This is what I think when I see people on Reddit wishing for an endgame. The part you're frustrated by IS the endgame. Such a good piece.

Better make it three.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

No worries--I think it's all the same entitlement based on the warped idea that reality is a product you're the consumer of.

Such a weird set of unexamined assumptions.

Similar to why I growl every time someone calls a university a "marketplace of ideas". The study of reality is not obligated to produce a product you like.

I see my Handbasket payment went out today and this exact point is why I subscribe. Media that can't be bothered to investigate what happened and how, or to say clearly what it knows, useless to me.

I think we should make one consultant retire and wear the phrase around their neck like an albatross.

Maybe it will be an actual political party. That would be a thing to try.
