TW: ABLEISM
In this recently unearthed footage circa 1999, Danisx Latinx John Melendez is seen being nervously coaxed to speak on mic while being cruelly ridiculed by aryan cishet male Fred Norris (who's grandfather was a confirmed Hitler Youth member.). After being unjustly screamed at, John tries to promote peace and tolerance by telling Fred that he is 'acting nuts'. Fredolf Nitler instantly asks if John 'wants to take this outside', which has been identified as a outdated way of challenging someone (particularly those who belong to oppressed groups) to a fight. John says anytime and before he can even react Fred jumps up to lunge at the stutterer. Bravely, John challenges the bully to hit him. Fred opens the door to coax John outside of the room, a move that has direct parallels to jewish people being forced into Zyklon showers. Eventually Fred returns to his seat without hitting the poor man, but what follows is more unacceptable toxic verbally abusive gaslamping.
This is very painful to watch in current year and should serve as a reminder to us all of how far we've come, but also how we must never give up the fight against bigotry and hatred. If you wish to support stutterers during these trying times, consider buying a copy of Melendez's hit 2008 film "One, Two, Many" which features many pro s*x, pro s*x work, pro women, and pro stutterer messages.
John Melendez, we salute you.

So then, Attorney General Pam Bondi has given the FBI until tomorrow at 8AM to give her "full and complete Epstein files."

FBI NY office apparently withheld and disobeyed her initial order...
Think about that. We have a new president, a new attorney general, a new FBI directorβ¦

It's an old idea that you must do anything from a digital detox to a disconnect altogether and cabin max.
These ideas have merit but fall short in various ways. In my opinion, there is a specific formula that we can all adopt now to ensure brain health for us and our offspring.
I was watching the linked video and it occurred to me, like so many current cultural analyses, that there is a persistent desire to remain plugged into the system. You are free to call it slop, and brainrot, and make fun of the cast of celeb characters. But there is no notion that remaining plugged in is an untenable course of action.
I submit to you that unless you or your kids want to end up like the BATIN' guy from idiocracy, you must NOT by default be connected to any algorithmic media.
This did not used to be the case. But I think we have reached that point where we can clearly say it is no longer safe for our brains to be connected by default.
I say by default because I think it is safe to dip your toes in the slop. There's a huge difference between sampling whats going on and being part of the feed itself.
For example:
DO know what movie you want to watch based on some personal reasoning and watch it on Netflix if it's there.
DO NOT go to Netflix and watch whatever is there to be watched. This is going to addict you and eventually you will be watching complete trash/propaganda and not realize what's happened to you.
DO pop into tiktok and scroll a couple vids and get the heck out.
DO not scroll and participate in tiktok/insta/youtube/facebook short video culture.
It's sad, but you used to be able to safely exist in mainstream culture, but I think that time is done. I think there's a real risk of brain health decline. We will see more and more symptoms that look like dementia in young people.
We laugh about how the brainrot gives us ADD and dopamine addiction. But why is this funny? Someone has to be the first to say "ok let's stop, then."
