after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

I feel like gen z people and millennials both refuse to accept that much of their experience of the internet is common between them and that they are cringe and fun in very similar ways. Which is a shame bc the appeal of dumb internet stuff is so timeless and universal

"what do we do about alienated young men?" i dunno, what do we do about anybody? let them flounder in shit work until they get disabled and die? we don't do anything for anyone. maybe the problem is the same problem that's driven all of us off a cliff and alienated young men are actually just humans

It’s said that America is a nation of temporarily embarrassed billionaires, but that’s only half the truth; their *actual* billionaires are temporarily overestimated infants.
the cultivation of the american brain such that adults can view everything from the president to an arms dealer to a slumlord to the ceo of a firm that defies people dying of cancer to fight them in wars of paperwork attrition as tho theyre teenagers in charge of a taffy stand is downright amazing
