i quite liked the materialists but i also am a big fan of quiet, somber films where characters calmly ruminate on the nature of love and connection

imho, the first season of Stranger Things is quite good, then each successive season is less interesting in ways that are typical for a long-running show
horror get demystified. stakes escalate to absurdity. writers get precious about characters while actors get exhausted repeating the same beats

there’s a fun bit where junior staff at orgs I work with often send emails that are too long but painstakingly written
managers use very tight bulleted lists, with a clear BLUF and bolded action items
and senior execs messages are like, “who status report??? where are we? can someone send EoB?”

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

idk if it’s people trained on puzzle box television shows but i am very bemused by people tearing their hair out, trying to figure out if the camera holding on an object in the background of a scene means it’s important
like, there is a human operator behind the camera. there is intentionality.

richard nixon, 11/21/63: frankly, i would describe president kennedy as… uhhh… weak. pathetic. not a man of the arena. i doubt he’ll even make it to ‘64 given his… disappointments
richard nixon, 11/23/63: jack kennedy was the best of us. a vigorous figure. one of the greatest. i always admired him.

trumpworld is extremely enmeshed in the entire right-wing ragebait ecosystem so they hyper-focus on these grievances that have almost no penetration in the rest of the country and pursue actions that appear unnecessary, spiteful, and wildly disproportionate

there's something very fascinating psychologically about how almost every person in lee harvey oswald's life (his mother, his wife, many of his co-workers) retreated into conspiracism.
the man who drove oswald to work refused to believe that he hand delivered an assassin to his target.

something i'd like to explore further in a TCT mod is the notion that, for most problems, a single electoral victory is not a cure-all and there are contexts in which it may be better not to win, that you can compromise yourself to such a degree that victory is worthless or counterproductive
