It is obviously not actually the worst thing about the conflict, but the way that real people in Israel/Palestine dying is regarded as a backdrop for so many American elites as a backdrop for own psychodrama and grudges is so fucking repulsive to me.

Technology and mass market incentives are great at optimizing for visible yet superficial product attributes traditionally seen as outward quality signals -- like the redness, shape and size of a tomato -- at the expense of actual quality and substance -- like taste and nutrition contents. Appearance over substance. We've done this for countless product categories -- fruits, meat, furniture, clothing. Now generative AI is bringing it to cultural creation at scale.

Wow, picking a late season Arrested Development Steve Holt lookalike who wants to be the nation’s Chief Uterus Inspector & whose entire rise in politics came from calling his family lazy white trash and taking money from the world’s creepiest gay billionaire…isn’t polling well?
