Since 2020, I feel like we’re all living in a bad dystopian Netflix series that the writers don’t know how to end.

Store bought salad being dowsed in the same Chemicals used to clean your toilet won’t surprise anyone.
Just about every type of food production has been corrupted in favour of profit.

Christ, I'm pretty sure there's a secret lab underneath San Francisco where they are attempting to grow the most insufferable type of guy imaginable.

Sounds like a bad movie, but it's a true story.
A beautiful Chinese woman with a fake passport has been arrested after marrying at least 14 men in Las Vegas, and duping them out of tens of thousands of dollars.
She got married five times this year alone.

The recall is live! It requires 9,773 signatures and we already have 3,426. San Francisco cannot wait for her to run out the clock.
Sign the petition. Email @DanielLurie. Email the Board. Email her office and demand she RESIGN. All tools are at RecallFielder.com.
Jackie Fielder must go.

He was renting my friend's house in Ladera after the fires. He skipped out on the lease and stiffed my friend for 60k when he bought his new place for 6 million cash. My friend ended up losing the house.

As a Gen Xer, how many times have you started typing a reply to a post, gotten halfway through, and then realized you just don’t care enough to finish it?

zoomers will not remember this, but we used to hold elections in this country and learn the results of those elections in the evening — on election day. the overwhelming majority of people simply assumed these results were legitimate.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Poorface might be the phrase of the current American creative culture.
Every industry has the same endemic vibe the more you start to notice. Design, tech, music, even the influencers.
This was a much more interesting read than I expected

Hollywood’s favorite story: the broke outsider who self-financed an $80k movie on credit cards.
The receipts: a ~$1M elite education, $330k in grants on her prior film, and a father - a Chinese real-estate and equity investor - credited as an executive producer.
I call it “poorface.” New piece: open.substack.com/pub/hollyw…

And just because you can lower permitting costs doesn't mean people will actually want to shoot in Los Angeles. Hard to get good driving shots on a car commercial when half the streets are covered by food vendor tents.
