it's very frustrating seeing otherwise well-structured posts about media literacy and critical thinking bookended with statements about "nowadays", "nobody has literacy anymore", "this generation is so anti-intellectual", and the like, unquestioningly falling into better past fallacies.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way.

On this day, 10 July 1917 the Jerome deportation took place in Arizona, when dozens of members of the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) union were deported to break a miners' strike. Mine bosses, local officials and the AFL-affiliated International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, which was scabbing on the strike, had organised a crew of 250 vigilantes. The vigilantes then raided the IWW office and stole its files, patrolled the streets, raided picket lines and kidnapped over 100 workers. A mine manager then worked with AFL union officials to examine each abducted worker and identify IWW members from the stolen union records. Between 63 and 67 workers were then identified as particular troublemakers, loaded onto a cattle car and taken 20 miles away before they were to be released. But other towns further down the line also dispatched armed guards to arrest IWW members and force the others to keep travelling further away.

it's weird how there's this perception of OCD as the "cleanliness" disorder where people still consider OCD behaviors to be like, rooted in some rational and correct (but overshot) trajectory toward objectively sanitary conditions, if that makes any sense? like there was a reddit post about somebody's roommate who had an extremely biohazardous room and a few commenters mentioned that OCD might be a factor based on her other behaviors, and a bunch of non-OCD-havers were like "what??? but it's objectively not clean??? there's so much bacteria in there???"
