We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

New artists are trying to step into being creative and getting hit with the

"I can do it faster and better with AI"
"Your stuff looks/sounds/feels just like AI"
"Why bother being creative these days?"

Art is for you. Art is resistance. Everyone starts out shit. Don't you dare give up.

Amazing how many articles are just “I’m a white guy who didn’t get the promotion I wanted and the only answer to this problem that concerns every single one of us is to re-segregate the workplace”

I will say that while I think this is true I also think that bureaucrats need more propoganda, if we only notice you guys the 1 in 100 times you fuck up then the 99 times where everything went fine don't end up mattering that much in the public eye, what I'm saying is that Control needs a tv show
SO FUCKING REAL I fucking knew I wanted to be a bureaucrat since I was like 13 years old

THE CIVIL SERVICE IS THE ROADIE OF SOCIETY IF WE DO OUR JOB RIGHT YOU DON'T KNOW WE'RE THERE

(the EU is fundamentally at its core designed to be a centrist bureaucracy and any attempt to ever make it anything else, no matter how many votes you get, will be pretty immediately frustrated by the actual rulers of the place, mid-to-high-level bureaucrats, judges and civil servants)

the return of anti-semitism is probably permanent due to a confluence of several structural reasons:

- fading of the living memory of the holocaust
- the end of liberal hegemony
- Israel's behavior (esp when it equates zionism w judaism)
- tech-driven conspiratorial epistemic fragmentation

Or, y'know, liberal professional women.

Who wield relatively little power in Washington or the Party, but are the backbone of pretty much every campaign.

Acting like No Kings is some kind of detriment to the Democratic Party is such a bizarre take.

He's a gambling addict.

He respects the idea of a "skilled gambler" more than hard work.

Particularly when that work comes from a woman.

It is, and I feel this is important, one of the most economically, culturally, and socially powerful subsets in the country.

You cannot ignore them as the left of center party.
Even before the 19th, it would be electoral suicide.

The "market niche" he is describing is like 10% of the entire US population, and capable of mobilizing millions. The only possible interpretation of "niche" here is "people I think should be marginalized".

Hi: speaking as a Jew, not giving a fuck about ICE raids or Trump shitting on the Constitution because there are also antisemites in the world is a you issue. Don't you fucking blame your choices on us
This is why I can't muster much give-a-fuck about ICE raids or anything that Trump is doing.

This is orders of magnitude worst that any of that.

a point I haven't seen anybody make yet is that for all the bitching in Chinese media about young men being feminized and weak and so forth, simple observation of Chinese soldiers - and young people in general - over the last two decades shows they're much taller and healthier!

Maternal grandfather would boast that he knew how to make fried rice anywhere, under any condition because that was what was expected of him in the PLA. He carried a collapsible wok paddle everywhere because he “never knew when he’d have to fry rice”
