A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

The Trump administration plans to drop a federal lawsuit against a chemical manufacturer that released high levels of a carcinogen from its Louisiana plant.
Two market meltdowns.
One common denominator.
When your FB friend is “anti-war”, not “pro-Putin” and thinks Zelensky should be making peace deletes your comments for asking “What does the end of the war look like? Does the Ukraine remain a sovereign nation?”, you know they are lost to the brain-rot.
Got my FB comment deleted twice and then blocked from asking what does the end of the war look like? Does the Ukraine remain a sovereign nation? And well… guess my friend didn’t have the Russia talking point yet so he just deleted it lol.
Have mostly been doing at home workouts as of late due to getting the new house ready, but glad to see my gym has upgraded the cardio equipment with machines that work with GymKit. #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney

Okay I’m sold on Hevy, yesterday I thought they did not have complications on Apple Watch, but didn’t think to try the different complication types.
Just had my 2nd workout using the Hevy app, love the interface, not so sure about the social aspect just yet but the functionality of the app with the Apple Watch is on point. #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney

On more important news: a new PROOF report on Trump’s first day in office is coming tonight.
As I promised readers in December, my focus in my second-term Trump reporting as a presidential historian isn’t on stoking outrage but rather “leopard journalism”: showing how his actions hurt _his_ voters.
Great community around F1 and tech news but wanted to see if anyone has recommendations or starter packs for the following
- Nintendo
- PlayStation
- Xbox
- Fitness
- Racing games
TIA
F1 community is pretty strong here! Would love to know of any good starter packs for the video game topics you listed. Also got a follow from me :)
After the mass EO signing yesterday, has me really thinking about this ProPublica article on the folks in Sulphur, LA
www.propublica.org/article/trum...
With another wave of new users joining Bluesky, we would like to re-share our starter pack of over 50 verified F1-related accounts
We think it is important that we do not let misleading or impersonating accounts grow on this platform
