I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

Whatever comes next in the NIH case, the hearing today made it clear how huge the medical/academic constituencies are opposing these cuts. And it would seem hard to dispute that some amount of irreparable harm has already happened to some number of parties involved.

There is no ethic of care that has accompanied the rise of tech. Everyone wants to “hack” and “disrupt” but only for profit and clout. “Caring” has been systematically denigrated by the rise of trolling as online’s lingua franca. Caring is for chumps (or, you know, women)

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

‼️ Noir City Update ‼️ MY TRUE STORY tonight will be presented on 35mm. It takes two projectors to run 35mm without interruption, and unfortunately, only one of ours is operational at the moment. So, there will be three 5-minute pauses between each reel. We’ll keep you posted with any other updates!
