A lot of shows, I’d rather watch the “behind the scenes how we made this” featurettes than the actual show.
In another life, I shoulda been in show business.

Become Unbecome
I’m old enough to remember when Taylor Swift was widely accused of being the white supremacist racist near-Nazi and Kanye West was the anointed representative of all Black interests.
How times change.

True Long For
I had "long COVID" for 2 months. It was a lingering cough.

Yep. At leats 50% of Long Covid was/is probably not Covid-related at all, and of the remainder 90% is “I had a cough that lasted for a few months.”
Don’t get me wrong: there are real cases of Long Covid, just as there are for any similar virus and resultant post-viral syndromes. But they’ll be about the same rate as normal. Civilization-destroying levels of Long Covid are not and will not be a thing no matter how many times people get Covid. I know many on the left wish for this, but they are right outta luck.
Insectual
But sure, you’re gonna get tons of people to eat bugs on the regular. Right.
Lib fantasies are weird, just in different ways than weird (and more destructive, generally) conservative fantasies.
Art Theft
AI art is theft and I ask my fellow creatives to deeply consider the systems you are promoting when you use it

Going by this fucking idiotic view, all art is theft. Clown world stuff. I should stop reading her because Covid broke her, like many — she’s now 95% wrong about everything.
(I don’t know that this has anything to do with Covid but a lot of people’s views seem to have shifted radically as a result, in all sorts of weird ways.)
Geared Up
Russia stans are hopping up and down hooting "This video proves Ukraine is WEAK!!!" and meanwhile they don't seem to get the basic point that Russia is getting its ass kicked up and down the battlefield by girls who do Pikachu dances.

She has nice gear. Meanwhile, the Russian cold weather gear seems to consist of burning tires and looted half-broken crap.
(Also, interesting how easily you can tell that it’s a woman in the video despite the fact that she’s completely covered — contra the claims of the “biology isn’t real” and “men and women are exactly identical in all ways” clowns.)
Miss Nothing
Video quality is terrible, but it’s worth it for Taylor’s voice and performance. She was only 17 when this was recorded, amazingly enough — because she sounds so much older (in a good way).
Sledgehammer Cover
That drummer! She’s amazing.
Key Facilities
An adversary could cripple the entire US economy and most of the world economy by bombing 10 datacenters in various places in the United States.
Talk about concentrated risk.
