in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

Good article, but I think we could add that many of the current government officials & influencers spreading political point-scoring falsehoods during crisis events HAVE BECOME gov officials & influencers BECAUSE of their bullshit-spreading talents. System effects of rotten attention dynamics.

Since 2024's Hurricane Helene, 800+ storm victims in western North Carolina have applied for buyouts under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. State officials vetted applications and sent nearly 600 requests to Washington. So far, not a single approval has come through.

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Helene. Not one has been approved.
More than a year after applying for a federal buyout, many North Carolina homeowners have heard almost nothing definitive.

I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

i could be wrong but this has strong “banning this book will only sell more copies on amazon, suckers!” the people who need to read that book are kids without credit cards & amazon accounts & with oppressive families, not the extremely online with disposable cash for occasional point-making buys.

this just has me thinking about how so much of this government and the movement around it is purely a matter of aesthetics. is there a strategic reason for produce a new warship? maybe. but my hunch is that this is happening because the president thinks it will look cool.

This is true of lots of reporters, but it more reflects the limited resources daily journalists have and pressure to publish 5 seconds before the TV station than the actual skill or care of the journalist.

The only barrier to playing TTRPGS is the requirement of not being an asshole. Respect for the table, the GM, your fellow players, the game you’re playing. Understanding, empathy, willingness to collaborate and have fun. From that beautiful things can happen. ❤️

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.
