How Genocide Happened

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

You best start believing in computers, Mr. Leto. You’re in one.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

Reblogging again because it's just TOO GORGEOUS

Your alt description is missing the very important point that she is in a BALL and that everyone likes her!!!!! 😭❤️

Like it’s exactly your brand - if someone made a summoning circle of those cards you would appear, it’s PERFECT

PLEASE do this 🙏 this is the best sentence I’ve read all day

A variety of electronics from the late 90s to early 00s with translucent colored plastic cases

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

[bunch of guys who haven't read a piece of fiction in 20 years] my feeling is the kids don't read anymore

Photo of a book featuring a 2 x 3 grid of photos displaying various playing card tricks: a knife stabs a card, a card is being torn up, many threatening hand gestures. Title and copy read: CARDS I AM GOING TO MURDER FIFTY-TWO COWARDS THAT HAD SOME SHIT LIKE THIS COMING TO THEM By CHRISTIAN FELT PURCHASER AGREES TO NOT TELL THE COPS

you’ve convinced me to watch this movie - the phrase “one of the all-time sluts for the ages” is one hit KO lmao

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

I Love You, But…

if they can hyper-age newborn children characters to be young adults in less than five years, then surely the soap opera justice system can work a little faster than real life

oh my god, I used to watch B&B with my Nan, and I literally didn’t tune in for 8 years, turned it on one day and they were STILL talking about how Brooke cheated with Deacon 😂 like girls, we have GOT to move on if it’s like I never left
