I've written another pedantic article about why we should question whether we're enjoying what we're playing or if FOMO is dragging us down. This time it's more cohesive and less ranting. I think.

“We’re making it so Robert Lee could have seen a victory arch instead of having to look at a monument to the President who defeated his rebellion” Hamfisted allegory time continues
And shows how Trump's arch would change the view of the Lincoln Memorial from Arlington House (the Custis-Lee Mansion). 3/3

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.
Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"don't go out of your way to keep reading this one specific children's book" is such a low-lift ask that, if trans folks can't even expect that of you, then they have no reason to believe you'll show up when something harder needs to be done
look, "buying used copies to read to my children" is nice, in theory. but if you're willing to put your blinders on to purchase a terrible book series for your children, we both know you're not going to stop there. in 3 months they'll be watching the show and in 6 they'll be at Harry Potter Land.

The thing about guys like Axelrod and Carville and the whole army of dillrod consultants like them is that if a real-life, genuinely effective leader shows up, their business model is shot
‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

MIB: The Series is one of the all-time champions of this. Sinister, gross, darkly humorous…and that kickin’ opening theme.
In retrospect, "animated series based on live action movies" was a load bearing sub-genre of cartoons. Even if they weren't good, studios greenlighting 52 episode show orders of stuff like this meant a healthier industry.
