RIP Postmodernism, 1972-2023 (yes it's the final installment, so please share the news throughout the land so no lazy media analyst ever uses the word "postmodern" again)
There seems to be some connective tissue between ChatGPT providing mealymouthed safe middle opinions on tap, and millions of people being disgusted by the "but both sides" line on the genocide of the Palestinians. There's something viscerally disgusting about having an opinion on mass murder that can and does come out of a machine. (More fuel for New Romanticism!) Great writing, thank you - just found it this morning.
