Corporate media: “the manifesto! the ravings of a madman, twisted and incomprehensible”

The manifesto: “UHC is almost as big as Amazon but all it does is take your money and then not use it to pay your doctors? Uhhh why don’t we just fucking kill these people”

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

Instead, we should look to history, path dependency, institutional structures, politics, and economics. For Tokyo, I think urban planning—walkability, mixed use neighborhoods, affordable real estate—all contribute to the richer media and commercial systems that feed into culture.

Hang tight folks, we are not ready yet to do the damn thing. But for the benefit of those new to it, every holiday season we (lovingly) attack this site with generosity, signal boosting, whatever you are able to do. $50k in wishes granted last year. Will be a fantastic test of the heart of this app

also “the point isn’t to pick the worst generation”

we have no idea what the distribution of responses looks like, so including 6 years of <18yos could completely skew the results. or it couldn’t. point is we don’t know and making sweeping generalizations about generations is kinda pointless here.

i’d say being 30 years behind current income trends is far more egregious than teens thinking they need to be famous to be successful. especially given that one group has the benefit of decades of hindsight and the other is pretty much children.
