I have more than once talked about things in earshot of my phone & had very specific ads for said things pop up on instagram w/i the space of a day. The idea that Meta apps arent mining where we go/what we say to feed us slop & sponcon is hard to believe given how often these "coincidences" happen

The special effects are bad and dated and the acting is bad and there’s a plot, which zoomers are not accustomed to

WHAT

Maybe

I’ve been canceled

I was ready

this was my impression. i showed it to a high school class some years back (right after we read the allegory of the cave) and they, while appreciating the chance to watch a movie they’d heard about, were strictly meh in response

Me in a Washington jersey

I was problematic in 1987

They’re dated now

If that!

Bad special effects I think

I am

I regret to inform you the zoomers don’t like The Matrix

Yes!

Obviously the John Wick universe is a hallucination or Neo and/or Morpheus. I know they can’t say that but I’m convinced.

I watched two and three and they’re way better than the original. Not even close. The first one is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

‘That’s the way it is’
Like a homicidal Bruce Hornsby

“how can we exploit your worst fears and anxieties” seems to be Meta’s guiding principle

it's been a long 26 years for millennials

The Bush administration folks were like “we will fight this war for 300 years if that’s what it takes” and Trump is like yeah this should be wrapped up by Easter or thereabouts

Last fall I got a little carried away with the Mac Jones thing

when you know how war works

It sounds like you won

Whomst??

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

I once bought some silicone egg rings online, for making breakfast sandwiches. I started getting ads from McDonalds saying, “sure, you can make Egg McMuffins at home, but they’ll never taste the same as the real thing”.

Holy shit.

Maybe it’s just different forms of harmful. I feel like Meta exploits my insecurities with horrifying accuracy. Bluesky is just a list of the day’s horrors.

That was rude of me. Sorry.
