The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Yeah yeah and santa claus is real. How one makes it to your age being this gullible is equally baffling as it is impressive.
The tech world scrambling to make smart glasses. Me wearing functional prescription glasses , hating every second of it and wishing i didn’t have to wear glasses.
GET HIS ASS
Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???
lmao it's just the block chain all over again
joking aside the reason why I think they're shoving this so hard down everyone's throat is to have something to sell to venture capitalists, who are the real customers. "look at how popular it is! give me $20m to install it in your grocery website!"
Its really depressing, its been weighing on me for a while and Im not even an artist. Even moreso that this culture has invaded every aspect of peoples lives really.
The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

1984 calendar meme with the lady saying "the empire is at war with Persia and the Pope" and the calendar says January 1054
My little world today is just working on things that don't matter and fretting endlessly about things that do that I have no control over.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I think the rise in Friendslop games are an overall net good and I like how the best ones tend to focus on being cheap games that do one fun thing really well vs a big $70 multiplayer investment or requiring a commitment to free to play microtransaction live service hell
happy easter
I do not use text-to-speech, I do not ai generate voices. I SENTENCE MIX. And if it sounds incomprehensible, I don't CARE.
this place was cursed with double-edged timing. they saw a big influx of users & thought wow, people must be really excited about our tech nonsense buzzword things (instead of just wanting twitter but not ran by a nazi) let's focus on that bollocks forever
why do the people who're concerned about bluesky's growth always pin the blame on leftists being mean, instead of on the people who run bluesky seeming totally uninterested in growing it at all. all their effort goes on faffing around with nonsense that nobody who actually uses the site cares about
April fool's day always makes it painfully obvious how many people just don't know how to construct a good joke.
Lying isn't comedy, you have to actually make a joke!
