OIC here's what the wild kids these days are thinkin'?

There are three extant poles.

Communist Capital (CCP): you must submit
Woke Capital (NYT): you must sympathize
Crypto Capital (BTC): you must be sovereign

As I note later in the pod, we need to establish a fourth intermediate - the decentralized center - which appeals to all. https://t.co/ftypKr3MqJ

During the past several months, I've spent a lot of time studying the writings and podcasts of @balajis. He's regarded by many as one of the most prescient voices in tech. See his recent interview with @cybersygh for a taste...https://t.co/sTPcHKyKRF

Pretty sure Klaus Barbie

Pretty sure Klaus Barbie ruined the Barbie brand in the psychotherapy sphere. A shame, really - the dolls would have certainly fit the Nazi aesthetic of the perfect woman.

BARBIE CONTINUES HER

BARBIE CONTINUES HER GREATNESS (yes as she/her). As a first wave Boomer feminist, who owned an original model as a child, I was always a supporter; she was be all you can be or imagine (if you could afford enough outfits to role play) and it wasn't her fault she had a deformed unrealistic body missing several joints and details like nipples and pubes, all the better for her physical handicaps:

(p.s. any girl who envied the original Barbie's body had a screw loose somewhere and perhaps needed a Dr. Barbie psychotherapist, maybe with a pink Corvette as a bonus?)

Trump just wasn't dark, depressing violent and sexist enough for the current reigning rap meisters?

Kanye West has launched a 'DONDA' countdown livestream on Apple Music. Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mike Dean, Steve Lacy, and Fivio Foreign are among the artists who have appeared on the livestream so far.

I doubt this news is about generational desires, I'd be very surprised if all generations aren't included in these numbers. What it does though, is to CLARIFY ANARCHIST LEFTIES' campaign using Starbucks as one their favorites to attack as a multinational corporation is a total failure. Probably going into the range of "turn off people who might otherwise be friendlies", i.e. "I'm going to support the local Starbucks more precisely because you broke their window"

This is what a successful millennial war on baby boomers looks like. https://t.co/c7orfAX6y3

It's the greatest generation that notoriously didn't like the idea spending a lot on little luxuries, if they could find similar enough way cheaper they would think: crazy. My father was a true coffee addict all his life, would always have a togo cup from like Dunkin Donuts or a gas station with 7-11 type setup the moment he started a drive somewhere. And that was way before there were cup holders in cars. I think he would shrug at Starbucks, not knowing nor understanding much about it's reputation in pop culture and react that he can pay a lot less for coffee at McDonald's and hang around drinking it all day. At the same time, not being judgement either, he didn't pay attention to any pop culture about food, once notoriously saying about 20 years ago about a joke on TV what's wrong with fruitcake?! He truly wanted an explanation, had no idea. Grew up with people gifting it on the holidays and appreciating it.

Also about GenX I have two Gen X sister-in-laws and one Gen X bro, another Gen X bro-in-law, all very worldly, who became addicted to one or another version of Starbucks brand. Like on arrival to stay in a new nabe, the first thing they ask is "is there a Starbucks around here?" Almost ashamedly they have to admit to people they are staying with that have become addicted to that Starbucks to-go cuppa. Surely that became a thing when they were in college!
