the conman/grifter understands the cracks in how we interpret our world and attacks them.
our lack of time/interest to seek out multiple perspectives on claimed facts. our tendency towards assuming good faith. our tribalism. the US cultural assumption that being rich means someone is smart. the sense that it's generally difficult to lie to someone's face. our desire for simple explanations. basic reciprocity.

Aaaaargh.
Too often, I get another reason to want to write an article, how it's "not all Gen X white guys, but usually Gen X white dudes."
I have plenty of anecdotes myself, but now I'm hearing from a friend whose years of effort are being taken away now that they are finally presentable.
---
I also know many amazing men from the Gen X variety, and to you I request to be more aware of your fellow generation-mates doing one of the following:
1. Ignoring or dismissing women's ideas until a man repeats them.
2. Assuming she is incapable.
3. Letting her do the dirty work and then take the credit, or take over for the fun stuff.
4. Interrupting her while she's presenting at a conference.
5. Negatively judging her for actions that would be praised when a man does them.
6. Being generally dismissive, or interrupting her, denying her skills, displaying misogyny, etc., etc.
(Yes, all these things happened, multiple times, to numerous women.)
---
Also, believe women when they say this shit happens.
Anyway, I'm so pissed on my friend's behalf now.

Annoyingly the FT's latest editorial while accepting the current Govt. inherited a 'poor' economy outlook from the Tories, goes on to argue that the current reduction in jobs & economic activity is the direct result of mistaken policy choices by Labour.
Now I'm not going to say that's there's no link... but (as I've said before) the Bank of England *explicit* policy on inflation has been to slow down the UK economy, yet this isn't mentioned by the FT at all!!

The Internet has ruined headlines.
It used to be that headlines had names. Now they carefully DO NOT on purpose, because using a generic role description is more likely to get a click-through to see who it is. The problem has bled into ledes as well, which are no longer synopses of stories but rather secondary teasers. You may be a few paragraphs into a story before you can get the information that every Journo 101 teacher would have demanded be in the first 3 lines. fed.brid.gy/r/bsky.app/profile…

Aid flotilla set to sail to Gaza - France 24, 31/08/2025
A flotilla carrying aid and various public figures, including Greta Thunberg and European lawmakers, is set to sail from Barcelona on Sunday, aiming to reach Gaza by mid-September. Organisers called it the largest solidarity mission yet, after Israel blocked the two previous attempts. Camille Knight reports.
