7th grade history teacher insisted Henry VIII never had a son and refused to believe me when I corrected him, despite telling him the son’s name, which wife gave birth to him, how the wife died, and how and when the son died.
What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

I can’t believe there are people who are like: “Do you still think AI is stupid now that it can make an ad for Coca-Cola that’s a mashup of their previous ads that looks worse and all it costs is an acre of forest?”
