They talk about lottery winners going broke and treat this as an indictment of their profligacy as though the poor cannot be trusted with wealth. If you look closer it isn't mostly luxury consumption that is responsible for their return to rags from riches but unbounded generosity.

One element of Trumpism is fury that you might be asked to feel shame or embarrassment for your ancestors while behaving in a way that will provoke feelings of shame and embarrassment in your descendants.

Journalism as people actually encounter it has absolutely ceased being a useful tool for understanding the world. In the recent election the price of eggs in 2023 was, somehow, among the most important issues to voters. But they didn't understand what caused it or how either candidate might fix it.

It's funny that it would be suss if Pete Davidson only removed the Hillary Clinton tattoo so he's got to remove hundreds of other tattoos too.

LLM Ai is genuinely transformative. Self driving vehicles will be practical and genuinely transformative. Crypto is crime bandwidth and useless for anything society should permit. VR and Augmented reality are barely useful essentially novelties.

Elon musk going to to litter geosynchronous orbit with satellites and then when China wants to use the limited resource of space for other purposes we are going to act like they are upending some fundamental right with more legitimacy than calling shotgun before a leg of a road trip.

Did Bart even know what Ay Caramba meant? He's more worldly than I would expect a monolingual grade schooler to be.

It's not fashionable to say but it's obvious that Republican voters are irresponsible and mean little dummies who would proudly spit on the Christ they pretend to worship. They, more than Donald Trump, himself deserve our condemnation.

During the entire campaign Trump was never asked what he would do to lower prices or fight inflation. His answers, or what passed for answers, we never made to test even basic measures of plausibility. Trump is a product of a media ecosystem that cannot inform voters on basic questions.

It would stink if you get the biggest job of your career and the next day you are pointing at charred wreckage and sputtering about "uh we want planes to stay in the air but that's umm just not the world we live in"

Towards the end, my grandfathers mind would wander, shadows of his past flickering into the present, but in those final moments, as the light left him, he was lucid. "It's so clear to me", he whispered, "desert with one s is the sandy one and dessert with two s's is the sweet one.” And he was gone.

Mammals walk around with their noses in the air like they are so smart for having babies in their bodies meanwhile birds and fish get to drop of their eggs and get back to work instead of waddling around for 9 months while being outrun by some creature with the good sense to lay eggs.

Love fuckos who pedantically remind you that in order to be champagne wine needs to be made from grapes grown in the Champagne region. Appellation is legalistic bullshit and you get decide that everything that tastes exactly like champagne is champagne, and the 1891 treaty of madrid can fuck off.

Sometimes I order an article of clothing because the model in the photo looks handsome wearing it. Someplace in my lizard brain it feels like the clothes are making the model handsome but that model is just a professionally handsome dude who's paid to be wearing a chore jacket.

I understand that early 2000s religulous style atheism has fallen out of fashion but the correction where people like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson can simultaneously act like hard headed "facts don't care about your feelings" empiricists and religious fundamentalists /spiritual mystics is goofy

The Beatles correctly deserve credit for their rapid evolution and real innovation but bands like the Monkees, while not blazing the trail, were able to evolve to release quality psychedelic music as tastes shifted. We might expand this view to credit audiences for an appetite for experimentation.

I feel like there's a left coded sentiment that AI is not useful or good based on comparing its outputs to the very best humanity has to offer and finding it lacking and that's obviously silly. But most people fail this test to and I think they can still meaningfully produce value!

When Manfred Mann starts playing chopsticks on his cover of blinded by the light it made everyone forget that he was responsible for some of the most insipid music of the late 60s.
