  • This “new phone every year” is the worst consumer crapfest we have going. AI features feel like clutching at straws when seemingly everyone hates the battery life on every single phone. Slap a larger battery in there? Well now you get shit AI that burns whatever extra capacity was gained. I can’t name a single quality on an iPhone model from the last 6 years that I truly wanted, other than the size of my 13 mini. It works fine and it fits in my pocket. Now make one that stays on for a full 24 hours and doesn’t need a battery replacement every 2 years.



  • This is how I feel RFK jr has always operated. He does/proposes/thinks progressive things right up until it really goes off the rails. Like, he argued there are medical biases against Black Americans (very much true and well researched), but then segued into the COVID-19 vaccines being medical experiments on minorities and tried to discourage vaccination that way. He usually starts with a good cause but inevitably drags it into conspiracy territory. Also someone is sanewashing his Wikipedia article because there’s a lot of his bullshit missing from a few months ago.




  • It kind of merged into a couple things, from what I’ve seen: “wellness” (you know the kind, antivaxx mommy blog crap, Joe Rogan raw meat diets, supplements), “preppers” (people ready for a race war and living off the grid a la The Turner Diaries), and the “tradwife/MIGTOW” stuff. There’s the splinter adherents from various right-wing influencer podcasts thinking JFK or whoever is going to reemerge at Dealy Plaza, but those invariably fizzle out. The integration into broader movements is where it’s thriving. You get lured in with yoga, then next thing you know you’re canning beans because you won’t be the one eating bugs because that’s what the democrats want.
