This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.

We used to write dystopian science fiction about this, you know.

1/ First time I watched Fight Club, I was a teenager. I thought it was the coolest thing ever put on film. I watched it again recently in my forties. I finally understood what it was actually about. And almost everyone I know who loves it is still watching it the way I did at 17. 🧵👇

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

God works in mysterious ways. Like if you spend decades hoarding wealth and destroying the housing market then one day you have to hear your adult son cumming.

Since the early 2010s nearly every working class voice has been excised out of the media, so this beige chummy middle-class bakeoff-ification is the end result.

I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change. So what can you do? Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay £15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like we’ve always done.

People drink less today not because they’re being smarter about their health but because they don’t have the energy to throw themselves into the unknown of the night. I’m not sure what rates of fidelity are but I don’t think too many people are even capable of passionate romance fully possessing you towards lust or love. It’s neutered, it’s safe, it’s dull. It’s fear of the leap. The sad part is the only thing people seem to be willing to try is to suffer. Punishment for the embarrassing state of no vitality. People have never been more bored.

i think women today are a lot less scandalous than they used to be. whenever i learn about the affairs of womens past, im always stunned at the things they did back in the day that women today dont even dare to entertain the thought of doing.
