This is an important thing to understand about how social media works.

These two things will always both be true:

1) you are allowed to like or dislike whatever you want, and your opinion is valid

2) when someone is talking positively about a thing you don't like, you can say nothing!

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

I've been informed by a reputable source (my mom) that this was the pinnacle of comedy, according to 4-yr.-old me.

I might not win over the psychos for internet dwellers with this article, but the backlash over Genndy Tartokovsky's Fixed needs to end already. Read at your own virtue.

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Hey so there's a scam on bluesky going around:

IF SOMEONE DMs YOU SAYING YOU ARE BEING IMPERSONATED

DISREGARD IT

THE PERSON MESSAGING YOU HAS BEEN HACKED AND IS TRYING TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT.

THEY WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO CHANGE YOUR ACCOUNT EMAIL.

AGAIN, THIS IS A SCAM.

Exactly. Even 3+ hour long movies aren’t going to cover everything in the world.

I wonder if people who complain about a story in any piece of media being “simple” don’t even think that their favorite pieces of media could have inherently basic plots as well.

I am so sick of this current state of media criticism.

It’s possible to have empathy for people you wish to never have in your life ever again. That said, they’re also not worth the time of day.

You could do what I do and boil that energy into one big crash session in the night.
