Pretty sure I drove through Night Vale on my way home tonight.
"We invite the children of same-sex couples to listen," said the radio announcer. "We invite the children of different-sex couples to listen. We do NOT invite the Children of the Corn to listen."

"Not that there's anything wrong with that," a different voice cut in. "Some of our best friends are..." "realized what he was saying was ridiculous*"... corn."

Wish I could internalize this

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

Fun fact: its also a pun on "Italian car" which where big in japan as a show of wealth at the time the term was coined. So its like

"Hey man I heard you got an Itasha(Lamborghini)"

"Um... yeah., totally, its an Itasha (cringemobile)"

"The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change - not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth."

the way disco elysium drags centrism hits different

#absolutely adore the framing here. so insidious. so controlling. and yet so totally and utterly apathetic

protestors are reportedly holding a FOOTBALL as though it is ready to be kicked, but are pulling it away at the last second, causing ICE agents to FALL ON THEIR BUTTS when they try to kick it.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.
