Everything dies baby that's a fact / We keep singing even so
Another digital media worker joins the unemployment line, ponders the meaning of everything

Earlier this month, I got laid off from The A.V. Club after 3.5 years. It changed my life and I’m going to miss it so much. Don’t know what’s coming next but I do feel more committed to the work than ever. I wrote about it on Substack if you care to check it out ❤️

Shiny Happy People s2 could not be more relevant to everything happening today (specifically, and more broadly as a country) — outlines the playbook for this rhetoric specifically. They have been waiting and hoping for a martyr
The Heritage Foundation released the following words from the organization's president, Kevin Roberts, about the death of Charlie Kirk: “His martyrdom must be a turning point for our country.”
Yes, he said "martyrdom." Remember, we don't even know who killed the man or why.
