Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Lmaooo a guy on tiktok who posts booktok stuff and dark romance thirst traps in his motorcycle helmet argued with my correction of someone saying “must of” instead of “must have/must’ve”.

I can’t tell if it’s just ragebait or if there’s booktok influencers who don’t read

Y’all listen to today’s NYT Daily podcast?

Times journalist who broke the Theranos scandal is pretty confident he’s identified Satoshi Nakamoto, and they interview the guy

Listen he can say the obvious things he wants now and you can call it bravery, but you’re not getting me to stan John Brennan’s pro-torture ass

It is currently in there, and referenced as “crude” and “expletive laden”🤷‍♂️ along writing about how Trump has currently made this threat to target civilian infrastructure multiple times, with inconsistent deadlines.

This just isn’t a piece trying to rehabilitate Trump.

They’re SO good

Watching that Louis Theroux Manosphere doc, and man. These guys are all putting on such lame acts that melt the second they’re around women lol. Feel bad for the poor suckers that get conned into giving those LARPers money or attention.

Not a one can salute, throw a punch, or grow chest hair lmao

One of my fave commanders

Spam musubi, Frito Pie, and Fluffernutters all fkn rip dude

Yeah I literally don’t care ab the city or the NFL, I just stumbled across this exchange and was like “how are two ppl sharing very specific and conflicting stats?” and upon reading was dumbfounded

Did you read what you posted? That’s the combined total of offensive fumbles and fumbles forced by the defense, to highlight poor fumble recovery.

Using that stat to support a comment about “catching a fucking ball” is misleading.

Y’all think Paramount wants to buy HBO/WB because Paramount can’t make 1 good show, and HBO doesn’t know how to make a bad show?

Just binged A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and maaaaaan. Excellent. The casting is so good, the characters are so strong and vibrant, the cinematography and artistry at every level? Ugh sooooo great

Soul Warden is a banger. Love that thing. Recently found a lot of affection for Spore Frog as well

Jinxed it didn’t ya

My rep (KY-04) is Thomas Massie, who has been nothing but an embarrassing diehard libertarian any time he’s made the news for a long time, but I’ve gotta say he for sure sticks to his principles and he’s been doing excellent lately. Like really makin me proud.

"Why do you care so much about DC and Superman?"

Because I saw something when the Gunn movie came out, a real shift in opinion on Superman and what he means in a 2020's world. It spoke to a world we lived in and I started to see more people be like "maybe we should be kinder".

As a huge SW fan with a deep love for it, I always say “no one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans” lmao

I get critique, and not everything is to everyone’s taste, but now there’s toxic fandom ecosystems where the way they interact with media is JUST nitpicking and whining online, not enjoying it

That Alysa Liu performance, WOW

Never heard such a lively and loud figure skating arena before.

A post card promoting the post office that says, MAKE LOVE LAST

Good advice for Valentine's Day, terrible advice for an orgy

All watch anything @mikeflanaganfilm.com directs he’s my favorite horror director!!

“The raw sex appeal of Ken Watanabe” – my wife last night, watching the Last Samurai

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

I assume j, k, and l were picked to skip back, pause, and skip forward since that’s where your hand should be at home on a keyboard.

Also using the right hand home keys makes sense because it’s probably either on the mouse OR keyboard, so it can always be used to navigate videos.

I can’t be dealing with Warhammer 40K right now, doesn’t feel as satirical as it used to.

God Bill Maher is such an idiot

“You don’t just shake off decades of indoctrination”
“I did”
Yeah, with frankly very little inspection or reckoning with anything interesting or difficult, and now he’s gone from being a disciplined soldier to an impulsive attempted murderer for a few dramatic moments but no real development?

The rest of the episodes are full of the same things. Moments of over the top dramatic moments and cliche dialog that writes off so much more interesting nuance, characterization, and worldbuilding, for the token appearance of sci-fi or the façade of being Halo.
