I was listening to a TEDTalk about incompetent management and why is it celebrated: https://youtu.be/DU06c7f9fzc.

The TLDR is that people love a story and entranced by them, however good management and leadership is and probably should be boring.

I'd just like to highlight how unhelpful this type of discussion is.

I mean I felt helpless during the US election but I feel helpless when I hear stories like this as well. What on Earth am I supposed to do in cases like these?

Yeah but like, it's a bit crazy that the right has: Fox News, OAN, NewsMax (or whatever it's called), Joe Rogan Experience (gateway drug/sanewashing), Benny Shaps network, X, Truth Social, Prager U, Tim's Pool, right wing radio, and lots of other smaller shops and they all seem to claim corporate media is the worst and they're all here to tell you the truth.

Why do they have Trump flags? What in the world is going on?

It's a great listen and conservatives as usual can't stop being fucking retards.

The right is REALLY good at messaging it's insane. The culture wars they start have created a "bogeyman" and it's insane.

I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.

Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it "manufactured discontent".

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

I have a Civic with a manual door handle, but after reading your comment ... I think I'm going to get one to leave in the car just in case.

 

Yes! A new ONN video and it's great!

 

Progressive comedian Steve Hofstetter has some dialogue with an audience member about his jokes on conservatives/Trump.

 

The Onion News Network -- 11 years ago

 

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.

 

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.
