the sky. The petals are illuminated by the sun.

I went deep on this issue and found that almost no one in this situation is trying to change their MAGA family.

Instead, it’s about mental health. MAGA politics go hand in hand with abusive behavior. Most folks are just protecting themselves.

Fucking arsonists. IMLS funds 2/3rds of my department and staf. They do incredible work. Every. Single. Day. If this goes through, it will disproportionately impact Republican counties. Leopards keep eating their faces. Maybe someday they'll notice. Or care
