That's what I saw.

not cool:
substack
america, broadly
jalen green
"knowing ball"
winging it
rot / slop
forced y2k / mixtape-era nostalgia
slurs
hearing my old job turned to AI for writing
digital-only communities
"banger-hunting"
cultural pessimism
short-form video / long-form audio (people with mics in studios)
scrolling
damning:
technofascism
de-funding the sciences / the arts / the humanities / public broadcasting
oligarch pigs at the trough starving the masses
christian nationalism (aka white supremacy)
neo-con trad-catholicism (aka white supremacy)
"futurists" whose vision is AI / worker replacement, venture / vulture hedgefund capitalism, and a perpetually poor population (aka white supremacy)
zionism (aka imperialism aka colonialism aka white supremacy)
every effort to make you uneducated, uninformed, sick, scared, poor, unemployed, and disposable for the extraction of the last years of our value before the ruling class escapes to their islands / doomsday bunkers in time for the climate crisis
