Let’s dig into the favorite trope of the Internet, the faux-brave garbage take:
The Plane Lady Meme Cycle Proves the Internet Isn’t Fun Anymore
A) It does no such thing.
B) Maybe don’t talk about shit you appear to be incredibly ignorant about.
But let’s get to the heart of this take (aka the only reason she even wrote this garbage):
Gomas is somewhat unique, however, in that her nonconsensual viral moment has made her into something of a sex symbol for the worst people on the planet. The far right zeroed in on Gomas’s manicured blond good looks, with men who really, really enjoy watching documentaries about Ruby Ridge fixating on her physical appearance, few of whom appeared to consider whether their reaction would be different if she were a slightly less hot person ranting about the possibility of a plane exploding and killing everyone. (Never mind if she was an unhoused person, a gender non-conforming person, or a person of color.)
And there it is. “People I don’t like are enjoying something; I must crush it.”
I think we known who is really taking the fun out of the internet.
Gen Z is ditching bras in latest viral trend: ‘Let them be free’
Gen Z women are embracing going braless, and the freeing move has taken the internet by storm.
The hashtag ‘No Bra’ has over 600 million tags on the social media platform TikTok and women are sharing their outfits and looks without any underwire in sight.
Being braless has become such a thing that the #nobrachallenge is going viral on the platform and has over nine million views.
It sounds sexy but it mainly just involves women sharing what they look like in fun outfits while not wearing a bra, and the trend seems to help normalize different breast shapes.
help normalize different breast shapes
Fuck off.
Of course, not every Gen Zer with their low-waisted jeans is keen to jump onboard.
TikTok creator Lacey Claire filmed a silly video of her braless in a white crop top to point out that being free from underwire wasn’t for everyone.
Assuming this is a woman, well, she has droopies. So wear a bra if you want to, Lucas.
Psychologist Carly Dober explained that the trend is a big “statement” made by young women.
“Emotionally and psychologically, not wearing a bra can be a statement about how you want to present yourself to the world, and also how you want to cover up very normal body parts,” she said.
Dober said that many women feel “liberated” by not wearing a bra, which is a sign of young women wanting to reclaim their “agency.”
Fuck off.
All the article had to do was post this pic and say “YAY! BOOBIES!”
Overthinking joy-sucking academic gibberish garbage take.
I was on campus when ‘Animal House’ debuted. It changed everything. (sign-up free link)
nut graf:
Although “Animal House” was a professedly anarchic comedy that identified with the freaks, the misfits and anyone wanting to fight for their right to party, the movie ironically helped crystallize a new strain of cultural and political conservatism that started on campuses and ran all the way up to the National Mall and Wall Street.
In other words, “Animal House” is where the 1960s finally and decisively turned into the 1980s — the 1970s being understood as a transition period highlighted by double-knit and “Kung Fu Fighting.” With “Animal House,” we crossed the line from hippies to yuppies, from “all you need is love” to “greed is good.” It seems crazy to say it, but the film’s Deltas — a fraternity of proud, self-defined losers — became role models for a generation obsessed with winning. You could argue we’re still living with the fallout.In “Animal House,” Delta House’s fraternity of proud, self-defined losers became role models for a generation obsessed with winning.

How do I know all this? I was there at ground zero: a preview screening of “Animal House” at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., in July 1978. There, before my eyes, an audience of listless summer-session Ivy League students was jolted into trading the bromides of their older siblings’ counterculture for what seemed like a new freedom: to say what you wanted, offend whomever you wanted, grab the rewards you felt were yours.
What? This movie did all that? Not the Democrat Party doldrums of post-Watergate America where hippie idealism became the Carter hangover? The waning enthusiasm for America that was a result of letting Iran push us around?
No, it must have been that movie where John Belushi used mashed potatoes to pretend to be an enormous pimple.

Palate cleanse:
Firstity first!
I’m looking forward to all those saggy, aging, Gen Z titties.
Instead of enjoying the perky, young, Gen Z titties?
You’re a monster.
Is it even true that bras prevent sagging?
all I can imagine is that any artificial support can only lead to atrophy of whatever natural structures had any hope of delaying or minimizing sagging
I’ve been to Boulder. It was 40% glorious, 30% disappointing, 20% gross, and 10% odd. And that’s in a college town.
Did you look over your shoulder for a holder?
‘help normalize different breast shapes’
I mean, bras are basically false advertising, so I’m in favor of going away from them.
“how you want to cover up very normal body parts”
Now they’re going too far, some body parts should be covered up. The super tight athleisure thing has gone too far.
/puts on cycling kit
Are you talking to me?
/puts on cycling kit
*shudders*
It would help if you were riding the bike at least instead of just wearing it around town.
Yeah; imagine guys not wanting to cover up their penises.
I thought we didn’t have to imagine — it is called “Pride Month” now.
That’s exactly where my mind went.
Totally natural, nothing wrong with the body part, still not something you share with everyone.
Gomas is somewhat unique, however, in that her nonconsensual viral moment has made her into something of a sex symbol for the worst people on the planet.
I just saw a bunch of dudebros speculating just where she fell on the hot / crazy matrix. Most were like “Would. At a hotel. Without her knowing my real name or phone number.”
“She mid bro” was the conversation I kept seeing.
“The far right zeroed in on Gomas’s manicured blond good looks”
Well, for starters, she’s not blond. I’d say brown, with highlights.
Right?
And Gomas? Are ethnics white?
Sounds very far right.
“I just saw a bunch of dudebros”
Here, I believe.
Dude.
Bro.
Lol. We’re back to the 60’s huh?
This passage from Good Omens is a favorite:
My sister got her daughter’s name tattooed on her when she was younger. When she had my eldest nephew, my niece asked my sister if she was going to get his name tattooed on her too.
My sister was not amused nor entertained by the question. Me laughing at the question may have added to her discomfort.
Yet another instance where Gen Z thinks they’re the first to think of something that’s been around forever. Most young people can get away with no bra, but that changes with age.
Yeah… but maybe if I get serious about a walking regimen again….
I’m an old boomer, and when I was a young boomer, my cohorts also believed they were the first to think of everything.
Chuck Schumer hardest hit.
Why am I guessing that the person who wrote that Slate article lives in a one party state, and thinks that anyone recording their phone calls without telling them is “breaking the law”.
“Never mind if she was an unhoused person, a gender non-conforming person, or a person of color.”
Oh fuck off…also still would with extreme prejudice…God does the finger wagging get old.
Gen Z women are embracing going braless,
The 70s say hello.
High school. No dress codes. Halter tops were in vogue.
Tube tops are what I remember.
Tube tops were nice.
But halters had barley a wee bit more fabric that a bikini top.
Don’t bother, if it happened more than a month ago Gen Z is unaware.
The other day on Reddit, I had to deal with someone who had never heard of The Boondock Saints.
This went considerably beyond me feeling old, all the way too, ‘Everybody under the age of 35 has been fucking lobotomized…”
As do men.
The young dudebros will be like deer in the headlights.
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE
No kidding.
Animal House: I guess the chainsawing of the dead horse was a metaphor for the evisceration of the spirit of the 1960s. Well good goddamn riddance.

https://www.rollingstone.com/author/ej-dickson/
I see the issue.
Ej enjoys musicals, being a Disney adult, and playing with her three-legged, epileptic border collie Ringo Daphne. The New Yorker once called her “ineffably cool.”
We get it, you are not a serious person.
There was definitely the stink of “I hate hot chicks” on that article.
But she is ineffably cool.
That motherfucker is not cool.
I think “ineffable” is pretty accurate.
What you did there was seen.
“her three-legged, epileptic border collie Ringo Daphne”
I feel sorry for the dog.
I won’t say it.
From beyond the grave, Dorothy Parker disavows all association with “that rag.”
I can’t even with this.
It seems like normal young women behavior. Tell a girl something and all her friends will know.
“I worry that it is turning us into hypocrites who, when it comes to the privacy of our conversations, have higher expectations for how others should treat us than for how we treat others.”
Speak for yourself?
Also, in what world do people think texts are the most secure, private way to communicate?
I never understood people (usually kids) who have such a fear of phone calls vs text. Not that it couldn’t be recorded, but way less likely.
I understand it in the work world, where I want proof of what was asked for/provided/planned for. I understand texts for quick check ins (where you at/how you doing/running late). I don’t understand those who can’t complete a thought in a text without clicking send.
Hey
I was wondering
If we’re out of milk
Could you pick up a gallon

Like that?
😆
I don’t have a fear of phone calls, I just don’t want to be stuck in a five minute blathering convo with someone where a simple text message will do. There are times where a simple one-minute phone call works better than five minutes of back-and-forth messaging, but these are rare.

“trading the bromides of their older siblings’ counterculture for what seemed like a new freedom: to say what you wanted, offend whomever you wanted, grab the rewards you felt were yours.”
Weird way to admit that the 60s radicals didn’t believe on the freedom they kept insisting they wanted.
Hippies wanted the freedom to lay around, smoke pot and not work yet magically be fed and housed. Realizing this doesn’t work and getting a job is hardly a right wing revolution.
But they were adamantly in favor of free-speech, right up to the point where they are in charge.
You didn’t believe the Free Speech Movement was about principles?

Low waisted jeans are coming back?
Hip huggers. More memories from the 70s. Paired with a halter top, and that’s a lot of skin showing.
I think that was a misprint. Those heinous pants with a waist well above the navel are in fashion. They look awful. It’s as bad as when young men started wearing white athletic socks with shower shoes.
How do the scornful stares from strangers make you feel?
Haha!
Bravo!
Yeah, I think low-waisted jeans have been in for, what, 35 years now? That’s about how long I’ve noticed people of both sexes flashing their underwear for the world to see.
Ah yes. The whale tail.
When I coached my son in mite hockey, the moms would still come into the locker room and tie their kids’ skates. They were all in their late 20s or early 30s and the jeans reflected the times (early oughts). Whale tails down the line.
None of the coaches discouraged them. You can tie your own skates in squirts.

So, is X going to change their name to Twitter now? Seems only fair.
“Special Counsel Jack Smith obtains access to Donald Trump’s Twitter account – including private direct messages and draft tweets – after securing SECRET search warrant
The new filing reveals he was granted the search warrant in January, allowing him to dig through ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ for evidence of criminal offenses.
A judge had initially fined Elon Musk’s social media giant $350,000 for refusing to comply, according to documents released last week.
The company, now known as X, was also barred from telling Trump about the warrant.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12412897/Special-Counsel-Jack-Smith-obtains-access-Donald-Trumps-Twitter-account-securing-SECRET-search-warrant.html
I was taught back in the 80s to never put anything in an electronic message that you did not want to be discoverable in court.
The “secret” part of this warrant is horseshit, but the data resides on a 3rd party’s platform. That data is not immune to a warrant.
This is a separate problem from the data providers coughing up data to the government without a warrant.
At the risk of being laughed out of the room i will point out that general warrants are forbidden by the fourth amen….never mind. I cant force myself to say it.

Pattie Tamura, whose family owns one of the few Lahaina houses that remain standing, credited its survival to its thick concrete walls, which don’t burn.
Tamura, 67, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the house was built by her grandfather, who worked at a nearby sugar mill, with the exact purpose of enduring anything so he could enjoy his retirement in the 1950s.
“He built the house out of cement because of the bugs and dry rot in Hawaii,” she said. “I’m sure it survived because of his knowledge and his construction skills.”
We can’t be sure the house is stable enough to live in. Bulldoze it and sell the whole neighborhood to a developer.
It’s not unusual for the radiant heat of a wildfire to ignite the drapes inside a house through the glass. Even if the walls still stand, the interior can burn out.

“Netflix releases children’s cartoon about gay knights that was deemed too gay for Disney
As Slate’s Sam Adams details, two of the movie’s main characters, Ballister Blackheart and Ambrosius Goldenloin, are former gay lovers who can be seen holding hands as well as kissing. The other major character, Nimona, is a shape-shifting magical being that is implicitly some kind of “gender-fluid” creature.
Examples of Nimona’s LGBT references include repeated reminders that the character is “not a girl,” as well as a scene where upon being told “And now you’re a boy,” Nimona answers, “I am today.”

Just days before FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange that was once worth as much as $32 billion, went bankrupt, 28-year-old Ellison convened employees to provide a “general overview of the situation,” telling them: “I guess, mostly I wanna say, like, I’m sorry. This really sucks.”
“I think my current default plan is that Alameda will likely wind down once we can, like, repay all of our creditors and sort of wind down a bunch of our, like, whatever remaining obligations we have,” Ellison is said to have told her employees.
According to the court filing, an Alameda employee pressed Ellison: “Who made the decision on using [FTX] user deposits?”
“Um…Sam, I guess,” Ellison responded, according to court documents filed in US District Court in southern New York.

Can anyone jog my memory, please? I’m trying to find an essay someone linked to a few months ago here about various SHTF scenarios and how to survive them. I thought it might be a Thomas Sowell essay, but I couldn’t find or identify it in his archives, so maybe a different author. The only keyword I can bring to mind was that one was the ‘locust’ scenario where the dense city populations spread out taking resources by force due to sheer number. -Thanks in advance.
If I recall right, the essay was about surviving in Serbia.
There is also an excellent interview on The Survival Podcast with a guy who went through something similar in Argentina.
Nope, Bosnia. Is this it? H/T to the original poster (JI maybe?)

What’s more: It’s leveling the playing field by ensuring that no family making less than $400,000 will see their taxes go up and making the big corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.
The American people made this all possible through collective action, by holding our government accountable for improving our communities. And while there’s still more work to be done when it comes to defeating corporate greed and creating meaningful solutions to lowering costs for working families, it’s clear that President Biden and progressive lawmakers in Congress delivered on their promises by passing the IRA.
That’s quite the non sequitur.
Just another weird coincidence. Nothing to see here.

Police who were examining a stolen car for evidence made a surprising find — a kitten — and now they are looking for his owner.
The gray-and-white male cat was perched under a seat in the stolen vehicle, which collided with a police car during a chase Thursday, the Meriden Police Department said on its Facebook page and in a news release Monday.
He’s the mastermind of the outfit.
The police are searching for the kitten’s owners so they can charge them with animal cruelty.
By publicly celebrating these landmark programs, educating the public, and having one-on-one conversations in communities across the country, Indivisible Civics — through our Powering Progress initiative — is making sure our friends and family understand the tangible benefits available to them now, and are just a little less susceptible to the divide and conquer dog whistle messaging coming from the far right.
What that means in practice is engaging directly with the community—from holding roundtables and town halls so constituents can ask questions of local leaders implementing the law, to tabling at public health fairs and local festivals to make sure families know who is responsible for their lower drug prices.
By doing the work to educate the public, we can continue to put power in the hands of the American people to make historic legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act possible in the future – and prove what an active and inclusive government can accomplish along the way.
We must harangue and hector our friends and neighbors and especially random strangers with our noble message of class and wealth envy.

Don’t interrupt your betters
Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed a heckler at an event last weekend after the man began shouting about Harris’ lack of effort in addressing climate change.
The Daily Caller shared a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday afternoon that showed a heckler interrupting Harris’ speech. He can be heard yelling above the vice president, who is speaking at a podium. He yelled so loudly at times that Harris could not be heard. A spokesperson from Harris’ office told Newsweek that the protester interrupted the event last Saturday in Massachusetts.
“We are in the middle of a climate emergency. Eighty people have died in Hawaii, Thousands have been displaced by the climate chaos,” the protester yelled. “The planet is burning, and people are dying.”
“I’m speaking,” Harris responded as the heckler was removed from the crowd by security.
