As long as they insist on spelling “Aussie” with a double S like that I’m gonna pronounce it with an S sound not a Z sound. Not my problem

let me help you: popular social media narratives are wrong. American life is not more precarious than ever, any more than crime is taking over our cities or immigrants are flooding across the border. these are all things we can measure and the measures aren’t ambiguous.

why the vibecession exists: because you can spit out some vapid BS about how precarity is worse than ever despite what the numbers say, you’ll get a bazillion retweets, but if you point out that claim doesn’t make sense or is incoherent or contradicted by data, you get four retweets and yelled at

I keep having to explain to older Jews that Israel’s actions matter, and to younger ones that the hatred and tropes and arguments all predate those actions.

THE POLITICAL STREAMER’S DILEMMA: Righteous anger earns views, but the vast majority of things in the world are too complicated to be blindingly angry about nonstop! The main thing that’s insane and enraging in an uncomplicated way is Donald Trump, and the normie libs are already on top of that.

But they knew they wouldn't be fine.

I asked them why they knew this. It was all social media based vibes.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

What the internet has taught me is that a lot of people don’t have values or even “politics” they just have ~their guys.~

one of the things that urbanists do, occasionally, is make Urbanist Pilgrimages to places that have functioning public transit systems. almost uniformly this means that they reject Downwardly Mobile Gentrifier Thought and embrace The Subway Works instead

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

This is a rehash of the vibecession debates but median household income adjusted for inflation hit a record in 2024 (2025 data will be released in September). It’s just *not true* in any objective sense that people don’t have money anymore. It may *feel* that way but that’s different from reality.

I remember when Menswear Guy got shit from people because he was descended from South Vietnamese refugees, which revealed some fascinatingly vile things people thought about South Vietnam, South Vietnamese people, and refugees generally.

What Piker offers is the most corrosive force on the left; a politics built on contempt and sneering.

Burns wrote about Piker’s buddy Abughazaleh—who outspent her opponent by 50% & got massive free media bc her & her boyfriend’s media contacts & still didn’t win showed how everyone should run campaigns—& then refused to discuss the article, so this is on brand

Why is Burns taken seriously?

I’m going to say something controversial: new neighbors and more housing for them to live in will make Queen Village more like a village than the giant empty parking lot it’s replacing did, and the developers of it should not kill themselves

I’m convinced 99% of people from this genre of tweet aren’t actually in therapy. Therapists don’t typically interrupt your ongoing conversation to lay down a mic-drop style quote.

the world was a better place back when these apolitical dipshits just kinda sat politics out instead of in 2024 when they all voted for Trump entirely based on vibes and then googled what tariffs are the day after the election
