everyone should work on art. the election is a career opportunity for criminals, and is beneath you. it has never been more important to just make something that isn't disgusting. manifest a more beautiful world, if only in the small corner of it that you can touch.

there was a huge swing music revival in the late 90's, "zoot suit riot" came out in 1997, people just say the stupidest shit on here

there are important ideas missing from nathan fielder's fantastically entertaining movie. first, and most importantly, a working theranos machine would have been a horrific nightmare leading to countless millions of healthy people suffering iatrogenic deaths.

this is not to absolve her or blame, but in such a situation she would have no better option than to smile and nod, to dissimulate relentlessly, to fanatically avoid acknowledging manifest reality.

fielder has made the single most inventive documentary i've ever seen, a timeless masterpiece. people will be trying to re-create the effect it has on the viewer for decades. it nevertheless falls short of investigating these key points, and the public remains in the dark.

potentially funny bit would be to always post about the big outrages 2 or 3 weeks behind schedule, at the exact moment they get memory holed. like today you'd post about the converse ad that allegedly invoked lynching, every bit as melodramatic as people were when it was fresh.

note this bit could work both ways. you could imitate people who buy into the retarded outrage cycles OR the people whose thing is counter-signaling the outrage.

i got real sick last week, had to go home early from work, i ate some leftover pizza then went to bed. the next day i felt mostly better and went back to work. one strange thing the covid insanity did to people was convince a lot of them that being sick is a big deal. it's not.

you just take it easy until you get better. if you're lucky enough to live with someone who loves you, they make you tea. if you live alone you have to make your own tea. there's nothing to it.

you read biographies of 19th or even early 20th century writers and their time at university is basically just reading to the point of complete exhaustion, just reading reading reading and all their friends were doing the same thing

now you pay what, like a quarter million dollars to act like the trashiest people in the country for a few years and maybe along the way you learn that racism is bad and also a bunch of nonsense about gender

sometimes news stories just become THE story and everyone gets mad an yells about it and especially when elections are around the corner it occasionally feels, uh, slightly inorganic that this one story among all things that happened becomes the thing we must talk about.

with theranos back in the news, it's a good opportunity to re-visit some essential wisdom from john ioannidis, the scientist who was the first man to call bullshit on that particular scam, and during covid was one of the world's true intellectual heroes. jci.org/articles/view/181923

he is too scrupulous to say it plainly, but as a layman i am free to: scientific research is a snake pit of hucksters and frauds, the vast majority of published research is simply bullshit, and the effects of this crisis are so significant its hard to wrap your mind around it.
