I teach bystander intervention for a living and trained nearly 30,000 people this year. This is absolutely a growing phenomenon and there's already some academic, peer reviewed research to back up how widespread incivility has become.
TLDR: People forget they live in a society.

I encounter people who seem to have lost touch with the concept of being a physical presence in a three dimensional space. Their body being present in, say, a doorway, while they stare at their phone cannot occur to them. Everyone is now the only human who exists. Seems bad.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

the number of creepy emails and responses I've been getting to my videos have been creeping upwards lately, and I've gotta say, if you're going to threaten me, at least do it in a way that doesn't make you sound like you're auditioning for a basement-budget remake of Scream

The best way of taking power from Musk is to get yourself out of the personal vanity propaganda engine he set up on top of the former social network known as Twitter. No government should be using that as a media channel.

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

"My buddy Steve, who doesn't wash his ass and calls women 'females,' whose last steady job was cleaning the 7-Eleven hot dog machine and he got fired, can't get laid. Here's 4,000 words about why that's the fault of Susan, a constitutional lawyer/supermodel who rescues puppies in her spare time."

Chloé Zhao Has Looked Into the Void
The director of “Hamnet” says that her art has been shaped by her early love of manga, her relationship to the natural world, and her neurodivergence.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.
