It’s called elevated horror, T. It’s when the dracula is actually that you’re in a codependent relationship.

Came home from a nice weekend to water stains on my living room ceiling. Trying to get a hold of my upstairs neighbor today. What the hell are they doing up there. Could be roof leak too maybe.

The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia Facial recognition and crowdsourced social media investigations are constantly being used not just on cringe CEOs, but on random people who are simply existing in public.

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive"
