This take doesn't seem that hot but idk anything about long covid. It's probably okay to feel crushed and done with covid overall, but if you don't word everything perfectly there will be a wapo journalist tweeting four thousand times at you.

Of all the things glenn is right about, it's that this kind of behavior should be humiliating for Taylor but is in fact just something she and lots of mainstream journalists do to boost their clout. Glenn is also a good object lesson in how no one should use Twitter lest it destroy their brains

still thinking about this lol. I don't think it "solves" any problem, just creates a new problem where elderly people are completely devalued and not actually fix any of the societally damaging aspects of the demographic crisis.

I suppose there's an argument that the resulting wealth redistribution via inheritance might encourage Japanese couples to have more children, but it seems like the money would be going from 65+ year olds to their 40+ year old children who aren't going to be having any more kids anyway. they'd have to couple the suicides with some sort of forced generational ultimogeniture, where the inheritance would go from the decedent to their great grandchildren or grandchildren rather than their children. and even then I’m not sure that fixes anything and would probably create new class antagonisms

Thing is under capitalism they genuinely don't know how to NOT consistently turbofuck young people. Only answer they possibly have is to inflict horrific cruelty on some random people and hope that shuts everyone up.

covid is still killing around three thousand americans a week, the US has below 70% vaccination rate and it's never going to get better than this. next year's round of vaccinations won't be free any more so it will get worse.

It's easy just go find some terra nihllus and ship all your no-hopers to the frontier. The ones who survive the indigenous "invasions" get to be the new petite bourgeois of that territory. Rinse and repeat :)

The thing about that Times article (always use archive.ph to read Times articles, or turn off Javascript in your browser) is the relish that mathematics professor takes in the torture aspect. If you go beyond "let's kill all the olds" (already intolerable) to "let's kill all the olds in a horribly painful way" you're an rear end in a top hat with extra sauce.
No one said "let's kill all the olds in a horribly painful way". They said "let's make all the olds kill themselves in a horribly painful way".

People are always going to be like that, it’s institutions that are supposed to apply historical knowledge and collective resources to better deal with things like plagues.


Unfortunately capital has hollowed out all of our institutions so we lack the most basic hygienic functions of civilisation! :imunfunny:

Idk the dehumanization of the Israeli populace is a pretty important component of the ongoing repression of the Palestinian people. I personally wouldn't drop that line without further explanation but it's not only correct but it is very important and I feel a useful idea in looking at other western cultures.

His genetic clone sent him pictures of him doing hosed up poo poo while dressed as Homelander to make Homelander think he'd lost his mind (I think?). Like a lot of stuff by Garth Ennis I started off liking The Boys and by the end I was absolutely sick of its poo poo.
