Fucked up thing is the way they're using AI to get clicks (and nothing else), these journalists are only accelerating their obsolescence.

It's not easy raising a child if one of the parents is a DJ.

Saddest 7-word short story.

Something happened recently?

Please god do it

I wonder what happened when Palestinians marched for long distances?

Also it's telling that the language is measured in terms of acceptability. It's so vague and doesn't tell anything about what should be done for the unacceptable actions.

I'd be curious in a grim sort of way how this survey would turn out if the respondents were asked what level of force is a legitimate response for such actions.

They wouldn't, because putting these sorts of questions in material terms would reveal more than they'd like. I want them to say outright if they think state murder is an acceptable response to any of these forms of protest.

Exactly!

I told my partner that France is still collecting reparations from Haiti. It's shitty that they didn't go far enough in having the characters give an opinion on real-world events, but I'm glad I had a conversation opportunity like that.

I hate this so much. I remember being able to use Google and search terms to find just about anything. Sometimes I could remember the exact title or quote a line from the thing I was looking for and I'd find it.

Now it's just useless. I know capitalism ruins everything it touches, but it feels especially perverse when you're trying to find your way online. It feels like somebody changed all the road signs on me.

Imagine caring about this unironically.

Lol you believe Ancient Rome is real.
