definitely, and i don’t think the apathy that exists for the SNP amongst its likely voter is enough of a driving force for some voters to flip green (plus the added layer of the list system which can deter people)

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

i have deleted tiktok as one of my new years resolutions. i am not placing blame on it entirely but i will say it short form content has undoubtedly made me (feel) stupider, particularly over the past year. what is more angering though is how aware i am of this β€œdecline”

one thing you have to respect about traitors is that it has systematically destroyed the mystique of every profession. barristers, detectives, magicians, all frauds
