8/ Perhaps this is the new etiquette. Describe the smoke. Condemn the flames. Identify who brought the petrol. Even point to the person holding the match. But don’t, whatever you say, mention the arson.

there’s just something about how even as little as a few years ago, when you pressed a button on a household appliance, it would make it do something
but today — through the miracle of progress!! — the appliance can simply… ignore you.
why? it won’t say!
press & pray you are judged worthy

This thread. Once you see an estranged parent in action you start to notice that behavior all over the place, about any relationship, full of possessive rage about being unable to threaten someone back to being a passive object.
You gotta put estranged parents brain in some central part of your analysis of the fascist turn if it isn't there already

fucking wild conversation. corporations just don't have to be accountable anymore, they are allowed to corporate speak to a standstill and just wait out the clock, and then keep doing whatever the fuck it is they want that'll make them money, and fuck you anyway
I just had a very confusing call with a spokesperson for Starbucks.
We Asked Starbucks Why Their 'Sugar-Free' Drinks Have Sugar and Now We're Just More Confused
There's a big difference between "sugar free" and "no added sugar."

Dialogue does not change minds, and punishment does not change people.
But the risk of catching a beating adds an extra cost to being an asshole that a lot of people are not willing to pay.
We get side-tracked into wanting people to think right when the task is to get them to act right.

The funniest/saddest reaction to this amazing article has been people going "wait, Stellaris has WRITERS?"
Yes folks, if a game has words... someone probably got paid to write them... even if that game isn't an RPG or a visual novel...

We’ve been hearing for 20 years plus how we should just sit down and have a meal with people who think black, Latino and LGBTQ people are subhumans who must be killed. No.
The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.
