### The Daily Log for Tuesday, April 15, 2025 I sat in the ER with a family member and forgot to file my taxes. ##### What am I thinking: **Is there a racial divide when it comes to conspiracy theories? Do conspiracy theories (particularly modern ones) have a particularly white hue?** I came across a story about how RFK Jr.s "followers" rectify his calls for people to vaccinate their children (not mandated, golly no). When I got to one influencer telling their listeners to *pay attention to how he words things*, I wondered how much of our critical thinking skills are squandered in the misplaced self-victimization of white people? When the world is built *for* you and your culture is essentially the default culture (appropriations included) - you would have to construct structures of oppression in order to feel *special* as the average white person believes oppressed people are treated. ##### What am I reading: - [US college students detained in Denmark after alleged Uber driver dispute](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/14/college-students-detained-denmark-uber): Maybe I’m a weirdo, but it takes a bit of hubris or willful ignorance to be an American visiting internationally right now. - [What’s more vacuous than an endless vacuum? It’s Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry’s party in space | Marina Hyde](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/15/lauren-sanchez-katy-perry-space-blue-origin-female-flight): Column: good. Stunt: shameful. Feminism already has so many enemies, but what will eventually kill it is rendering it nothing more than a Target-promo, with beach-body, boss-booty vibes. That's all Katy Perry has been selling from the start. --- *© H.B. Flyte All Rights Reserved.* [[HBlog]] | [[Logs]] l [[Home]]
