There was plenty of disengagement when older people were younger—we called it apathy back then—but there was always something, in the end, that got young people on their feet.
For the life of me I cannot believe how quiet college campuses are this spring.
The young people who do engage mostly do so online, and in the form of blind and highly misinformed allegiance to online personalities. It's like they've been kettled to an alternative universe.
I don't know how or where we go from here.
Getting a strong sense that younger people are just not up for the fight in front of us.
I despise cross-generational conflict mostly because it's a favored tactic of authoritarians, but man, what has happened here: looks like young people, as a broad group, either don't see it or just don't care.
who will build the true City of God and help deliver eternal punishment to the City of the Devil.
People need to wake the fuck up.

They've stolen and are quoting and running City of God shit (ever read it? I have) where Catholics (and Mainline Protestants and everyone else) are the pagans, and the only true Christians are the evangelicals, 7/
Those concentration camps we're building? Those can hold a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Belonging to Opus Dei and having Deus Vult tattoos won't save anyone. 6/
Think you have a right to vote? Everyone knows that Catholics are immigrants, they'll pull you off the voting rolls and make you prove you're worthy (you'll never be one of them). 5/
...that's making this week's headlines has been serving a mission for children for more than 60 years.) Just wait until the IRS and FinCEN get involved, they'll be accusing the Catholic Church of moneylaundering and will be revoking tax exempt status. 4/
First the physical attacks on and arrests of priests protesting in the streets, then the repeated open verbal threats against the Pope, the pointed exclusion of Catholics from attending official government prayer services, and now they're going after funding and finances. (The Catholic charity 3/
...are over, same old story, nothing new.
This IS something new, in the United States at least, and people have no idea how big and evil this is going to become. The regime has moved from setting it up to running the plays, and there is a long tortured history in the world of what happens next. 2/
I've been trying to warn my Catholic friends for years now about the evangelical storm that is coming their way. No one thinks it could happen here (freedom of religion!), everyone thinks they've survived the prejudice before, the church is too strong, there are too many of us, those days 1/
These people are just incredibly superficial and flat out stupid. And he’s allegedly leading our military during wartime.
This is what they think leadership is. Behavior like this wouldn't be acceptable for a junior executive in a third rate company.
2. The upper and lower zone for each player is still set by a human in a computer screen who can’t even see the field.
3. The cameras used to determine pitch location are not near accurate enough for officiating purposes. This is purely an entertainment technology.
This is pure fantasy. I worked with the engineers who developed the original pitch tracking technology. The current system falls short in three areas:
1. It uses a 2D plane instead of a 3D model to define the plate, leading to gross misrepresentation and inaccuracy.
This is why, throughout history, traitors have been hung on the spot.

What world are you living in where you think she resigned and didn't lose her job. What world are you living in where you believe even a single word of what you said here.
I understand completely. I make very very few exceptions for Substack. Sarah Kendzior is one of them.
What shocked them was that, once upon a time, the nation sang along. ...
Times were never easy — the endurance of “Fast Car” proves that — but people were not always so publicly derisive of those suffering, and music was often an avenue of empathy.'
A song about Reagan-era struggle became a song about 21st-century survival. When my teenage children hear “Fast Car”, they do not wonder why the narrator cannot escape poverty or why a person with a job still has to live in a shelter. Those things happen all the time.
'“Fast Car” is not a relic of its time but tragically timeless. Combs’ cover could stay faithful because nothing in this country got better. That “Fast Car” can be passed down through generations without requiring explanation is both a songwriting triumph and a grim indictment of America. ...
Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, one of of the finest writers we have, reposted this piece in honor of her father, who passed away recently. And it is wrenching for everyone because of the truth it tells in its indictment of America.
Nothing--and I mean *nothing*--says you don't care about your country than continuing to belong to or support the Republican Party. They are in the literal business of hurting people for profit.

Maybe they’d like to talk about the imports who were responsible for the genocide of 60 million people across two continents. Is there video for that?

There was a time when I was digital publisher of Fortune and I would have a) had this story pulled immediately and b) had the writer and the editor responsible fired immediately.
What a total lie that Gen Z chooses this. They can't get healthcare, retirement and other benefits working this way, and they are painfully aware that these jobs are exploitative and dead end. You're just making shit up now.
