this thread makes me think that we need a basic media literacy class in schools to grasp such advanced concepts as 'the character is not the author' and 'depicting terrible things is not endorsement of them'

it's all over QAnon forums in particular, but it's a big thing in general. whole realms of discourse have been driven by rich guys' daughters going to college!

@BeijingPalmer “It should be illegal for my kids to stop talking to me” is a massively underrated undercurrent in reactionary politics right now.

regular reminder that plenty of democracies, from France to South Korea, have prosecuted former leaders, and it's generally good for democracy.

the more bizarre a Joe Biden story is, the more likely it is it to be true, because he has lived a very strange life full of interesting events.

I read half of this book and it was bad in an extremely bland way, it did make me laugh when the sequel came out and it was about the *other* type of small business that is actually very hard to run but people fantasize about being cozy

a novel that dares to ask the question: what if a Starbucks manifested in the world of “D&D” and every logistical problem were brushed away with “someone else does it off screen, ig”? what if we wrote a Discworld novel but without any jokes, wit, or memorable characters?

if we ban tiktok many tiktok influencers will lose a platform that's important to them, but we must acknowledge that there will also be some negatives.

"A while ago, David and Julia's marriage had gotten stale. Then David found himself attracted to a new sales associate. But, he says, this wasn't be a problem. He just wouldn't tell Julia. David practices unethical non-monogamy. It's a new idea - but in some ways an old one."

the Nazis and Japanese govt were evil, the bombing war was in some ways necessary for both political and military reasons, but if you can read about toddlers being incinerated in Tokyo and Dresden without feeling a sense of horror there's something wrong with you

Just found out about this historical event that I think supports my political views! Can’t believe they don’t even teach us this in schools, apart from when they did and I wasn’t listening.
