I didn't realize that the pro-eugenics natalist couple that was inexplicably profiled by several major outlets for having a lot of kids through IVF started a podcast. Here's an unlistenable episode where they try and argue that Hitler was a hipster and not "right wing."

Okay. I am an OG trump-isn’t-funny stonefaced hater. But I lol’d.
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Which is, of course, to say: it’s *extremely* anachronistic but must be balanced against what matters.
So if you’re going to mess with the basics—calendar, measures, pronouns—you should have a real good reason

One of the best worldbuilding guides you can read is Tolkien's notes on translation, where he talks about the fact that *everything* you write is in practice being translated into English; is is no more anachronistic to use the word "September" than it is use the word "sword" or "house" or "hello".
Not sure how I feel when a book tells me that instead of "12 months" they have "10 arcs," which are each 40 days long, and they all have names like Blossomarc, Flamearc Snowarc,.... I appreciate the world building, but couldnt we have just kept the calendar the same?

I think what grates on me most about this is the apparently straight-faced use of "cancelled" - the language of people who whine about misogynists being held accountable in any way for their actions.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

My belief that most executive decisions aren’t actually important or hard, they just have to be made and everyone agree that they’ve been made collects evidence
A new global study shows that AI adoption varies by seniority, with 87% of executives using it on the job, compared with 57% of managers and 27% of employees. It also finds that executives are 45% more likely to use the technology on the job than Gen Zers …
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

I need a theory of why time doesn’t work anymore, why everyone perpetually confuses the signifiers of entire generations
not sure what Gen Z has to do with a 43-year-old’s adaptation of a 52-year-old’s novel—and lest you think it’s just the hed, the piece calls Hamnet “mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation,” never mind that mumblecore predates TikTok by like 20 years

I would situate any dynamic particular to the White House press corps within a larger USian phenomenon of self-perceived egalitarian frankness and actual extreme status-conscious conflict aversion
There's a weird collective self-justification among reporters on this beat that their job is not to push back but to be stoic in order to observe an endlessly fascinating natural phenomenon. It's all nonsense. He is a public servant. Demand decency, and slap back hard and fast when you don't get it.
I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

My modest contribution to games explaining is: pick ONE person to explain the game. Everyone else shut up
I used to think I didn’t like board games or a lot of games really, then I found out that I just don’t like having to learn how to play a game from people who are bad at explaining it. And because some don’t know, you can play a game very well AND be bad at explaining how to play the game.

My feeling about Rogue One, since immediately after I saw it, is that it is somehow historical: an account of a thing that happened and it really isn’t my place to assess it as “good” or “bad”. It weirdly resists my critical judgment
I disagree on the grounds that Rogue One makes me, the viewer, feel feelings effectively. Is it a messy chop-job rescued in the edit that is often disjointed?
Yeah, but it works - for me, but also clearly for a lot of audiences. And that's all that matters.

rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)
