A thing I think a lot about is how a huge change from when I was growing up is how surveilled everyone is at all times, just about everywhere, and how many people voluntarily buy into it by installing their own systems, internal and external. And phones are surveilling you everywhere you take them.

The wind felt hot, bell-curved for autumn.
Poor for flying, but good for hanging out and chatting
tow plane and perfectly blue skies except for the moon

Tron: Legacy's Costumes Weren't Just Uncomfortable - They Were Dangerous

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement
An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
