  The “gotcha!” level of cynicism in American discourse that writes off good policy with good intentions: 1. as being bad for having (any) unintended bad consequences 2. as being bad due to being supposedly an instance of regulatory capture in the vested interests of another party is going to prevent any material recovery over any span of time. (Commentary on the story arch of the locale and its people spanning back to my adolescence. Too fucking cynical to survive.)

  The SEM report from Nov. 2025 in this is fascinating: https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/einbuergerungen-in-der-schweiz-wenn-der-weg-zum-roten-pass-zu-beschwerlich-ist

  There is something rather triggering about seeing firms that offer subscription bundles under a brand monicker of “One.” My brain can’t stop replacing: “one” with “rent-seeking one stop.” Also: damn — did these firms just copy one another’s vibes here with this name convention. #Language #Enshittification

It’s the kind of language that we all know would be used in Soylent Green’s literature on thanatoria of the film were made today due to its euphemistic conveyance of violence. To wit, look at how the effective generative AI is at producing these specimens:

  Western Hungary has been thoroughly charming. I can't overstate how nice it is to visit somewhere off the beaten path when it comes to the major school holidays in DACH.

  This was a good trip. I am going to miss the pickled delights from Hungary. This part of the flavor palette is primally appealing. Maybe one of the most notable memories food-wise will be the tökmagolajos savanyú káposzta. Zala County is endowed with rustic nature. My chief memories will be canoeing on Kis-Balaton and exploring the bluffs. #magyarország

  In case you didn’t see it in the news today, O(10000s) came to the streets in Minneapolis to protest the federal occupation with a regional strike. Many local businesses shut down. Only mentioning this since it seems that media downplayed the event or chose to not cover it (fly-over country after all).
