The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

In the dawn of man, he was a lonely creature, naked and defenseless. Life was short and cold. Then, groups formed and found strength in numbers. One of them said "I will become a customer success team lead." Another said "I will write tickets on Jira, Asana, or Trello." Thus was paradise realized.

Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

I have no interest in policing other people's personal health choices in any way. If you're taking a GLP-1 and happy with it, then I'm happy.
But we're never going to be a country without fat people — or the need to treat each other with grace and humanity regardless of size.

Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power.
"Do you know how mean fat activists are if you lose weight?"
Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!

Conservative and reactionary centrist media is trying to set up a narrative in which GLP-1s are some kind of existential threat to body positivity and fat activism.
It's bullshit. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But not everyone can or wants to — and they deserve equal treatment regardless.

It has no touchscreen, no light, and it's under-powered, and yet it has a devoted community that wants to make it sing.

in the arts people will always talk about how "having the ideas" is actually the easy part but it seems like maybe that part is also pretty hard
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
