that vegetables taste good
the biggest conspiracy theory i believe in is that everyone who has ever said a vegetable tastes good is lying, on purpose. its arguably the biggest conspiracy ever in all history.
me, whenever someone says a vegetable tastes "good":

to be fair, trump showed you can troll your way right into the presidency
trump has shown that a lot of things we took for granted for decades in this whole world were just casual rules people agreed to follow but there's no real penalty for breaking those rules. if you're shameless there really are very few boundaries you can't break through.
so many of us were like "you can't do x," and trump and his acolytes basically said "is there an actual law? no, then we'll do it anyway and fuck you." they understood that even if there is a press meltdown, you just wait them out like a crying baby and they move on.

the only correct answer is #2
superman should NEVER be without red trunks and while the kingdom come design is ok, the black "s" is story dependent. electric blue superman can die in a kryptonite fire.
textbook superman costume, no notes.
always red trunks.
ALWAYS. the original design was about echoing a circus performer. it is essential to the entire thing.

this sounds real dumb: "[CNN] intends to roll out a new, kinetic on-air format that will take many of its personnel out of the usual position of sitting behind desks and instead aim to generate more energy on camera" variety.com/2023/tv/news/c…
this makes me think of the wsvn "newsplex" that came out in the 1990s that turned their newsroom into something that looked like a nightclub for tv
from what i understand, the whole presentation style at wsvn in the 90s (where shep smith and rick sanchez started) was so popular it was copied across the country to other local news stations. i saw it on display on boston tv in the early 2000s.

the photo in the tweet below is a public display that hitler had erected in many german towns so that people would see the content from "der sturmer," the antisemitic newspaper run by his ally. der sturmer was fox news before fox news.
i wrote about the parallels between "der sturmer" and fox news a few months ago

The Nazi Forefather Of Fox News (And The Rest Of Conservative Media) oliverwillis.substack.com/p/the-nazi-for…
"der sturmer" would play up crimes - real and imagined - committed by jews to convince germans that jews were a problem, and said the only way to solve the problem was extermination. fox news covers purported crimes by lgbtq, blacks, latinos, immigrants in the same fashion now.

one problem w musk that i think is completely disconnected from ideology is that tech nerds are notoriously bad at understanding wtf people truly want. i always think about how google rolled out that idiotic google glass or how facebook keeps pushing "metaverse" bs.
even though they have created these systems that show them in granular detail how people actually use products and services, tech people truly believe people want all the added "cool" bullshit that impresses the hell out of them. but nobody really wants it.
one of the few tech people who ever truly got this was steve jobs, who was a maniac but also knew there needs to be a layer of semi-normal people between the engineering people and the public. the engineers are good at things but understanding products is not one of those things.
