Post from @opinionhaver.bsky.social If 25% of the population believed that a creature called 'Glonzo' caused high power prices by chewing through transmission lines, any competent politician would be negligent in not trying to find a way to exploit this. This doesn't mean that these people wouldn't be fucking morons. // Trump has a natural advantage with these voters over people who give a shit about policy or reality because we'll mumble something about hardening electric infrastructure while trying to hide contempt, he'll say that the marines will kill Glonzo under him.

@eigenrobot tweet thread: "travel" is fake no one exceptlord myles has "adventures" when they travel you are staying at a hotel, paying large sums of money to have a far worse experience than you could havein your own home and a far softer experience than you could have by spending a weekend in jail // "i love to Travel" why have you failed to establish your home as a place of serenity and joy, to the extent that you feel physically uncomfortable there and strive to get away from your life whenever you can, viewing it as the highest good? you are not well // "i Travel" you can go wherever you like in the world but you will never escape yourself // "i want to spend time with people different than myself!" no you dont. there are Different people in your city. go hang out with the homeless or some seniors hmmmm? i guarantee these people are more different from you than are your age and class peers in europe // the only really good reason to travel recreationally is to see old friends and travel in this case is, in a real sense, like coming home after a long time spent away // End of thread He also posts two screenshots of writings by G K Chesterton, who had similar beliefs about the worthiness of travel. The only rebuttal to his argument that he accepts is the one made by Chesterton in The Riddle of the Ivy that states that travel is good insofar as it gives the travler a newfound appreciation for home upon his return.
