Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

Trying to figure out import tariffs for something shipped from Ireland for the studio, and the clearest answer I've gotten is "Not sure; you should call a trade lawyer." This sucks. I can't budget shit anymore!

Democrats are unable, it seems, to accept *any* premise not handed to them by Republicans.

"It is not any kind of full-spectrum authoritarian command, or even the grubby paranoid snitchscape of oppressive surveillance states, but the more familiar sputtering busybody bullshit and hair-trigger offense of a deranged Homeowners Association."

I saw someone On Here say we are very clearly living through a moment of serious mass hysteria and it has really been quite a centering framework these last few days

And we will hear for years, as we have already done, that they are being silenced and treated unfairly by the very media they literally own.

Oh, hey! I wrote a thing for a guy you may know! This book is gonna be filled with so many all-stars, I cannot wait.

I’m gonna be in Tokyo in a month; I’ve done or am planning to do or have no interest in a good number of the *most* Touristy Things. What else should I def do?
