I don't think Musk is dropping 88s in random places and talking about prosecuting Fauci because he actually believes in it, I think he just sees that as a way to drum up more support, making it "the radical left hates Elon Musk" instead of "Elon Musk is a dumb jerk everyone hates" and he gets to coast on the culture war.

This isn't better, mind you.

Yeah but we've recently seen multiple high-profile examples where it starts for this reason but eventually becomes inseparable from the "real" thing.

Fascism is pretty much designed to be THE ideology for sucking up to wealthy assholes after all. It's literally 'You are the greatest and best person in the world and should be able to do whatever you want and destroy everything you don't like while we constantly praise and worship you'

This feels like an odd thing to say in response to... well, that, but they're so depressingly predictable. I assume (because I really don't want to click into any Fox News stuff) this is the end result of that "schools are installing litter boxes for kids who identify as cats" thing. Which, of course, has been thoroughly debunked, but obviously that doesn't matter. Just keep digging in!

(The real story was that one or two schools were stocking up on cat litter due to its various possible uses during a shooting lockdown or other similar crisis. So, yeah. Great job guys.)

I never felt like I was quite part of either, so I used to call from around 76 to 83 "generation x-wing" cause it lined up fairly neatly with when Star Wars was in theaters. But I never got the term to stick. Stop trying to make fetch happen, Phy. I've also heard "gap generation" and "xennials".

Now I just go with "elder millennial" cause when someone starts yarking about avocado toasts or whatever I can be like "gently caress right off, I'm a millennial in my 40s and my feet hurt when I go downstairs in the morning"

Contaminated spinach causing serious hallucinations, sickness in Sydney

At least nine people in Sydney have developed serious hallucinations and sickness after eating a contaminated batch of baby spinach.

NSW Health is advising people not to eat “Riviera Farms” branded baby spinach with an expiry date of December 16.

That area is also fun where you realize that a lot of things they teach you are now changing and the classes haven't adapted. Stuff like learning about the card catalog a year or two before everything is digitized, how to cite and research things before the advent of wikis etc.
