I really liked The Golden Age of Indie RPGs video, but it gave me thoughts, which I wanted to write about.
Here's a post about what happened between 2003 and 2010 and why I think that's important.

Every single time I hear Americans mention Bari Weiss, I think “ah yes, Barry White’s daughter”. That’s my valuable contribution to the discourse.
I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

Imagine Scooby Doo saying "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori". It would be terrible. In fact, I don't think that Scooby Doo should read any war poems out loud. He can respect the fallen in other ways.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

As a rising old, my observation is that most people mellow a bit with age. That doesn't turn assholes into nice people, just less aggressive assholes. But some of people enter a permanently enraged state

This is a fascinating & kind of terrifying piece, the way it rules out various reasons for collapse you might guess (famine, climate) to leave the impression these people just decided to slaughter each other
Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

For every carefree, "Don't stress, things always work themselves out!" person there is at least one extremely anxious, detail-oriented, forward-thinking loved one or coworker who has spent years behind the scenes making sure things work out
