The daily existence of millennials is laughing while crying. On special occasions, we alternate screams of laughter and despair.
I've just realized. Banks used to be big imposing high street buildings because it gave people confidence they had money and weren't fly by night. A big elaborate website was the internet equivalent: proving someone had invested £ and was here to stay.
You can't trust that any more.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot
After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…
The instant a professional organisation or convention uses “AI” is the moment it shows itself unworthy of prestige or member money.
It’s that simple.
I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?"
A list of ideas!
A tumblr post from user nitrwrighter on March 26 last year: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM. #the current horrors 2025 edition
Also, if you’re having trouble concentrating you’re not alone.

Located wherever federal enforcement requires dependable accommodations, we deliver polished rooms, streamlined coordination, and an operating environment free from unnecessary complications. Our properties provide the full range of services expected of a global hospitality brand, including thoughtfully designed accommodations, attentive service, and a formal commitment to cooperation. By aligning comfort with authority, we support continuity of operations and ensure expectations are met without interruption. At Hilton ICE, hospitality is not a reflection of values.

Thank you for your note. The use of the Hilton name on HiltonICE.com is intentional and expressive. The website is a work of political commentary and parody addressing Hilton's publicly reported cooperation with ICE, presented in the visual language of a hotel brand to critique that decision.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.
thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

we are in this constant artistic conversation that is coated in years of fingerprints and patina from being handled by artists and being shaped by our senses and our bodies and our gravity and physics and how sound carries in the air, and that is such a precious, beautiful thing

“Art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation.”

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.
