Harris ran on "I am tougher on immigration than Donald Trump". It was a message she repeated over and over again, each time alienating a large part of her voters in order to appease Republican talking heads who could never be appeased.

The latest iteration of this doomed cycle is... a product that shows us what it would be like if you could pull up an avatar of a dead loved one on your phone whenever you wanted to and "talk" with them. www.welcometohellworld.com/for-all-thei...
The latest iteration of this doomed cycle is a company called 2wai – very annoyingly pronounced "two way" – from Disney Channel alum Calum Worthy and friends. A new advertisement for their alleged product shows us what it would be like if you could pull up an avatar of a dead loved one on your phone whenever you wanted to and "talk" with them. Until they jack up the subscription cost too high and you get to experience grandma dying all over again you'd have to guess. Then one day we will all be responsible for crawling into the void ourselves to repeat the cycle. It's nothing more than another attempt by our tech-brained parasites to cope with the devastating realization that for all their wealth and power they too will someday die. I am likewise frightened daily by this proposition but I have decided to write maudlin poetry about the fact like a normal person. I'm not trying to make my mortality everyone else's problem. Check out an ad for the app here in a spot called "We've created the technology from Black Mirror's 'Be Right Back' an episode about why you shouldn't create the technology from Black Mirror's 'Be Right Back.'"
