I have seen the same song and dance play out so many times in the last decade and half: the author's objection, always, is that society is rotten, and their "solution", always, is total societal reorganization, with even herculean political endeavors being presented as less than the bare minimum.

I think this opinion piece is quite emblematic of what we around these parts have come to call "Woke 1", i.e social justice practiced primarily as an extension of left-wing academic discourse, with all the issues and limitations that implies.

Many of us ADHD people are on drugs for life either way. If you take the drugs away it will just change how long that life lasts.

Great thread with a fantastic piece at the end.

Those of us who grew up knowing summer is hell on earth are so much better adapted for this moment than those of you poisoned by a culture that paints summer as fun and frolic.

come on man no one actually likes Grill’d or Subway in the year 2026, they are clearly laundering drug money or something

This implies a Guzman y Gomez opening in the wrong country would immediately start a war. It’s the inverse of the Golden Arches Theory. (Yes, I am the 21st century Tom Friedman)

All countries with Guzman y Gomez have gone to war against each other

It’s so wild that every South Asian country has responded to India’s Modi era sclerosis with novel malaises of their own. Imagine throwing away a generational opportunity to be the most interesting place in South Asia, somehow all of India’s neighbours managed to do exactly that.

single party neoliberalism is wild

It’s a shame the technology they use in NSW to make road markings visible in the rain does not work in Canberra, or we would just use it right? Right?
