I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Some of these Gaiman responses make me feel like people have got to loosen their grip on their faves in general. I know not everybody knows that particular trial of having gone through a Marion Zimmer Bradley phase but, Jesus. Let's be adults

Everyone here is going to put away their flags now, right? Right??

You can usually get better deals on insurance when renting through 3rd party sites (check24, autoeurope, etc) but I only get the full insurance if I'm renting in a country where I'm worried something might happen (ie Italy, the UK for me)

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

So glad all the media companies I worked for in the early 2000s wouldn't shutup about producing "evergreen content"

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

Some neighbors' phone alarm has been going off for the past 30 minutes, the same 2 bars of a jangly little piano riff just blaring out their open window, and I'm not sure what the appropriate response is here... Shouting "wake the fuck up!"? Molotov cocktail through the window?

we should make drivers do whacky out of the way shit to get to their destination instead of cyclists and pedestrians. they're literally in a rolling living room and we're giving them all the ways to go wherever they want. fuck that shit.
