can’t see through the paywall but it should be noted that Ranga Dias isn’t the person responsible for the LK-99 superconductor claims that are making the news rounds. He made some claims in March and afaik they’re already pretty widely debunked… although to be honest I only just learned about the guy through the lk-99 stuff.

Sounds like you need some friends, friend. Those aren’t them.

It’s not even really that. Paris Hilton? As replaceable as the next individual human. Almost totally without any production or material value, yet loaded with worth. There are dozens of people like her. Or on a smaller scale, many mid-upper level managers are completely interchangeable and produce little to nothing, but are valued far more than someone working in a packing plant.

Worth and value have no correlation in our society. People who have money have it because they have money, not because they work harder or do more important things. Some people do have money and also work hard or do important things, sure, but it isn’t correlated.

Great idea! If members of the working class fight amongst each other, it’s a great way to get the people reaping the profits to listen.

You’re directly serving the studios by acting like this. You could have said something like “This is awful, and the actors even do better than crew members, it goes all the way down.” Instead you decided you should attack the other people who can’t make rent.

Spent so much cognitive effort making sure my kids didn’t feel hamstrung by gender roles. Wound up with two kids who identify at least partly as non-binary, and have chosen their roles as much on their own as I think they can reasonably do.

Of course both of them, hilariously, wound up choosing incredibly typical gender-aligned stuff. The “amab” NB kid loves machines, Lego, spaceships, engineering, explosions, and anything STEM. The “afab” NB kid loves puppies, pink stuff, flowers, dresses, helping with household chores, cooking, and scorpions. Typical girl stuff.

Not ascribing any deeper meanings. I just think it’s cute and funny.
