Gen X and Millennials: There are adults now who refer to movies set in the 1980's as Period Films the same way you'd describe WWII movies. You're welcome.

What if we reclaimed whiteness as an expansive, good-humored identity that wasn’t whiny and fragile.
I don’t want to speak for all white people, but I’m pretty sure we’ll get through this.

The appeal of de-regulation is the bias of living in a THOROUGHLY REGULATED world. "I would simply be fine" is easy to project into the future when you've has spent your life actively protected from harms you literally cannot imagine because you've mistaken the protection as inherent to reality
So obviously COVID and the subsequent backlash and politicizing of the vaccine had a huge impact on this, but I also think these numbers are indicative of a fascinating reality: a society that has grown up so utterly protected from disease that it no longer values or even understands that protection

I’m not sure that “collapse of the current AI hype cycle” is something that should be averted. Surely another school of thought would be “Hahaha nah fuck these cunts”?
Here's a list of all future signs that the generative AI bubble is bursting, and why they're significant. Tomorrow's piece on wheresyoured.at will explain why everybody has shifted against AI, and what will have to happen to avert a collapse of the current AI hype cycle.

I think J K Rowling should get genetically tested because she claims to be a woman but I think she's actually a massive piece of shit.
