    An absolutely fascinating video in which an Italian poetry professor gives his first impressions on some Kendrick Lamar songs. I've never really been one for poetry, but he explains his thoughts in a very compelling way. Learned some fun new words too, such as describing Good Kid as 'baudelairian'

    I'm not gonna lie, from the title I thought the article was going to be about what proof alcohol people become as the explosion-induced spike in temperature distills their body fluids into alcohol

    I'm personally pretty excited for the new Catholicism stuff, it seems like it has the potential to be pretty interesting.

  19. Comment on Social media use linked to mixed views on democracy among US adults in ~society

    Heavy users of social media are more likely than others to believe that leaders are listening to them and to view democratic participation as effective, according to a study conducted by the Charles F. Kettering Foundation and Gallup. However, they are also less likely to think democracy is the best form of government and more likely to express views that depart from widely held democratic norms about violence and political compromise.

    These results are from a nationally representative study of more than 20,000 U.S. adults, conducted July 7-Aug. 25, 2025, that finds complex relationships between social media usage and views of U.S. democracy, even when controlling for age, income and other factors related to social media use.
