Pitchfork rates Drake’s “ICEMAN” a 4.8
“The problem is, all of this insight — free grousing used to be fun, and Drake's music — his rap music, at least — hasn't made prolonged contact with fun in a decade. Instead, every new Drake project is a buffet of humiliation, mortification, and self-serving delusion. On ICEMAN, we get a few teaspoons of nourishing hilarity, but mostly it's a long platter of the cold, lumpy self — pity that made us push our chairs back in the first place.”
Fascinating model of society where it is not comprised of individuals making choices but is just a thing that exists completely separate from the people who live in it.
This is not what “high trust” *means*. High trust is not something that you can personally manifest. It doesn’t care about your emotional reaction to events. You cannot instantiate a high trust society by being nicer and nicer and nicer in the face of fraud and theft and graft.
Oi eu sou um Americano de Direita ✋ e os meus heróis são um pinguim que se matou, um escritor japones que se matou, um ator porno japones que entrou num aviao e se matou, o professor de universidade que ficou doido e se matou e o lojista que entrou numa escavadeira e se matou

Allston Car Wash has been a family-owned business in this neighborhood for almost five decades. Our employees are good, hardworking individuals who come to work each day to provide for themselves and their families. We take pride in creating a workplace where people are treated with dignity and respect. Many employees have worked with us for years and in some cases decades.
This week, a student at a local university publicly claimed credit for triggering last week’s enforcement action at our business. At no point did this individual contact us, speak with management, or inquire about our employees or operations. Publicly labeling our workforce as “criminals” without any knowledge of who they are is reckless and distressing.
The employees detained last week are part of our team and part of this community. We are doing everything possible to support them and their families throughout this process.
We are grateful for the support we have received from our customers, neighbors, elected officials, and community organizations. For nearly 50 years, we have been committed to running an honest family business, and we will continue to stand with our employees and with this community.
