We saw SINNERS last night. WOW!! Now this is the perfect example of everything I love about horror. Characters I emotionally invest in, thought provoking, scary monsters, social commentary, a little horny, POWERFUL!

Let's talk about the subtle shade of adding a question mark.

No question mark: I'm not sure, but try searching online.

As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland.

The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m.

As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline.

A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled.

As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

This is _the_ story in America.

Everything else is a distant second.

Every media outlet should have a reporter outside that courthouse telling America what's happening.

The implications of the Garcia case are staggering.

This is not about just one innocent man, it's about the fate of our nation.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

there's a real fun "emperor's new clothes" aspect to all this where everyone in politics is sort of standing around avoiding each other's eyes because if any of them actually admit to the level of crisis currently taking place, they might have to do something about it

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

The idea that rural America is the Real America is sacrosanct among media and political types, even though 4 out of 5 Americans live in an urban area and, last I checked, are real.
It reminds me of another galling baked-in media assumption: that people in blue cities just don't *understand* the concerns of people in rural, redder areas ... as if millions of people who live in blue cities didn't actually move away *from* red areas to find someplace more hospitable.
The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.
