    In mid-March, the Israeli army acknowledged that it has been facing the biggest mental health crisis since 1973.

    Yeah, slaughtering innocent civilians tends to weigh on your conscience. If it was this traumatizing to pull the trigger, just imagine how the other side felt.







  • Yeah, but pre-internet/social media rumors like that were hard to verify. His megalomaniacal tendencies were commonly known back then, but it was chalked up to being an eccentric genius. D'arcy (and Iha) were solid musicians in their own right and do not get enough credit. I remember the media trying to push really hard to make a sex figure out of D'arcy but she was too shy and reserved to play along.


  • I've never liked Billy Corgan (even before his reactionary libertarian side came out) and I always tried my best to dislike Smashing Pumpkins, so it annoyed me how great of a songwriter and musician he actually is. It took some time for me to realize and admit it, but Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie really are masterpieces. And 1979, along with Mayonnaise and Today, are my three favorite Pumpkins songs. The video is so perfect for this song too. A pure nostalgia bomb for anyone who grew up in the 90s like me.











  • While automation and AI won't directly replace tradesmen and physical laborers, the massive layoffs in the white collar sector will create millions of unemployed workers seeking work in industries that won't be under threat from it. Wages will be driven down from the glut of available workers coupled with the shrinking middle class who employ their services. Much like climate change, capitalism will utterly fail to handle this transition.
