in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

![VOLITION [Easy: Failure] – You wake up in your Hilton suite to a cacophony of whistles and horns. Half drunk and half hungover, you hastily throw on your tactical gear. It feels heavier than you remember. You stumble outside. The cold hits you like a brick. What are you doing here in this dismal city? Home is warm. Home is safe. Home is a thousand miles away. Tucking your shotgun between your legs, you fumble with a tear gas canister like a child learning how to tie their shoes. The gun goes off and you shoot yourself in the balls.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqh433fdh2bqhvt455e3tg67/bafkreiahrbfuw4v4so56ikp2pxf5n253bs5pd5gq37l7nqsitkwynw56hy@jpeg)

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

I find this piece incredibly cathartic because it not only reaffirms my artistic philosophy behind my favourite V:TM Clan but also gives me space to confront the complicated dialectic between artistic expression and the compromises necessary to do do so professionally.

You Can't Force People To Be Happy
Dopamine isn't happiness, it's positive reinforcement. Doesn't matter how much someone expresses appreciation for your contributions, the thing that actually matters is how they feel when you're in the room. Are you tolerated? Or are you welcomed?

More evidence for everyone-is-twelve theory: that Taylor Swift album. I don't think it's a coincidence that the best song on it is the one about high school (true also of previous albums!)

I'm trying to decide if a Garth Merenghi/Alan Partridge crossover would be the greatest "Sad Little Man" mashup ever, or a grotesque mockery that lessened both characters irreparably.

TLDR: Ben Mulroney DONATED nearly the maximum allowable amount to the Conservative Party of Canada — and is now the interim host of one of Canada’s top political shows.
I’ve got the receipts:
I’ve got the receipts:
Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.
Canadian media struggles with this too.
Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.
It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Oh damn. I figured out what DC needs to do with Superboy. Make him a Snyderbro.
I don't say that lightly, Conner is my fave DC Supe, but genuinely engage with the idea of Superman if he tried to use Capitalism for good. Show that point in space where individual and system combine instead of clash

France: "the despair of the burden of freedom."
USA: "the despair of wanting to kill a huge fuckin' whale and you just can't kill it. God damn stupid whale!!"
