I genuinely think it's because it feels like the future has died. For years we would look forward to the next advancement. Graphics could get better, stories more sophisticated, gameplay more elaborate And now we're there, but instead of envisioning a new future, we're told we can all fuck off >>

"Harriet Tubman was bad because she was a Federal spy" is a level of tankie I didn't know even existed. Why did Harriet Tubman become a Federal spy, asshole? Who was she spying on?

I do think that a lot of urban liberals really did used to have certain “we should try to find common ground with rural conservatives” sentiments, which have now, in 2025, been lit on fire, drowned, and buried in a concrete sarcophagus beneath the sea

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.
