@bonchieredstate They call it an “opinion” column, that’s how they’ve always planned to get away with this with zero accountability. It’s just an opinion. “Deeply reported.” On the front page.

They keep using the phrase “deeply reported,” as if it makes any logical sense.

@daigakuzaimu Who is the guy who get his photo with Elon and Tim Cook then sits down AT THE TABLE WITH ELON MUSK and decides nah I’ll just scroll through my smartphone now?

@RespectfulMemes I don’t understand why distributors of popcorn refuse to give a straight answer on calories. No one eats a teaspoon of unpopped kernels. No one knows how many ounces of unpopped kernels are in 15 cups of popped corn. Just say how many calories are IN THIS BAG when you eat it.

@WatcherGuru For someone supposedly all about the consumer she’s shockingly clueless about what bitcoin is and does and how it frees people, isn’t she.

@BecomingCritter Achilles did complain quite a bit in the Iliad, might as well lean in to it I guess. (But does anyone really want to see Page reenact Achilles sulking in his tent and complaining bitterly to his mother about Agamemnon’s treatment of him?)

WOW: “The Odyssey” Achilles Actor Elliott Page shares images of the effects of wearing leather arm guards on set all day. This is dedication!

@bennyjohnson @elonmusk He has such a distinctive run😂 it really should be featured in a cartoon (affectionately)

Of the many profoundly positive cultural shifts that @elonmusk has made — the normalization of children in public and professional spaces is the greatest.
Stop stigmatizing parenthood.
Children are God’s greatest blessing.
Celebrate being a father.

@indexnforgetit I always wondered why blood was seemingly different — why it isn’t useable // isn’t drawn when a person dies, yet organs are …

Note for less-cultured Europeans: you can only call it Kirkland Cabernet Sauvignon if it comes from the Costco region of the United States.

For serious winos, you can now buy a bucket of wine from Costco.

@IMAO_ My first tiny taste was when my family was moving. There was an entrance to the “attic” — just insulation, beams, maybe 3 feet of head space — from a closet. I went up there, tucked a tiny piece of paper with my name and year on it, saying don’t forget me, I once lived.

My earliest memory of existential dread was when I was 5yo in the toy section of a store, looking at a toy thinking, “If I could get my mom to buy me that, I would be so happy.” But I remembered all my previous toys and how the happiness they brought me was fleeting and realized this new toy would be the same as would be all toys after it.

@_The_Prophet__ Also, this is the Covid class — the 2 years of no in-class instruction, no graduation ceremony, no dances, no athletics, isolation except via virtual means.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear.
It migrated inward.
Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space.
That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons.
So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public.
The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it.
The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open.
The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility.
That is the trade.
A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation.
This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question.
The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults.
It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation.
The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

Huge collapse in drinking among high schoolers 👀

@GerryCallahan I’m guessing if he removed the trailer from his burnt-down lot that they still haven’t allowed him to rebuild on that the city would seize it, claiming he abandoned it? (And supposedly the people who lost their homes still owe property taxes, at risk of the city seizing it.)

Wait. He’s living in a hotel room with his wife and kids? Well, fuck him then. Let’s re-elect the corrupt, lying communist who let his house burn down.
TMZ@TMZ
Spencer Pratt has gained traction in his campaign for L.A. Mayor by showing what he says Karen Bass did to his family -- forcing them to live in a trailer after his home burned down. Though, Pratt has really been staying at the Hotel Bel-Air for more than a month. Mind you, you can't get a room for less than $1,500 a night.

@MeghansMole This level of hubris reminds me of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston about a year before they divorced. They thought that with their magical, glittery, supernova stardom (and no doubt intellectual brilliance) they could bring peace to — I kid you not — the Middle East.

@GPAIndiana 😂 I like how there’s both a mat AND a pillow in front of the bouncy one, just in case.

You really understand grandkids when you've got two... and realize real quick, one is not like the other.
One of them sits nicely, uses their manners, and could probably host a tea party for royalty without breaking a sweat.
The other one? I'm pretty sure if I turned my back for five minutes, they'd reorganize the house, the dog, and possibly my entire belief system.
One says, "Grandma/Grandpa, may I please have a cookie?"
The other is already eating it... and negotiating tor two more.
I love them both the same-but let's just say one of them came with an instruction manual... and the other one came with a warning label. 😂❤️

@CrazyDaysPoster I’ve wondered whether her facelift(s) worked so well because she had such a fuller face to start — there was more room to pull it tighter and have it look normal. But her face in her 40s and 50s didn’t really look the same person from the Brat Pack era.

This permanent A list actress had the best facelift ever seen. Then she started taking the weekly shot and ruined the effect. Her plastic surgeon has now tried to correct it, but nothing can be done about the fat lost in the face. It is better than it was, but she ruined it.

@the_culturist_ You know what? Could that distortion be a depiction of what a 4-dimensional object might look like in our 3D world?
(It reminds me of illustrations showing what a 3-dimensional object would look like in a 2D world.)
