Our democracy has been eroded by two seemingly unrelated factors: Speculative valuation and media literacy. I will expand on these topics as and when I feel angry about them.

That was my first rapture. What's the etiquette on all the stuff left behind? Is it an honour system/honesty box kind of situation?

The online safety act is seemingly making headway in the states. What could possibly go wrong with an extremely conservative country, home to the highest number of internet hosts, with a government deep in the pockets of palantir, censoring what they want?

Jet2 memes have got to die. Once they went international the whole thing fell apart. Jet2 is a budget airline, the joke is in reference to the mental things done by tourists. It is not, in any way, a catchall for things that are a bit shit

Can we please refer to "vibe coding" the same way we do to other poor quality, low effort, AI produce? DevSlop perhaps?

Whilst I immediately hate any white guy who refers to himself as a viking, it tickles me that any guy with a garish shirt, moustache and a high fade is significantly more like a historical viking than whatever the emo, bearded cosplay is

80's fantasy films were weird. Half of them showed the protagonist transported from our world to a world full of magic, whimsy and anthropomorphic kangaroos, and they were all desperate to get back home. If I wake up tomorrow in a new wondrous world, I'm staying. I don't care how comatose I am IRL

I often wonder if there are any 50 year olds who missed the boat when social media became a thing. Are they living lives blissfully ignorant of the hell we've created for ourselves?

When the 1998 cinematic masterpiece 'Small Soldiers' was test screening, viewers were said to be confused because they couldn't understand how the Gorgonites could possibly be the good guys over the Commando Elite. Not much has changed since then

I bet you 100% soulsbourne games.
You strike me as someone who enjoys white monster and creed.

We should be thankful to Katy Perry and the rest of the blue origin crew. For the first time ever, feminists and misogynists have agreed on something: that it was a massive waste of time and resources. Well played ladies
