    It always blows my mind that people would get offended by something like this. Like, who cares? You’re going to go get teacher because someone you barely know said something that is honestly barely even mean?

    This presumably didn’t happen, but similar things do! People just get upset over nothing, it’s wild.




  • Chappelle Roan’s Subway (?); it’s on the radio at the moment constantly in my office and it honestly just sounds like wailing for like three minutes. It pierces straight through my noise-cancelling earbuds, and is just genuinely very annoying. Unfortunately, her last one, Pink Pony Club, had a similar effect. I think the pitch and power of her voice is impressive but it’s just the right level to be annoying. No hate to her as an artist, it’s not like that, it’s just those two songs make me want to vomit.













  • And that is because they get their vast, innumerable sums of digital money from world governments! Human people are allowing an advertising and surveillance tool to Wormtongue its way into their heads and their lives because it breathlessly encourages and agrees with everything they think.

    I just don’t believe that our perceptions and ability to handle enthusiastic sycophantic agreement is evolved enough yet to combat something like this. I could see it being intoxicating to anyone for everything they say to be agreed with, confirmed, and called genius. I don’t necessarily blame the people falling for it (though I do think adults who fall for it are a bit sad and need to grow up a bit), but it’s definitely going to be massively convenient for governments to have their citizens just voice everything they’re thinking.

    Sort of like Minority Report but everybody says their own future crimes outright to a little robot butler instead.
