We need to stop holding our breaths for a coup de grace. There won't be one. It'll be "death by a thousand cuts."

The best movie in the series.
☢️#97. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, 1981. Like children imitating a magic trick, this masterwork of simplicity inspired an entire sub-genre of inferior work - never to be outdone. That is until the magician retook the stage again in 2015. #classic 5/5 ☢️

The true value of social media platforms is to remind us never to underestimate the capacity of anonymous randos to summon extreme confidence when seizing an opportunity to scold a stranger with respect to matters they know nothing about

Given that we all did perfectly well before there was an internet — better in fact — we’ll be just fine if it ever goes away.
We've got a new group of Verge articles that are completely free to read (today only)!

First up, from @sesmith.lol: The internet is forever. But also, it isn’t. What happens to our culture when websites start to vanish at random?
What happens when the internet disappears?
Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?

What is it about social media that encourages ostensibly grown people to talk like six year old children?

The mindless overuse of 'comfy' and 'cozy' has gotten so bad that these words are now used to describe things to which they fail to have even the remotest connection.

Just saw someone describe one of the most sadistic, brutal, gory horror films as "comfy." 🤪

The first Knives Out was a fun, clever film.

There was zero need to turn it into some wretched "franchise."

Is there any more clueless analyst than David Brooks? The man can't see a disintegration happening in front of his face. And his "wise elder who knows better" affect is so unappealing, I can barely stand to look at him. The poor man needs to be put out to pasture.
