Writers and artists demand a moral imperative to support them as creatives and artisans, while happily buying mass produced bread, shoes, and furniture, and without demanding a similar support for artisan bakers, cobblers, and carpenters.

Today, at work, my sister was engaged in casual work conversation. Someone asked "why don't they just hold TikTok liable for what is posted there."
The years of me wedging discussion of §230(c)(1) into conversation with her suddenly had effect. She knew the answer to the question. A simulated version of me that existed only in her mind guided her through the conversation.
The answer was sufficiently delivered. My work is done.
The potentially finite nature of our universe also makes me think about Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question".
If you haven't read it, I strongly suggest you do:

Well, that's existentially terrifying, because it (at least to my understanding) suggests that the infinite may be finite after all...

More of this, please! Leave the responsible gun owners alone and punish the irresponsible ones.
It is batshit insane that we need to file taxes ourselves.
How do we not just get an invoice from the government every year?

"Who should our Entrepreneurship Award go to?"
"I know this guy who hasn't started any successful businesses, but did light forty billion dollars on fire to buy one!"
"Perfect!"

Fucking House. Can't support Ukraine fighting Russia, get aid to Gaza, deal with the border. But they waste time on the cynical political nihilism of banning TikTok, taking away the speech of countless millions of citizens not heard in old, white mass media. Fucking House.
When #programming, I always make it a point to try to dummy-proof my code.
I do this, not for my clients and bosses, but rather for me-six-months-from-now, who is a giant dummy.
Name *one* comedy series made since 1897 that doesn't include Fred Armisen at some point. You can't, can you?
