This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.

is ricky gervais the least self-aware comedian on earth? "nobody wants to hear your lectures" he says, when I'm pretty sure the only thing I've heard him do for decades is lecture people

the problem with kamala harris has nothing to do with anything she is or any policy she has. it's because she's not famous. when voters are googling who you are in the booth you're not famous enough

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

"overwatch 2" changing its name to "overwatch" is raising some philosophical questions. how can it be overwatch when every single part of the original was replaced?

my craziest opinion is I believe social media can be done well, people just think it's inherently bad because the world's only ever had the bad luck to see it done bad
